You can't make yourself sleep. You can make yourself get up. Force yourself to get up early the going to bed early part will take care of itself.

Oh and you should stop drinking liquids a couple of hours before bed. Unless your a man over 50, in that case if you want to sleep through the night you'll have to avoid any fluids after Tuesday.

Maybe for you, for me I get exhausted in the middle of the day, and when night rolls around I get a second wind that lasts until the wee hours anyway.

YMMV but personally, I've never found that no liquids thing to be good advice. My body seems to wake me up if I need to pee in between sleep cycles, and I have no problem getting back to sleep. But I can get busy and forget to drink enough, and then realize how thirsty I am as I'm getting ready for bed.
