Sleep Medicine Time!: The place to start is an honest review of good sleep hygiene! you can find these guidelines on various websites, american association of sleep disorders clinics, nih, etc. If you are following good sleep hygiene practices & still suffer insomnia, consider whether or not you are anxious about something. If you need help figuring this out, make an appointment to see a psychiatrist of sleep disorders.

Eval/sleep hygiene: Have you had a sleep study done to figure out reasons for insomnia? Practice sleep hygiene: keep you room a little on a chilly side, warm shower before bed, bedtime routine: no tv, or anything stimulating, no heavy meals. If you can't fall asleep, get out of bed and do something really boring until you feel sleepy and then go back to bed. Go to bed and wake up at the same time.
