1. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. This helps condition your body to sleep during the sleep phase of your biological clock. Once this happens, your emotional disposition will greatly improve.
2. Cut back on coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Most colored soft drinks contain enough caffeine to keep you awake. Clear soft drinks such as 7-Up and Sprite contain no caffeine.
3. Avoid eating large, heavy meals before going to bed.

NEW ANSWER: I used to suffer from insomnia... really bad. I wouldn't sleep for nights on end and sometimes end up sleeping all day. But one day I just stayed up for 24hrs. straight.. and it may be hard to believe but when I slept that night, I slept beautifully, not only did I sleep great that night... but ALL nights to follow. It's been about 2 years. :) Hope this helps you!
