I need some help getting to sleep. I have been a fussy sleeper my whole life, but now that I'm trying to LD it's just not going to work for me anymore.

My problem is that even if I'm super exhausted and thinking "ok, I'm going to bed right at 10:00", it never happens. I was talking about it with a friend and it almost feels like a waste of time to go to bed at 10:00 when I could stay up and add a couple more hours to my day. And even though I'm not thinking that and staying up for that reason, I know deep down that's what it is. By the time I get home from work, shower, eat dinner, clean up, it's 10:00. Why would I want to go to bed then? So although I am exhausted, I find myself in front of a computer or tv or cleaning or doing anything other than sleeping. But I have to wake up at 7:00 and it takes me a while to fall asleep, so I'm usually getting 5-6 hours of sleep.

5-6 hours of sleep does not result in good dream recall for me, much less LDing.

I need some REALLY GOOD tips or pshychological tricks, or behavior change ideas to inspire me to want to go to sleep at 10:00. How do I stop looking at this as a bad thing?

I try to remind myself of my ultimate goal of LDing, but somehow the idea seems to get forgotten. I need...........something. Really good. Something really good.

Help.

PS - I'm dying to LD at this point, so ANY suggestions would be more than welcome. Even if you think it might be stupid, maybe I can take something from you're suggestion and make it work for me, so please don't be afraid to respond.
