If the insomnia is caused by stress, look out for the way in daily life to make some chances.
I understand that if you try to put hard yourself to sleep because you know you have insomnia, it will make thing worst. When your stress and pressure caused by the worry of not able to fall asleep, it actually leave you more weary, irritable and more awake. As a result, the first priority is to kick off the stress in your head.
By chance I have just finish my blog today talking about Fight Against Stress to Improve Your Sleep and TIPS to Reduce Stress, if if you are interest you can talk a look.

Hi.
It has been about 3 months now since i have been having trouble sleeping. I tend to feel tired during the day accompanied by slight headaches either during the day or early evenings and short tempered too. At night even when i feel tired i fail to sleep. If anything the earliest i will sleep will be 2hrs 30mins later. I am not under any kind of stress or imbalance in my life. What cheats me is the fact that sometimes it kind of backs up and i have a normall sleeping patterns then it shows up again. Could it be that i have insomnia, if so how serious could it be and do i need medical attention.?
