Insomnia is of course the inability to fall asleep normally. It can be caused by stress, pain, depression or it can be unexplained. If you can identify the reasons that you are unable to sleep, you should try to address those issues which are causing the insomnia.


Don't just medicate with sleep, anxiety, pain killers, etc. in order to get to sleep. Try to find the root cause of your insomnia. If you have not clue or you have trouble breathing at night while you are trying to sleep, you may need to get a sleep apnea test.

  • Don't eat heavy meals less than 2 hrs prior to sleeping
