Lifelong insomniac, though it has gotten better as i get older (66 now). Just home from a few hundred miles on the Empire State Trail.

Though i had slept better than usual while touring, but fell asleep at 4pm yesterday and awoke in the morning.

Here are the things that have worked for me: 1) get older (easy to do!); 2) don't drink any coffee/tea/colas; 3) consume enormous amounts of a certain plant legal in NY, and 23 other states (also great for stamina/endurance during the day; i use it by prescription, in case any mods are shocked by this information).
