Insomnia could be caused by a wide variety of issues. First and foremost, I would highly recommend consulting a doctor to ensure any medications you're taking do not exhibit trouble sleeping as a side-effect.
To tackle the issue, I would highly recommend seeking our guide (Which, is also used in professional settings) located here: https://www.7cups.com/sleeping-well/ The reason I reference this is because insomnia could be caused by many different issues including, but not limited to: stress, anxiety, medical conditions, depression, poor sleep habits, scheduling (work, school, exercising timing, etc), enviornment changes, substance abuse or substance intake (caffeine, drugs, alcohol), eating habits, and so on and so forth. The guide provided helps you identify some of these possible issues and allows you to objectively (partially) view all of these variables. I should note, however, no one would be more qualified than your doctor or professional.
Insomnia is a serious issue because sleep is so important to the body and psych. It can be as simple as shutting your television and electronics to as severe as a symptom of something more serious. The risk factors are also serious, leading to lower performance in your school or professional career, obesity, irritability, "Increased risk and severity of long-term diseases or conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes," and many other issues.
However, if you're reading this then the good part is you're taking a proactive approach in reaching out. That, in itself, is a solid first step. :)

Insomnia can be hard and exhausting to deal with. Trying to relax before going to bed, not watching TV, drinking some warm milk and taking a hot relaxing bath before going to bed are some things you can do to try to sleep at night.

I like to get out of bed and drink some chamomille tea. I try to stay away from my bed until I feel sleep so I don't associate the bed with tossing and turning and only a good night's sleep. Progressive relaxation also helps!

It depends on what is causing your insomnia. In most cases, it's anxiety and so learning to cope with your anxiety is the first step to helping with your insomnia. There are many exercises and techniques out there to help with this, and getting to the bottom of why this anxiety exists is also important.

The best way to get over insomnia is to start by asking yourself why you can't sleep. When I was dealing with insomnia I was stressed out during the evenings because I was scared for what would happen the day after. When I discovered that was the reason I couldn't sleep, I could figure out a way to feel less stress.
