Insomnia: Insomnia can be caused by many different issues, so it's important to get to the underlying root of the problem. Whether it's anxiety driven, obstructive sleep apnea or other issues, it should be discussed with your doctor. Try not to use the bed for anything else outside of sleep. Also, melatonin is a natural sleep aid that can help out as well.
