Cut the lights in the evening. Use dimmer, warmer ones. No screens. Give yourself 30 minutes of darkness before going to bed. Buy good curtains/blinds. As a last resort, take melatonin.

To me, 7 felt like a reskin of Vista with features removed.
The features people complained about in Vista where in 7. I think the departure from XP is what was rough, in part because of the jump in security and in ressource usage. But by the time 7 came out, people had sold the old familly room computer and got a newer machine that could handle the additional load.
