Optimize: Work on your sleep hygiene first,like avoiding stimulant food or drinks too close to bedtime. Turn off computer,tv,etc at least 30 min before bedtime. Make room as dark,quiet as you can and make sure room temp down to around 70 if possible. If self help measures don't work talk to your doctor about other possible reasons. Lack of sleep can be dangerous!
