Mindfulness practice: There are many causes of insomnia, including anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, and more. In addition to medication, meditation for 10 minutes daily may prove helpful. A psychological evaluation and individual psychotherapy can help you to evaluate the causes of your insomnia and find solutions.
