3 hours is very: Little sleep. You can try melatonin. Good sleep hygiene is also very important. Would encourage you to seek medical eval if this is a chronic issue. 1. Keep regular bed ; wakening time (includes weekends). Get up same time daily. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable.

Insomnia: Please see a sleep disorders specialist. There are over 80 different sleep disorders. Please don't put it off. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that anxiety or depression could set in. In the meanwhile practice good sleep hygiene.See :counselingservice.Vassar.Edu/docs/sleep%20hygeine%20... Good sleep hygiene handout the most common cause of insomnia is a change in your daily routine. In the meanwhile, until you get in to see a sleep specialist you can use benadryl, (diphenhydramine) melatonin, valerian root, chamomile tea, or passionflower.
