Discuss with PCP: Insomnia can result from medical or psychological factors- or it can result from poor habits around sleep. Would recommend that you mention this to your PCP. For more information, see http://www.sleepeducation.org/

Agree w' Dr Conroy: If physical issues are ruled out, consider working with a psychologist and learning clinical hypnosis as well as developing a healthy sleep routine with them.

See below: Talk to you primary care doctor as to why you're experiencing insomnia. Meanwhile, establish time when you would like to go to bed. Create a bed time routine: warm showers, room on a slightly cooler side. Learn relaxation exercises to help put your body in a "i'm sleeeeeepy mode" :). Don't use your bedroom as your office. Our body likes schedules and routines. Remember that:).

Sleep Hygiene is key: 1. Keep regular bed & wakening time (even weekends). Get up same time daily. 2. Use regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath / shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfy mattress & pillows. 4. Bedroom only for sleep & sex. Put work materials, computers, & TVs in another room. 5. Finish eating at least 2-3 hrs prior to bed.

Sleep hygiene: Sleep hygiene is a start. Long term the best treatment for insomnia (assuming no other medical factors affecting sleep), is cognitive behavior therapy. Psychologist can often help with these techniques.
