i have been a night owl for 15 years, and can sleep in the front yard now with the guy next door mowing the grass.
so until you grow your vampire eyes, here are a few tips if you just can't quite get to sleep.
* if you are not asleep within 30 mins or so, get up and do something boring for 5-10 minutes. no trading tinkering or tv, no trading books, nada...
* take a cool/cold shower. lowering your body temp helps you fall to sleep.
* get a good set of hotel curtains to block out the light. or if you want to go ghetto, cover them in aluminum foil.
* keep the bedroom cold, i have a small window unit in the bedroom. i keep the fan on for the white noise.
* learn to meditate. go ahead in laugh if you want, but you have to learn to turn your mind off.
* go to bed and get up at the same time each day.
* drink a high protein shake before bed. your looking for the highest concentration of the amino L-tryptophan.
* no coffee or alcohol 4-6 hours before bed. i still can't do the alcohol part.
