Can't stay asleep at night?

For the past three nights I keep on waking up around 7 AM uncontrollably, this is not my desired wake up time because I go to sleep around 1:30 AM. I'm not sure if it is because my room brightness but it isn't that bright whatsoever, maybe it's stress? I really need help because I'm not getting sufficient sleep and it's interfering with my daily activities. What kind of doctor could I see?

    To sleep better just relax and switch off, if you can.

    If you are having trouble switching off at bedtime some light exercise (for example, push ups or sit ups) at bedtime often helps you to relax, unwind and switch off and that often improves your sleep. Strenuous exercise at bedtime is likely to ruin your sleep.

    Common sleep aids include warm milk, Chamomile tea, 5-HTP, Melatonin and Valerian.

    Sleep enhancing foods are supposed to include turkey, cherries, oatmeal, bananas, wine and others as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmOObYl...
