Complicated: Determining what causes difficulties getting to sleep can be difficult. Sleep problems can be caused by many things. Don't wait to just go away. Try determining what keeps you awake either by yourself or with a professional. There are sleep clinics readily available. Make sure to go to bed at a regular time, wake at a regular time, don't eat late and no electronics for an hour before bed.
