Dr. Carlos Satulovsky answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Psychotherapy, and: : Sleep hygiene (going to sleep regularly at the same time, no lights or noises, avoid certain meals, not doing other things like reading/watching tv in bed, etc.) maybe meds too. A thorough medical checkup would be also recommended.
