See below: You have sleep interuption/sleep onset difficulty. Improve the sleep hygiene by going to bed the same time and wake up same time. Sleep restriction therapy by staying in bed only when asleep and out of bed when cannot sleep > 15 min . Exercise regularly. Avoid caffeine after lunch. Yoga and slow deep breathing exercise helps. Keep sleep log. If stil problem see your doc or get sleep doc to see you.

Need to know reason: You need to know the reason why you have difficulty falling asleep: it is too much anxiety/stress? Too much caffeine? Depression? Sleep apnea? You should see a sleep specialist to get a better handle on why you can't fall asleep.
