Insomnia has been described as the inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep for extended periods of time.

One popular treatment for insomnia involves taking prescription medication, such as Ambien. Unfortunately, side effects can include, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, upset stomach, and more.

Rather than taking medication, you may find that making certain lifestyle changes can help to relieve insomnia and make it easier to fall asleep…

* Don’t use caffeine, tobacco, and other stimulants too close to bedtime.

* Certain medications can disrupt sleep (for example, some cold and allergy medicines).

* Try to adopt good bedtime habits that make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Follow a routine that helps you wind down and relax before bed. For example, read a book, listen to soothing music, or take a hot bath.

* Try to schedule your daily exercise at least 5 to 6 hours before going to bed. Don’t eat heavy meals or drink a lot before bedtime.

* Make your bedroom sleep-friendly. Avoid bright lighting while winding down. Try to limit possible distractions, such as a TV, computer, or pet. Make sure the temperature of your bedroom is cool and comfortable. Your bedroom also should be dark and quiet.

* Go to sleep around the same time each night and wake up around the same time each morning, even on weekends. If you can, avoid night shifts, alternating schedules, or other things that may disrupt your sleep schedule.
