If you have insomnia, it’s important to first find out the cause. If you have mental sickness like depression or psychological disorder from being too anxious, it gets better as you treat the sicknesses. Another way to treat insomnia is to change your sleeping environment.

This includes:

Never lying down unless you are ready to go to sleep, because the longer you lay down, it breaks your sleeping pattern and you will have light sleeps.

Set your bed time and sleep at a regular time and wake up at the same time every day.

Drinking a cup of warm milk is good. Milk contains tryptophane that relates to sleep.

When you get anxious and irritated from not being able to sleep, don’t force yourself to sleep and turn on the light and try something else like reading books and try sleeping again. Once your sleeping pattern is broken, it takes at least a couple of weeks to return back to your normal pattern. If this doesn’t work, you can try taking sleeping drugs. It’s better to have consultation before getting a sleeping drug because there are so many different kinds. One helps you to fall asleep and one helps you to stay asleep and there are many more kinds.
