Relaxation: Anyone can have a few sleepless nights. Insomnia is a persistent pattern of sleep disturbance. Medication is sometimes neccessary. But natural solutions can be tried. Relaxation sometimes is enough. A simple technique is to focus on your breathing and breathe slow. Imagine something that is calming like being at a beach, listening to the sound of the ocean. Try this when you first get into bed.

See below: Agree with dr. Golden. If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, it can be insomnia. Early morning awakenings can also be related to it. If you stare at the clock frequently at night, you may have it. It can be due to many medical and psychological issues, including life changing events and stressors. If you have trouble sleeping and have good sleep hygiene, a sleep dr. Can evaluate you.
