Sleep hygiene: 1. Maintain a regular bedtime and awakening time schedule including weekends. Get up about the same time every day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime many include a warm bath or shower, aroma therapy, reading, or listening to soothing music. 3. Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool; >>.

Lifestyle Changes: Make sure every day has some exercise before 7 PM. No caffeine after 2 PM. Add some relaxation or imagery exercises to your day. Try some meditation or prayer to get the frontal lobes functioning. Consider either melatonin or tryptophan available at your local store. Reduce the stress in your life by single tasking. Multitasking does not work. Regular sleep and awake times and enough sleep time.

Start with your primary care physician or see a sleep specialist for a sleep study and would add that you may be able to get help from a Psychiatrist prescribing Trazodone or the substitutes for Trazodone.
