Write a list of everything on your mind before you go to sleep so that you can sleep without worrying that you'll forget it. It's a to do list, a worry list, and anxiety list, and it calms you down so you can sleep peacefully.

Don't watch TV or look at a screen right before bed. Use software that removes the blue light from your monitor (called flux for mac). Drink a cup of herbal tea before bed. Get some vigorous exercise during the day. Avoid caffeine after 2pm.

From what I've observed, setting a schedule for yourself can help regulate your sleeping patterns and ultimately achieve better sleep. Although, sometimes you just want to stay up late, which is perfectly fine. I'd say, get acquainted with the number of hours that you usually sleep and try to observe whether or not you feel good after these hours. The duration of 'good' sleep varies from person to person, so familiarize yourself with how you feel after you wake up. Do you feel refreshed? Do you feel tired? Or maybe you feel the same?
