Answer 5

Try a white noise machine.

White noise is like static on a radio--it just whooshes or hisses--and it is hypnotic. It can put your brain on a different wave-length--which might keep you asleep longer.

Other non-medication things that may work: biofeedback, hypnosis (by a licensed professional), meditation, eating a small snack right before bedtime (no carbs).  

You might try wearing soft earmuffs or a sleep-hat to bed, one that covers your ears. Soundproof your room; whereever you hear the most noise, put something soft and muffly, like a comforter or blanket, there.

Try varying your bedtime--maybe you aren't supposed to be sleeping at the time you go to bed--your waking/sleeping cycles may be off. You can reset these easily.

Guided relaxation techniques are also good to learn. Most of these things can be found by googling.
