You have to do a regular routine in order for you to sleep back on track. Make a schedule what time you go sleep and what time you wake up.

1. Stick to a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning, even on weekends and holidays. This will help to regulate your body’s internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day.

2. Exercise Regularly: Exercise can help to promote better sleep by reducing stress and improving overall physical health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each day.

3. Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Stress and anxiety can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Try relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing to reduce stress.

4. Avoid Stimulants: Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol close to bedtime. Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol are all stimulants that can interfere with sleep.

5. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment: Make sure that your bedroom is dark, quiet, and comfortable. Also, avoid screens (TV, phone, laptop) close to bedtime as the blue light emitted from screens can interfere with your body’s natural sleep cycle.

6. Take a Warm Bath: Taking a warm bath before bed can help to relax the body and mind and make it easier to fall asleep.

7. Limit Naps: Try to limit napping during the day, as napping can make it more difficult to fall asleep at night.

Hello!

There are few tips that can drastically improve your sleeping situation! ( I say from experience)

* Sat you go to bed around 10 pm. Do not drink any more coffee/ coke or anything with caffeine starting at 7 p.m

* Drink natural teas and make use of different fruits that have proven to be good for this matter, such as passion fruit! It is amazing! You can open a passion fruit, pour its contents on a cup, add some water + sugar and drink!

* Turn off your phone, it is sleep time

* Fix your room so it is clean, get rid of lights, noises and anything that might disturb you from falling asleep

Stop taking long naps if you're fond of that.A 20 minutes nap is okay and its recommended you take it immediately after taking lunch if possible. Taking a nap in the late evening might affect you when it comes to sleeping.

Do not go to bed with an empty stomach. Ensure you eat something even if it's light. This is because the brain need energy to facilitate the sleeping process, when you go to bed without eating it means there's no energy supplied to the brain.

Finally, after you're done eating you can go to bed and continue watching some movie or playing video games.This will keep you in a conducive environment for sleeping and it will come automatically and you'll find yourself tired and you'll finally sleep.

This is a very serious condition and very dangerous to lives. I think the best ways to deal with this is to have a guider that directs the person on the way to do things and also always to be around the person. Places  like swimming pool can be very dangerous for the people having insomnia to use. They may end up drowning in water.

I'm a really poor sleeper. I usually manage to drop off to sleep but I have a problem staying asleep. I will wake up after two or three hours.

The worst thing is to just lie there hoping sleep will come, it never works for me. I usually get up and make a warm drink and then try and stay awake long enough to drink it! I instinctively find my eyelids dropping before I reach the bottom of the cup!

I also have a really bad habit of falling asleep during the day which interferes with my night time sleep pattern.  When you're really tired from lack of sleep it's so tempting to do this but try not to as the cycle just repeats itself and you won't sleep again at night.

I saw in a movie where the main character had insomnia. So he used to write everything in his body to keep him remember. He used to write his name, his missions and the plans for the day. So even if he would forget he won't fail to look around his body obviously he'll see writings and get curious to find out what they are and in the process he'll see all his daily plans. That's one way of handling it.

I had an insomia when my sleeping patterns became different from one another. I also have anxiety or over thinks so when it is needed to fall asleep, my minds starts to wander and boom, I lost a sleep. I was working at night for  year, and because of that, it is hard to sleep. My cure was this. I gather all of the support system to help me sleep. When my shift changes, i started to try sleeping before 10 in the evening. I do not take a nap or sleep during daytime. I drink milk or warm milk before sleeping. I turned off my wifi for  me not to influence to check something online. I even drink anti oxidant supplements to help me sleep deeper. I even use eye mask or sometimes I turned off the lights so that it will give a perfect night mode that puts me to sleep.

Insomnia is a condition where a person have trouble in falling asleep or stay sleeping for a period of time. First of all, insomnia is a secondary condition which is generally associated with primary life conditions or issues such as chronic stress, depression, some prevailing life situation which interferes with mind relaxation and sleep. 

So, in order to deal with insomnia, one need to consult with a mental health professional or counselor or psychologist to share the issues and if they suggest, medical help could also be taken. But merely medication is not sufficient to deal with insomnia. Only medication could help one to fall asleep but the route cause will remain untouched. So, it is necessary to work on the basic reason leading to the condition.

The best thing to do is to keep a routine which you can follow regularly such as the time to go to bed and the time for waking up. Also avoid stressful situations and thinking especially during the times you are about to go to bed. Eat healthy foods and avoid distractions in the bedroom such as television and radio.
