Suggest Remedy For Sleeplessness

Hi. I am 35. I have a beautifull wife 2 beautifull daughters 6 and 9. I drink a bottle of wine a night. Every night. That is one problem. I also have a very seriose sleeping problem which may be a result of my drinking. But I have been taking phernergan tablets now every night. I drink at least one bottle of wine and a half and have 2- sometimes 3 phenegan tablets. This helps me sleep. But I know that it will kill me in the long run. How can I get myself off this the right way
Thank you and regards

stop the drug phenegan.
stop taking alcohol before going sleep.
first try to maintain the sleep hygiene y the following activities..
1] use bed only for sleep and sex. no other activities like watching tv reading etc.
2] do not take hot beverages and caffeine containing drink like coffee and tea before going to sleep.
3] go to bed only when you feel sleepy.
4] do light dinner two hours before going to the bed.
5] do some light exercise as slight tiredness good for sound sleep. but avoid heavy strenuous exercises as it causes difficulty in sleep.
6] try to maintain the time table. go to bed same time you used to go.
7] use flat bed avoid too much cushion as it decreases quality sleep. but avoid so much hard bed.
above measures will help you a lot to get a sound sleep.
if you have still problem than you can take single dose of mitrazepam before going to bed. it will help you a lot.
