A perfect sleeping pattern is like.... a table(!??)

Supported by 4 absolute pillars, and perhaps a beermat here or there to make things perfect.

Anyway if you remove a leg/pillar then everything goes tits up.

The four legs are:

Get up at a set time (bit obvious and may hurt to start with but is essential in the long-run)
Exercise. (Body and mind need exercising, so take up a sport or goto the gym and I'd imagine through work your mind gets its fair share. If not read a book before bed)
Diet. As someone has mentioned - Caffeine/Alcohol/Sugar are bad. Drink plenty of water, do not eat a late supper, and generally eat healthy.
Environment - The bedroom should be for sleeping ONLY (apart from light reading perhaps, and maybe sex if you should be so lucky). So no Xbox/PC Games, No television, No eating. Make sure the room is pitch black and is as quiet as possible. Oh and make sure it's not a complete mess - that is bad juju.
