Your problem is not insomnia -- it is delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS).

Read http://www.stanford.edu/~dement/delayed.html

You have a natural sleep cycle that is reponsible for both waking you and putting you to sleep.

In normal phase, it would keep you awake in the evening, put you to sleep late at night, and wake you again in the morning.

By having delayed phase, the hormones and brain activation that normally keeps you awake in the evening is kicking in later. This keeps you from falling asleep, even though you want to. In the morning, your body has finally entered sleep-mode. Hence it is a real struggle to get up and stay up -- your brain clock doesn't match the demands put in you.

You shouldn't be focusing on dragging yourself out of bed -- this will only work so well if you're going to bed at 4:30. Eventually sleep deprivation will catch up with you, and you're still going to have problems falling asleep earlier at night. You need to reset your sleep mode.

Fortunately, your brain is designed to reset its 24 hour rhythms. The key is bright light. Normal indoor lights won't do this -- sunlight or a light box will. You need to get lots of light early in the morning, every day. This exposure should eventually get your brain in sync with your demands, and allow you to fall asleep earlier.

Again, read the link I posted, and perhaps some others. Some doctors know a lot about sleep disorders, but many don't.
