I'm in the same position as you, except I've had it since adolescence. If you can take it medically, do hard exercise at noon everyday, or if you're too tired, just take a walk at noon or close to it. Idea is to expose yourself to bright light.

It worked for me for about a week, until my body resisted it (don't ask me how that's possible)..

I didn't watch the video, but here's my recipe. Give up all stimulants, cofein and nicotin. Fix your food diet, with enough real vitamins and no fat, sugar, salt, roasted food, low nutrient foods, pills. Start to exercise 3 times a week. Go to bed only if you feel like sleeping. If not, get up in the middle of the night and do something. Take a vacation from stressful work for this overworking period. You will fall in sleep almost automatically without medication. Go back to work with a rhythm

Rhythm is one of the key things. Go to bed at the same time every evening 22.30. Get off in the middle of the night for not more than 45 minutes and try again for 1-2 hours to sleep. If not in sleep, get off every morning at 9.00. A sleep rhythm can be achieved with 4 nights of same sleeping time, after which you might not even need an alarm to wake up at 8.5 h after you fell asleep.
