If he has, he's early.
I think most of the sleep hygiene/sleep etiquette stuff quoted above and NHS choices 'works', but it's more long term, not necessarily going to help you on really bad nights with a lot of stress. I read Why we Sleep by Matthew Walker a neuroscientist a while ago and it was very interesting.
The blue light stuff is the shorter wavelengths, in the above book it does point out research that says the shorter wavelengths are more disruptive. My phone screen on the latest version of android turns down the blue light at 10:30pm, not sure how much of a difference it makes.

I thought this was about right, in broad terms. It fits in my house anyway.

Milzy...i don' know if this relates to how you're feeling but ...
I have a moderately important job in the sense my work keeps the factory running and several hundred people being productive and the company being profitable if my work is done properly and diligently. I love my job but hate the politics, the 'it's not my problem' mentality, the constant pushing of workload down the food chain, and so on and so on...i just want to do my job well, without constant distraction and interference...and it bugs the hell out of me sometimes, the politics etc, i can get really angry and peed off sometimes, to the point i want to look for another job. The people are nice but the system stinks.
But then, occasionally, i have a what I call, a mental reset. Fook the lot of em, say yes to the bothersome stuff, smile and either do it, or say yes and send them away happy...and don't do it. The system isn't going to change for me, it's me that has to fit in....or ship out.
It' very cathartic, you can change your outlook at work with a change of your own expectation. When i do this i usually feel better almost instantly, sometimes after months of getting more and more peed off.
Theres' also the impact your poor mood has on how your colleagues view you. I'm sure I'm not very good to be around when my mood is low, conversely, when my moods good and I smile...people smile with you, you become a better person to be around.
In simple terms, it's up to you to adapt. It can be very very effective and change the way you feel immensey.
Hope something works for you, there's nothing worse than feeling like utter crud at work.
