If you’re reading this at 2 A.M., you’re probably desperate for some help handling your insomnia. Don't worry; many people wrestle with insomnia, and you can find ways to overcome it. Try the following suggestions as you seek solutions:

Exercise every day (but not right before bed). Try to get in some form of cardio exercise each day; the hormones you’ll release and the stress relief will combat your insomnia.

Make a conscious effort to put aside worries from the day. If you have a high stress job or life situation, you may want to try releasing your stress each night before you go to bed. Try walking through your day mentally, writing a letter, keeping a journal, talking about it, or meditating about whatever stresses you out.

Establish a bedtime routine. After you take your time to scrub and change, choose a relaxing activity. Instead of watching television or surfing the web (both of which will stimulate your brain and keep you up), try reading, meditating, or stretching. Commit to the same bedtime routine so your body and mind both recognize the cues that it's time to go to sleep.

Insomniacs should try to use the bedroom for sleeping only. Make use of other rooms of the house until you're ready to snooze each night.

Watch the temperature of your room. You’ll sleep better if the temps are cool and you’re snuggled up under covers.

Look around for lights that may be keeping you up. The led lights in your room may be what is preventing you from sleeping well. Throw a towel over them for a quick fix.

Low lighting is for more than romance - it's also good for sleep. Use low wattage bulbs and put up black out shades if outside lights are keeping you up.

Try these tips to handle your insomnia. Sleep well!
