Insomnia Treated ?

Lifestyle Changes
Make sure your bedroom is a comfortable temperature, dark, and quiet enough for sleep.

Avoid substances such as:

#Caffeine, tobacco, and other stimulants taken too close to bedtime (effects of caffeine can take as long as 8 hours to wear off).

#Certain over-the-counter and prescription medicines that can disrupt sleep (for example, some cold and allergy medicines).

#Alcohol. An alcoholic drink before bedtime may make it easier for you to fall asleep. But alcohol triggers sleep that tends to be lighter than normal and makes it more likely that you will wake up during the night.

Good bedtime habits include:

#Following a routine that helps you wind down and relax before bed, such as reading a book, listening to soothing music, or taking a hot bath.

#Not exercising, eating heavy meals, or drinking a lot shortly before bedtime.

#Making your bedroom sleep-friendly. Avoid bright lighting and minimize possible sleep distractions, such as a TV, computer, or pet.

#Going to sleep around the same time each night and waking up around the same time each morning, even on weekends. If possible, avoid night shifts or alternating schedules at work and other causes of irregular sleep schedules.
