Sleep hygiene: Are you eating a reasonable amount of food for dinner? How long before your bedtime do you eat? Make sure that you are not working out too close to bedtime.

Can't sleep: Talk to your doctor about this & see if you need assessed for secondary insomnia (insomnia due to other organic or psychological factors) which can be treated. Meanwhile you can try the sleep hygeine techniques.

Sleep problems.: Agree w dr. Awan. It would require medical evaluation to know if this is related to hormonal changes or not. In the meantime, work on sleep hygiene. Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use 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. Keep dinner moderate sized & >>.
