Can you tell me how to stay asleep and go to bed and wake up with plenty of rest?

Insomnia: Good sleep hygiene is key. Try to avoid electronics, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, vigorous exercise, bright lights, ; large meals prior to bedtime. Regularize your sleep ; wake up times. Use the bed only for sleep. Manage stressors. Don't look at the alarm clock. Understanding why you have insomnia can be effective in treating it. A sleep medicine specialist can help with figuring that out.
