Hi,
Are you stressed up due to some thing ?
Well even if you are loosing sleep is no solution to it and you should have a good sleep for your self. Sleeping pills are the last thing once should try cause if you are dependent over them then it is very difficult to have a good sleep.
try out some simple steps
1) Have a proper schedule(to get up and to go to bed)even if you don't sleep then also you should go to bed at a fixed time this will help you fixing you down to a routine for which you may also use diary to help you if you want(you should have at least 7-8 hours in your routine for sleep)
2)Keep you bed clean
3)Your room should be clean, dark,cool envoirment should be maintained and no noise should be there,to help you better
4)You can read a book when you are entering your bed or after you have entered your bed
5)Avoid caffeine or any other chemicals,which cause sleep deprivation specially in night
6)You may have a little early dinner and have plenty of water through out your day.
7)You should keep you phones away and it is better if you switch off them in night and try to have a good sleep
8)You may also do early morning yoga or aerobic excercise to reduce stress and help you otherwise also.
9)If there is some kind of problem emotional,financial or some other then that should be tried and solved.(don't let that problem supervene your life)
10)You may have a warm water bath,just before you go to bed.
11)Don't just keep watching your clock in night,this adds stress
And the last thing to be done is to add a sleeping pill,if you take sleeping pills like this they will stop working,however yor are taking the right drug so kindly follow the above advices and try to have a sleep without the help of a drug.(these steps should be helpful if you follow them)
