I concur with several others on this thread that in my experience, after years of trying different things, the only thing that worked was consistently waking up early everyday (~6am). I also read in bed until I'm sleepy (usually within 30 minutes). The common literature on this subject says not to do that so I avoided for a long time. But one day I decided to try and it worked!
