Hello,

Initially, you should practice sleep hygiene and later med can be given for the same. Sleep as long as necessary to feel rested (usually seven to eight hours for adults) and then get out of bed. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, particularly a regular wake-up time in the morning and try not to force sleep.

Avoid caffeinated beverages after lunch especially during evening hours. Avoid alcohol near bedtime (example, late afternoon and evening). Also, avoid smoking or other nicotine intake, particularly during the evening.

Adjust the bedroom environment as needed to decrease stimuli (example, reduce ambient light, turn off the television or radio). Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones, and eBooks) before bedtime.

Resolve concerns or worries before bedtime. Exercise regularly for at least 20 minutes, preferably more than four to five hours prior to bedtime. Avoid daytime naps, especially if they are longer than 20 to 30 minutes or occur late in the day.

If this is not helpful, then you can get prescribed tablet Zolfresh bedtime as needed basis. You can also have Lonazep drug as prescribed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
