Answer 1

I don't know if you're sleep problem is ongoing but mine is. If it's just a momentary problem because you have alot on your mind try wearing an eye mask so their is no light. If it is ongoing it's probably stress. I take presribed medication for sleep because without it I do not sleep. It's terrible at times to be sleep deprived so try the mask.

Answer 4

Improving your sleep habits and your sleep environment is the next important treatment step. The following tips will help to improve your sleep quality.

Avoid stimulants such as caffeine 4-6 hours before bedtime.

Avoid drinking alcohol 4-6 hours before going to bed.

Eat a light, easily digestible snack before bed but avoid large meals before bedtime.

Avoid exercising within 3-4 hours of bedtime.

Give yourself a quiet period or calm time for at least one or two hours before bed.

Develop a regular pre-sleep routine.

Improve the comfort of your bed if needed.

Make your bedroom a place to sleep. Don't eat, read, drink, smoke, or watch TV while in bed.

Reduce noise and disruptions.

Reduce light in the bedroom.

Maintain a regular temperature.

If you can't sleep -- don't stay in bed. Get out of bed, move to another room, and return to your bed when you are tired.

Avoid daytime napping. Daytime napping can alter your body's natural circadian rhythm, making it difficult to get to sleep when you should.

Get up at the same time every day. Establishing a regular time that you get out of bed will help your body to establish a consistent bed time.
Stimulus control breaks the association between "bed" and "sleeplessness". Many people with insomnia have come to associate the bed with being awake and anxious about sleeping

instead of being relaxed and asleep. Because of all the time spent in bed not sleeping, you have learned to associate the bed with racing thoughts, agitation, alertness, restlessness, and

sleeplessness. Some people notice that it is easier to fall asleep in a living room chair than in bed. Stimulus control treatment helps you re-associate the bed with sleep. There are three

simple rules to follow as part of this treatment approach.

Use your bed/bedroom for sleep and sex only; do not watch TV, listen to the radio, eat, or read in bed. Using your bed for watching TV, eating, reading, discussing family problems, doing

leftover work from the office, or other non-sleeping activities, promotes wakefulness and strengthens your associations of your bed as a place to be alert and active. Barring these

activities from your bed and bedroom will help promote the concept that "bed" means "sleep."

Go to bed only when you are tired. People with insomnia often make the mistake of going to bed before they are sufficiently tired. As such, they are not able to sleep, and anxiety and

ensuing sleeplessness result. Be sure that you are really feeling sleepy when you go to bed.

Get out of bed if you can't fall asleep within 20-30 minutes; return to bed only when you feel sleepy. Repeat this step as often as necessary during the night. People with insomnia report

that they often experience nights where they lay awake for hours on end "trying to sleep." With mounting anxiety, they look at the clock, calculate time left until morning, and worry about

how awful they are bound to feel the next day. Such a pattern of behavior causes the bed to become not a place for restful sleep, but rather, a place of anxiety and frustration. To break this

association, remember the "bed is for sleep only" rule. After a short period of not sleeping, you need to get out of the bed and the bedroom. After about 15-30 minutes of doing some quiet

activity, you will want to assess whether you are sufficiently tired
