I have exactly the same problem.

Here's what works:
  • Get up at the same time each day, say 8am.
  • Don't drink coffee or tea after a certain time, say 6 pm.
  • Go to bed at the same time each day, say midnight.
  • Get away from the computer at least a full hour before you plan to go to bed at night.
  • Every morning when you get up, take a walk outside for ~30 minutes. You need the sunlight to let your body know it's time to be awake.
  • Eat at regular times.
  • Make sure you get enough exercise every day, preferably fairly early in the day.

Essentially, you want to rebuild your biological clock.

Of course, without external influences (like a 9-5 job) it requires a hell of a lot of willpower, something that very few people have.
