1. There's insomnia caused by external factors - which can often be treated using little tips such as taking a bath, exercising regularly, having the correct type of mattress, being in a comfortable temperature, ensuring there is no light. 2. Then there's insomnia caused by brain chemical deficiencies - which can only be treated with medication.

I personally think suppressing your yawns helps tremendously, when you yawn it's basically your body telling you you need more oxygen to make your heart go out of sleep mode, not yawning will keep your heart from speeding up its beating. Melatonin is also great, low risk medicine since melatonin is something that is naturally produced by your body.

I have dealt insomnia for almost 6 months. So I will answer it based on what worked for me. These are some common things, I will list it here - Listening to melody/your favorite playlist before you go to sleep. Avoiding watching screen TV, mobile, pc/laptop. Eating dinner properly less spicy and avoiding tangy and difficult to digest food items. Its going to be MOST IMPORTANT - You have to be tired because I used to do nothing during the day so at night, I couldn't sleep until morning...only around 5 am. Taking up physical exercises like walking, cycling, helped. You might try anything that helps you. These are all based on my experience. Hope this helps you.

Time is what helped me. I also eventually learned not to stress so much when I wasn’t sleeping, but that took therapy, appropriate medications, and feeling like I could control my life and schedule to get there. I also found some helpful apps. Sometimes finding someone to talk to is helpful because you can get your mind off of sleep—obsessing over sleep leads to less sleep! Sometimes taking a shower and redoing your bedtime routine helps. If you live in a dorm or in a city, looking out your window and seeing everyone else who has their lights on can remind you that you are not the only one who is awake, and that can help. Basically, stop focusing on going back to sleep and try to alleviate your anxiety x
