Some inside info on how to get a better night's sleep...
Morning: Wake up at the same time every day, whether that's 5:30 or 8:30. This ritual will help maintain your circadian rhythms and make it more likely you'll fall asleep at the same time every night, too. (Yes, you can sleep an hour later on weekends.) As soon as you wake up, get into some sort of daylight situation really quickly, even if it's just stepping out on a balcony. Bright light suppresses the production of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone in your brain, and helps set your body clock. If you're going to have coffee, this is the time, avoid it from noon on, and limit their morning dose to a cup or two.
