Do you eat carbs before you go to bed? Could be that. Or maybe your body isn't used to a steady routine yet. It could be any couple of things though. I used to have this so bad when I was younger. Over the past year or so with laboring as a job, I'm usually physically exhausted by the end of the night.
I always have trouble getting to sleep. The best thing is probably to read, as that tires your eyes out while not overstimulating them (which the computer screen does).
OTC sleep aids do next to nothing for me, except make me feel worse the next day. No thanks.
Well I take medication that's time release that sedates the Hell out of me so I can fall asleep. I have insomnia, it has been that way on and off for the last 2 years..... I recently found out myself, I'm allergic to caffeine- my body doesn't eliminate it very well and so I cut caffeine out of my diet completely for months now am able to take naps during the day sometimes. Working out helps make you tired also..... I also read somewhere not eating three hours before also helps with sleep. I agree with above, reading something- that's what I usually do also.
When I have insomnia I just listen to relaxation videos or watch boring television shows.
Easy solution: (SPOILER)Start watching/reading Twilight, and you'll faint.
read, play solitaire on my ipod, wank.
Oh, and have a full exhaustive day beforehand. That's usually the biggest part.

No, it's just that solitaire and fapping doesn't quite go together well.
Neither does solitaire and reading, but you know, I never said I did them simultaneously.
True. But you'd do that when you can't fall asleep. Wouldn't that make you more awake rather tired- You know what, nevermind. I don't even wanna go deep into discussion about fappin.
Peeg: I think that's what my problem is cause my "schedule" seems to be the same as yours, 4 or 5 am until 10 am.
All of your guys' suggestions are my normal routines xD I turn on the Nobuo Uematsu/Yoko Kanno playlist (I am SO nerdy <3) and i even have my fan blowing directly on me (I HAVE to be covered up to sleep, so you can imagine how hot i get) and i get as comfortable as I can and it's like asdfaklsdjfakjdf So I end up getting up and internetting/simming/360ing whatever it takes until I'm too exhausted to stay up any longer.
I guess I'll have to spoil myself with more music ;-;
@Rocket: It's possible that it could be the eating. I'll avoid eating late tonight to see where it gets me (my diet is another concern for me lately, I totally lost my appetite but it's picking back up lately, so it seems.)
@Raist, noname: Reading while listening to my peaceful music sounds like a plan.
@Rubah: wanking used to do it for me, but now it just wakes me up even more. ._.
