Angel, this may not be the answer you want, and/or it may not work for you. I'm speaking from my own experience.
I'm not a morning person but feel most alert in the evening. But if I stay on the computer late, adding to these forums, it's too much mental stimulation & I'll never fall asleep, even with a med to help with sleep. My mind is too actively engaged. I can be physically tired but not aware of it as I'm mentally very awake.
Get away from the computer when you want to go to bed & do something boring. Get in a prone position & read something fairly boring - nothing mentally stimulating in the least. It may take a while but it always works for me. Otherwise, I can be on the computer for hours & not even be aware of the time passing.
