WAY TO OVERCOME INSOMNIA

Relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, and guided imagery may be especially helpful in preparing the body to sleep. Exercise, done early in the day, can also be helpful in reducing stress and promoting deeper sleep.

Behavioral therapies alone may not be enough. Treating insomnia with medication is the most common treatment for these sleep problems, particularly once a combination of behavioral approaches has been tried. Sleep medications for the treatment of insomnia are called hypnotics

Practicing good sleep hygiene may improve the quality of your sleep.

Use the bed and bedroom for sleep and sex only

Establish a regular bedtime routine and a regular sleep-wake schedule

Do not eat or drink too much close to bedtime

Create a sleep-promoting environment that is dark, cool and comfortable

Avoid disturbing noises – consider a bedside fan or white-noise machine to block out disturbing sounds

Consume less or no caffeine, particularly late in the day

Avoid alcohol and nicotine, especially close to bedtime

Exercise, but not within three hours before bedtime

Avoid naps, particularly in the late afternoon or evening

Keep a sleep diary to identify your sleep habits and patterns that you can share with your doctor
