Answer to Question 2
There are numerous suggestions to avoid insomnia, the most common sleep problem.
Perhaps most importantly, adopt a regular sleep schedule and stick to it. However, even if it is bedtime, do not try to force sleep. If you are unable to sleep after going to bed, get up and do something. Do not toss and turn. It also helps to have a regular bedtime routine to help transition from wake time to sleep time. This can include providing proper cues for sleeping. Try not to engage in other activities while in your bed. Avoiding daytime naps is also important. They can disrupt your normal pattern of sleeping. Regular exercise can also help you get a good night's sleep. It is important
to avoid stimulants such as caffeine late in the day. Finally, practice rational self-talk instead of anxious self-talk.
