You toss, you turn, you get up for a while (maybe play on your computer), but you just can't get to sleep and if by chance you do get to sleep, an hour or so later you are awake again! What is going on? You know you're tired, you worked 10 hours that day, and were falling asleep in your chair. But as soon as you get into bed, bam, right awake again.
There are actually three types of insomnia, the first is when you have problems going to sleep when you go to bed, second is when you can fall asleep but then you wake up too early, and third is when you wake up several times during the night.
Here are a few simple things that you can do to help cure insomnia:
One (1) hour before sleeping...
1. Turn off the Lights.

2. Turn off the Television.

3. Turn off your Computer or Laptop.

4. Leave your Mobile Phone in the other room.

Your bedroom should be dark and quiet to welcome sleep. Too much stimuli can cause you to either stay awake or wake up frequently through the night. Some people feel the need to work through the night and keep their laptop in bed with them. This is not the way to cure insomnia. Use your bedroom for sleep or sex to help fight insomnia.
These are simple things that we take for granted. It may take some discipline, but it’s not impossible. Try it for 3 consecutive days and observe if there are changes in your sleeping habits.
To add, I’ve noticed that yellow light is just ok. It doesn’t keep me awake. Notice that you can still get sleepy with candle light.
