INSOMNIA
It is estimated that insomnia affects about one-third of the adult population worldwide, and for most of us, the quality of our sleep will decrease at some point in our lives. The pressures of everyday life, stress at work, money worries or illness within the family are all potential causes of sleepless nights. While different types of insomnia have different causes, most people can find relief through the following, regardless of the source of their sleeplessness.

Establish a consistent bedtime routine, and try to go to bed at the same time every night.
Get plenty of exercise during the day. You may not feel like it, but the more energy you expend during the day, the sleepier you will feel at bedtime.
Reduce or eliminate your intake of caffeine, stimulants and alcohol. Even when these are consumed early in the day, they can affect your sleep pattern.
Avoid large meals late in the evening.
Learn and practice a relaxation technique regularly. Breathingexercises, meditation and yoga are good examples.
Don't obsess about not sleeping. Worrying about not getting to sleep can produce a vicious circle. Instead, remind yourself that while sleeplessness is troublesome, it isn't life-threatening.
