Sleep Hygiene is Key: Bedroom only for sleep & sex. No food 2-3 hrs, caffeine w/i 6 hrs, alcohol or smoking w/i 2 hrs of bed. Exercise regularly at least few hrs before bed. No naps. Retire only if tired. Find another time to deal with problems. After 10-15” of inability to sleep, go to another room & read or watch TV till sleepy. Consider acupuncture, chamomile tea, warm milk or melatonin.

SLEEP: Sleep is very complex and there are many potential causes. Stress, lack of exercise, medication, alcohol, illicit drugs. Without more information it is hard to say anything specific. Melatonin and Benadryl are available over the counter.
