See below: Insomnia can be frustrating. To determine the underlying cause of the insomnia, it's recommended that you see a sleep medicine physician. Until then, try improving your sleep hygiene by avoiding alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, bright lights, vigorous exercise, large meals, ; electronics close to bedtime. Fall asleep ; wake up at the same time everyday. Minimize stressors. Hope that helps!
