Take Ambien. 8 hours of sleep on Ambien will still give you more REM sleep than 4 hours of "regular" sleep. Not to mention, you don't want to have to worry about having all that anxiety. I'm sure this isn't going to be a popular opinion here, but I would even suggest taking it a few days (or weeks) before your exam so your body adjusts and compensates your REM sleep and such accordingly. Feel free to flame me...

im going to be doing what i did for the MCAT. going to bed super early, well about 10pm and forcing myself to wake up around 6am everyday during the week off.. this way i can get my body used to falling asleep early and after waking up at 6am i will be so tired by 10pm that falling asleep wont be too hard.

Probably cos its more physiology than pathology. Your core temp has to drop to a certain point to fall asleep. A hot shower delays this. it would have the same effect as watching a movie or eating too close to bed time. probably not a huge deal for most people but if you already have sleep problems, that could make a huge difference.
