Brief Answer:
Fix awakening time
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion the next best step is to fix awakening time. Get out of bed on fix time irrespective of sleep duration during preceding night.
In addition avoid sleeping during day to allow accumulation of some sleep before next day.
Medication can be considered as further step.
I hope this helps you.
