Thanks for the suggestions, I've tried the one where you relax all your muscles one by one and its helping me fall asleep faster. Also when its warm enough I've been taking our dog out for longer walks to tire me out abit more. Changing your sleep pattern gradualy by 15 minutes every night sounds like a good idea too, its less of a shock to your system than staying up for two days in a row, i'll have to try it.
