It's something I've always struggled with as well. - Melatonin is a great, cheap, natural sleep aid. You should only need 1-2mg. Take it an hour or two before bed. I believe you're not supposed to use it more than X nights in a row; look that up. But you can use it to establish a habit. - Getting good exercise helps. If you're not currently exercising, anything is better than nothing: do some stretches, take a walk, etc. - If you live somewhere where marijuana is legal, some strains can be good for sleep, but it may be a slightly extreme solution unless you've tried other solutions. I have nothing against marijuana but I would try other solutions first. - I will of course not insult anybody's intelligence by mentioning ruling out stimulants as much as possible, especially later in the day. Also, waking up early has been almost a challenge for me It could be that your sleep quality is poor. If you have been sleeping poorly for months or years, it can take weeks of good sleep to erase that. In the meantime you will be hungry for extra sleep. Can also do some exercise in the morning. Once your body is in the habit of morning exercise it may anticipate this and wake up better. If you have ruled out sleep quality issues, maybe stimulants are the way to go.
