I earnestly request you to learn yoga and practise it religiously. It acts on your body , mind and soul. I have heard of many who got rid of insomnia through yoga. My yoga teacher, who teaches yoga in the style of Bihar School of Yoga has narrated many of his experience in dealing with persons having sleep disorder. One such person is one who had never slept for years so much so that he used to be jealous of his own family members who have been having their sleep, as a matter of routine. Even this person, after he started learning yoga, started getting sleep. It is no magic. Yoga is a science. Please do it seriously.

Actually it is more of management or control, in the case of OCD, it is a personality disorder, therefore as they previously said cognitive behavioral therapy, in OCD there is Obsessions or strong disturbing thoughts about something and compulsions which are the actions taken to relieve extreme anxiety brought about by the impulsive thoughts. Therefore people with OCD tend to perform rituals or have certain beliefs like washing the hands all over again because of fear of germs. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very advantageous. YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST NEVER FORCE YOURSELF TO STOP YOUR RITUALS. THESE RITUALS TAKE TIME TO CONTROL, ABRUPTLY STOPPING IT WOULD ONLY CAUSE EXTREME ANXIETY, rituals can be allotted a certain amount of time each day until little by little the time is reduced until the ritual theoretically stops. In order to achieve this, you must also plan your day or activities, schedule activities like every morning try to jog or walk around, ride a stationary bike, or even engage in one's favored means of entertainment like television, a drug called Clomipramine and many other drugs can be used to help manage some symptoms. In bipolar disorders, the objective here is also management. When during manic episodes, safety of the patient and of others is a primary objective, second is nutritional needs because patients do not have time to eat properly, a good way is FINGER FOODS OR FOODS ON THE GO during manic episodes. While in episodes of depression, safety again due to suicidal intentions. LITHIUM is one of the FAMOUS drugs used to treat bipolar disorders STILL TRY TO FIND A GOOD PSYCHIATRIST to help you

Here are some things you can do to help yourself fall asleep:
Ask a physician or physical therapist about their recommendations (e.g. what position, types of pillows, use of hand splints, etc.)
Eliminate caffeine from your diet (coffee, tea, soft drinks), especially after noon. Decaffeinated drinks are fine. If you use a lot of caffeine, decrease it over a week or two to avoid headaches.
If possible, increase your level of activity to help you get tired. This may be difficult if you have an illness or injury. Ask your physician about what is safe for you to do.
Decide what time you would like to go to sleep, and when you would like to get up. This will be the goal that we aim for.
Even if you are tired, avoid naps. Napping will usually just make it more difficult to fall asleep in the evening. Also, avoid spending time in bed when you are not sleeping. Try to reserve being in bed for sleeping and intimacy.
Earlier in the evening, before you go to bed, make a list of things you will need to do tomorrow or in the near future. Once you have made the list, put it away and focus on relaxing. You can start working on your list again tomorrow, and you will have more energy to tackle your list if you get some sleep.
Get into a calming bedtime routine that you start 30-60 minutes before your desired bedtime. Find some activities that you find calming, and that take your mind off of things that are bothering you. This could include using a relaxation CD, reading, taking a hot bath, having a warm drink (such as decaf tea or milk), or listening to music. Avoid using alcohol to feel drowsy — it tends to contribute to waking up in the middle of the night.
Go to bed when you get drowsy. You may want to continue your relaxation exercises on your CD. Many people find the breathing techniques to be the most helpful ones. If you fall asleep, great!
If you have not fallen asleep after 20 minutes or so, don’t allow yourself to lay in bed and get frustrated. Get up, and repeat #6 until you feel drowsy. Starting a movie is often not helpful — you may be tempted to stay up to see the end of it! In contrast, reading will often make your eyes feel heavy.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, repeat #6-8.
Whether you sleep well or not, get up at the desired time each day. Don’t sleep in, even if you slept poorly. You will probably feel very tired the next day, but that will make it easier to fall asleep the next night. In contrast, sleeping in will only make it more difficult to fall asleep in the future.
As you continue with this routine, it will encourage your body to get in to a more normal rhythm of sleeping and being awake.

I have tried a sleeping pill called No Doz and it really worked. But the best I have found is to find a way to relax your mind and then your body just takes over with its tiredness. Reading something interesting but not too involved usually does it for me. Or I listen to music and tend to drift off.

Meditation (Dhayan) & Pranayam (Breath Excercise) has been strongly advocated as means of Sound sleep ,try to go into the root cause of sleeplessnesss probably your mind is very sensitive & needs calming ,your bed is too soft or otherwise,something distracts at the time of sleep,you can try having a mango followed by warm milk with a bit of honey or sugar in it.avoid medication they are addictive in nature.

Although this should not be a long term solution. I have found that taking tables called One a Night which are sold in boots and other chemist does the job. If your not looking for medicines try reading or having a night Cap (shot of whisky).

Sleeping pills are temporary remedy.. Improper sleeping habits will disturb your body metabolism... that's why you are getting side effects....you r keeping your mind too busy rather than your body, either reverse it or try to relax your mind before going to bed... practise to go to bed in same time daily, so it will become a routine and you will get regular sleeping habits... never disturb your mind with huge and heavy thoughts when you go to bed....
