I'm having trouble sleeping. What are some ways to overcome insomnia?

1. Try setting a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day.
2. Reduce or eliminate caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other stimulants from your diet.
3. Exercise regularly during the day but avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime.
4. Establish a relaxing nighttime routine such as taking a warm bath or reading a book before you go to bed.
5. Make sure your bedroom is dark and cool and try using an eye mask if necessary.
6. If you can't fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and do something calming until you feel sleepy again.
