Sleep habit: Assuming you have not been consuming caffeine after 3 p.m. and have no problem falling asleep, we will need to know your age and other medical conditions to provide you a guess. As we age, sleep tends to become more irregular and taking long naps will worsen it. Prostate issue , pain, nasal obstruction, sleep apnea, and anxiety also keep people awake. Talk to your doctor.

Hows sleep hygiene?: Retire & rise same time each day. Bedroom should be dark & cool - used only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Dinner should be moderate sized & finished at least 2 to 3 hours before sleep. Can try warm milk, chamomile tea or melatonin along w light reading, warm bath, lavender scent.
