Sleep Hygiene: Before the bedtime, write a summary of your day -- +things that happened to you and a list for tomorrow to bring more structure to your routine. Have a bedtime routine, make sure the room is a little on a cooler side, take a warm shower before bed, try relaxation. If these things don't help, seek someone who works with sleep difficulties and talk to your physician to find a reason for insomnia.

Sleep hygiene: I agree with other physicias , we r creatures of habit if we practice sleep hygiene sleeping and waking up at the same time and when we can't sleep not to toss and turn for more than 30 miniutes we may be able to overcome insomnia.
