Are you drinking any caffeine during the day (aside from first thing in the AM)? I cut out all coffee during the day and its helped my sleep considerably.
I get up at 4am. All it takes is a rhythm.
As for falling asleep, once you get the hang of getting up at 4am, you'll be tired around 10pm anyway so no need for any external help.
Initially, take some melatonin to reset your inner clock.
I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing.

As the article also emphasize, its all about that routine.
Since it seens we share somewhat same daily schedule, I have a question for you mate; How do you get around holidays, vacations and late nights out? - It really stirs with my hours and I feel like shit when I have to get back into the routines.
I try to sleep the same number of hours every night. When I stay up longer I just sleep the same number of hours and get up. But tbh even on weekends or on vacation I tend to get up at roughly the same hour, just because I wake up naturally round the same hour by now.
If you can't fall asleep, just take some melatonin, it really does help to reset your immer clock.

I didn't realize the commute would be such a big part of this post... I know its a lot, but it was only supposed to be temporary. We do a lot of driving in general, I used to commute from San Jose to San Diego 420miles give or take, thats a drive I used to do about once a week. There are plenty of people here that do 50 mile commutes on a daily basis, so I never really thought of it as that big of a deal. It's not forever, we're looking to make things a bit easier.
actually, she just doesn't want to admit to you that she's been driving for uber, hence the mileage, and just doesn't want to wake up at 4:30am everyday like a sociopath
Is it feasible to just wake up quietly and move to a different room? My wife wakes up 30 min before me so she get her morning workout in before she leaves for work. She puts her running gear in the living room the night before, slips out of bed, and throws her shoes/headphones on out there. I usually don't even notice.
Also, as far as falling asleep - less caffeine later in day. And crush yourself when exercising even if only for a short workout, the more "deeply" I'm exhausted the better I tend to fall asleep.
The major draw for me is being able to get a good run and workout in, cook breakfast, and catchup on some news before the day starts. If I'm up at 4:30 it makes everything easier to get done before work starts. For her its just about the commute, its an hour drive without traffic and depending on the day an hour-and-a-half to two hours depending on when you hit a city. Over all it works out well, its just building the sleep cycle to stick with it. It probably doesn't fit well with everyones schedule, but it makes a good deal of sense for us.

Why do you wake up so early?
Start work at 6.30am and hit the gym beforehand
This.

Doesn't sound like a logical woman. Would re-evaluate commitment level
Does she drive those 70 miles? How does she handle the commute?
Yeah we go through cars quick, and part of the commute is through San Francisco. It's just a nightmare.
Has she thought about moving her work hours (if possible) to avoid traffic?
I can't imagine doing 140 miles a day in the car.
Yeah, it's something we're working on. It was supposed to be really temporary but plans changed and its been dragging on now.
70 mile commute? What the fuck?

No wonder she wants to stay in bed longer and sleep she is sitting in a car for 3 hours a day
Commuting 50 miles from the east bay into the city everyday....1 more month of this BS

I'm confused. Does she drive you? Why do you care when she gets up?
Have a baby together. Sleep and getting up in the morning won't be a problem anymore, trust me.

This shouldn't even be a topic. If you told me I had to get up at 4 am I'd freak the fuck out too.
Just wake up and let her sleep, how fucking hard is this?
I do this everyday
4am is the middle of the night. If you actually can't tell that the sun hasn't risen, why not get up at 3am
Morning doesn't start before dawn. It's not rockit science
