I have chronic insomnia; had it since I was very young, possibly all my life.
Some thing that help are:
- Don't eat anything 4 hours before going to bed, especially a lot. Maybe something light.
- Force yourself to get up Early, at a reasonable hours, so you're tired at a reasonable hour. Map it out by how many hours you're generally awake for and how many hours you generally sleep for.
- Don't do anything like exercising before bed. Maybe a walk, but not too a fast one.
- If you can't sleep, get out of bed and read a book. If you stay in your bed and not sleep, you're bed becoming associated with not sleeping, if you know what I mean.
- Think about what is bothering you (if anything) and write it down somewhere, before going to bed.
- Do some mindful breathing. A technique where you relax and focus on the present (such as your feet touching the floor).
I hope this helps.
