Hello
This problem of insomnia could be due to stress.
You should follow sleep hygiene habits:
Avoid daytime naps.
Avoid fatty, heavy meal in dinner.
Take warm milk and have a warm water bath at bedtime.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Associate your bed with sleep only. Donot keep lying on bed idly for watching tv, reading etc.
Establish a regular bedtime routine.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
