Insomnia has historically been treated through medications like Ambien and Lunesta. Often thought of as the "first line of defense," these insomnia medications really only address the symptoms of insomnia, not the root cause.
Today, many doctors recommend cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBT-I. Join Faith as she explains why sleep medication is no longer a doctor's initial treatment recommendation, and why experts have found CBT-I so effective.

It is always important to identify the cause, rather than alliviating the symptoms :)

Medication, and exercise are the only things that work for me. I tried CBTI, but it didn't work for me. But, I've heard of it working for others.

It used to take me 1.5-2 hours to fall asleep every night, and I usually woke up twice a night. Sleep restriction therapy and stimulus control was like magic for my sleep onset and maintenance problems, precisely because it reestablished that connection between the bed and sleep - whereas previously, I never left the bed if I couldn't sleep, and sometimes I used my phone in bed too. So everything got muddled up. Since the therapy, it takes me less than ten minutes to sleep once I go to bed, and I sleep through the night.

FYI, these tips are mostly, except CBT, worthless for Chronic Insomnia. Think years upon years of not sleeping a WINK the entire night, missing work 20-30 times a year because you are too exhausted to work another day sleepless, or you CRASH hard after 4-6 days with ZERO or less than 2 hours a night. Most of y'all, thankfully, have not even met the real insomnia monster. It eats entire lives.

Insomnia suddenly hit me before 4 years, most properly because of antidepressant that I start taking after being prescribed to. only way to feel sleepy or to fall a sleep at night is sleep medications. I've tried normal CBT but it didn't help.

you mention that if you don't fall asleep, get up and do something and wait until you feel sleepy. but in my case i don't feel sleepy through the nite until next morning. thats the problem with me

Wow I can relate a lot here - I often end up staying awake through 5-6 am the following day. Setting an alarm for 9-10 am to get about 3-4 hours of sleep and then staying awake until bedtime can help reset your sleep schedule. Hope you're able to sleep well soon!

There are many home remedies that you could try, without spending much. Chamomile tea for example is very affordable, so drink a strong cup before bedtime. Exercise daily preferably in the morning, and avoid big meals at night. Hope this helps!

One possibility that you may wake up during the night may be the fact that your bowels, especially the large intestine, will be overcrowded with waste and often this one will be found as very unpleasant. In this case it will be the best to take 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil - 1 to 2 hours later the bowel movement will begin and you will be able to continue your sleep.
