I have no problem with falling asleep. I have issues sleeping through the night. Most nights I'll wake up 2-3 times and some nights I'll wake up nearly every hour. I fall right back to sleep, but it is still bothersome.
ETA: What's weird that this started happening all of a sudden three years ago while I was on a cruise and has continued since. Never had the issue before.

This is me when I'm sleeping during the day when working nights.
I go to bed right when I get home from work and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow....but will sometimes get up many times before the time I actually want to get up in the afternoon.
I take tryptophan supplements though sometimes and that helps(supposed to help you if you have no issues falling asleep but can't stay asleep). I only take it though when I have planned to get at least 7 hours sleep.

In addition to some things others have said:
1.) Install f.lux on your computer if you use one later in the day.
2.) Be sure you are getting outside in the bright sun during the day.
3.) Develop a SOLID bedtime routine.
a.) Turn off or avoid all screens 1:30 before bedtime. The blue light and stimulation will interfere with quality sleep, including serotonin release. You don't need your phone.
b.) Turn off or dim all lights
c.) Take a cool shower
d.) Be sure your home is no higher than 72 degrees.
e.) Put some light music with no words (instrumental) on.
f.) Read some light fiction
g.) Your bedroom needs to be as dark as possible.
h.) Consider a magnesium supplement like Natural Calm.
Also, consider eating carbs at night if you aren't currently. There is a good connection (embraced especially by carb-backloaders) to evening carbs and good sleep.

I used to easily go the entire night without waking up or anything.
As of a couple years ago, I can't sleep through the night without having to pee 2-3 times.
