I've had sleep problems my entire life, so I feel for everyone in this thread. But what has worked for me for the past year and a half is to wear a sleep mask. It's completely revolutionised how I sleep. I used to be that guy who would take forever to fall asleep, then wake up at 3am and lie there until my alarm went off. Ever since I got a sleep mask, those nights are few and far in between. It forces my eyes to stay shut, so when I wake up at 3am, I no longer open my eyes to check the clock. Little increases in light used to trigger me awake. Not anymore.
Might not work for everyone, but it's been a god send for me.
