Surely you could find some reckless doc to prescribe sleeping pills for you, but that's certainly not what I would consider. Here are the motions I go through myself. They come without any guarantees, and I suspect there's a good deal of placebo effect. Which means you have to find remedies you truly believe in for yourself. All in your local timezone (not your body's) 1. No caffeine after lunch. 2. Last big meal no later than 18:00. snacks/bites after that should be low-carbo or at least slow-carbo. 3. If possible, excercise enough in the evening to make your body lust for rest. The common note to those three is to make it easier to persuade the brain to nap at earlier hours.
