What Can You Do if You Suffer From Insomnia?
When it comes to falling asleep and having a restful night’s sleep, your environment is the key factor. A bad mattress or pillow, too much light, a chilly or hot bedroom, and noise can all cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. Try to sleep in a room that is dark, quiet, and cool.
Additionally, it’s encouraged not to use your phone, tablet, or even watch TV just before bed. All of these things might overstimulate you, which makes it more difficult to fall asleep.
The most important thing is to follow a sleeping schedule. Try to maintain a consistent sleep and wake-up routine. Although it can be a demanding process and it may take your body a few weeks to adjust, doing this is the greatest thing you can do for a more restful night’s sleep.

I am 76 years old. I had triple by-pass surgery in July of 2019 in which my esophagus was damaged when they had to inject a breathing tube since my lungs were being by-passed. Then I have had three major disabling strokes. I seemed to be recovering and I had another stroke that has made me re-dependent on my walker. The insomnia was evident while I was in the hospital so they gave me narcotic level prescription. Eventually I stopped that and switched to a variety of OTC supplements especially Melatonin.
