Insomnia: Daily exercise, limit alcohol and caffeine, manage stress, proper sleep and nutrition. Meditation and relaxation techniques also help. If insomnia continues consult with a clinical psychologist who can help you develop lasting ways to calm yourself. Also try the anti anxiety app on your phone. Best wishes.
