:thanks:
Meditation before bed (every day)
can overcome insomnia.
Don't often think about boy/gurl,
work or other things.

Sleeping pills not a solutions.
Mindfulness is the most appropriate.

i suggest camomile tea or green tea. camomile tea is very strong, drink only one cup of it a day, before sleep. it makes a good sleep.

i guess you may overthink. try to make meditation before sleeping.

I have been suffering from insomnia for a long time and have no idea how to deal with it. I have tried so many things. Improving the quality of sleep is one of the most important things for your emotional health, mental health, and overall health.

For severe insomnia, sometimes a single strategy won't be sufficient to fix it. Instead one should combine many different ones to make it more effective, like: remove stress from work, stay away from junk food, eat healthy nutritious meals, maintain regular daily outdoor exercise and meditation sessions, etc..
