I used to have problems with sharing my bed too; it seems to have gotten better with practice.
In terms of getting to sleep, that is also a big problem for me. I have a tendency to spend hour and hours on the internet or watching TV and movies instead of putting myself to bed.
I don’t know if this would be helpful to you, but what’s helping me right now is the radio. I got this radio alarm and I can program it to turn off after an hour or half-an-hour. I set it to a talk station or some other low-key station at a low volume and go to bed with it on; it relieves some anxiety about the actual act of going to bed somehow. like maybe it’s a transition between computer time and bedtime; definitely makes it easier for me to turn off the computer at night. I find a relaxed position and pay attention for a bit to the information but eventually – usually – I will drift off.
good luck.
