Bright light or photo-therapy has been used for years for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), circadian rhythm problems and insomnia. The basic concept is to time the exposure to bright light to when you want to be awake. If you have trouble staying awake in the morning, get bright light as soon as possible after waking up. If you fall asleep to early in the evening, get bright light in the late afternoon or evening. Sunlight is best, but if unavailable at the right time, artifical will do. Bright light boxes are available from many sources, or you can make one yourself for under $100. Here are a few web site URL's with information on bright light. NOTE - these web sites are from commercial vendors, please take their advice with a grain of salt.
