I found( quite by accident) that if I eat protein in the mornfirst nag, turkey, cheese, pizza, eggs, milk and skip fruit, cereal and breakfast bar treats I'm not craving the sweets as much. I'm also eating more protein and vegetable based supper and it seems to help with sleep.

I still have sweets but I don't NEED them the way I did before. I prefer to avoid the artificial sweeteners unless your diabetic I'd recommend just sticking to small amounts of reg sugar. I found that artificial sweeteners just set me up to crave more.
