Insomnia: Get out of bed, walk around or sit in a chair and read. Drink a glass of warm milk. Do not watch television or play video games since that will make things worse. After sitting and reaading for 15 to 30 minutes try going to bed.

Good sleep hygiene: 1.Keep regular bed ; waking time (even weekends). Rise same time each day, regardless of time you fell asleep. 2. Develop relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath/shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable mattress ; pillows. 4. Bedroom is only for sleep ; sex. No work materials, computers, ; tv in room. 5. Finish eating at least 2-3 hr.
