Try not to stay in bed sleeping for more than eight hours, because sleep over (even if you think that you need) may adversely affect the sleep-wake system, and may lead to general fatigue during the day.
Avoid forcing yourself to sleep; sleep does not come by force. Instead, focus on doing something relaxing like reading verses from the holy book to help you relax and go to bed when you feel sleepy.
If you cannot sleep after 15-20 minutes, leave the bedroom and go to another room and engage in a quiet activity (like reading), go back to bed only if you fell sleepy.
Hide the alarm if looking at it bothers you. However, set the alarm clock to wake up in the morning.
