Me and goergen, reppin' the 9'ers. Yea yea, boi.
Sleep is good... supposedly. At one point in my life I was convinced it was a vestigial behavioral thing. I averaged an hour a day for weeks at a time. Then again, I was also fat(ter) and unhealthy. I know I definitely train better when I get lots of sleep.

I fall asleep within moments of actually getting into bed (with the intention of sleeping), and stay in dreamless sleep until I wake up, usually either exactly 8 or exactly 9 hours later.
The question wasn't how many hours do you spend in bed on average, was it? 'Cause I'd have to say a lot more than 9.

I work a split shift 3 days a week, so I sleep 6-7 hours at night and then always have a nap for 1-2 hrs during the day.

Even if it was an average, mine would be the same. I hardly use a bed, its usually behind a nightclub or something
I often have that problem. For me it might be too much coffee or the nap during the day...I go to bed at 11pm and get up at 7am, however, I often don't fall asleep until it's like 12-1am

That means you are going to bed too son. Try going to be when you are tired enough to fall asleep in under 15 minutes, instead. You will spend less time there, and feel more rested. Unless you have some sort of sleeping disorder.
Or are you complaining that all the sex cuts into your rest? Haha.
There can be an adjustment period where you're not getting enough sleep for a while before your circadian rhythm sorts itself. You have to be consistent. Not in when you sleep, but when you wake up. If you already are, well, it's probably something else.
There are a lot of different things you can try to to improve your sleeping habits. I'd say look to your diet and nutrition first, but yeah.
I assume you know to be getting enough zinc and magnesium, and maybe some melatonin if that helps.What do you do in the 90-120 minutes before bed? You want to be doing something relaxing and/or boring.
Do you sleep in a warm room? (Cool and lots of blankets is better)
The way I know I'm ready for bed is I read, and when I start to lose my concentration and feel a sort of dull heaviness in my head, it's sleepy time.
One thing I think may be very helpful for you is to write it all down. All the stuff going through your mind, I mean. Maybe make a journal, or a "to do" list, or even set goals, to clear your head of concerns and/or worries. (Then address them the next day, once you are rested).
Anyway, there are lots of resources out there, check some of them out. Sleep is vital!
