Sleep is affected by certain behaviors. They include Drinking caffeine or other stimulant drinks (typically near bedtime, but even in the afternoon for people who are particularly sensitive) Exercise or excitement (eg, a thrilling TV show) late in the evening An irregular sleep-wake schedule People who compensate for lost sleep by sleeping late or by napping during the day, affects their night sleep. Having a good sleep hygiene is key. 1. Keep Regular sleep/wake schedule - Bedtime and particularly wake-up time should be the same each day, including weekends. Do not spend excessive time in bed. 2. Make Appropriate use of the bed Limiting time in bed improves sleep continuity. If you are unable to fall sleep within 20 min, you should get out of bed and return when sleepy. The bed should not be used for activities other than sleep or sex (eg, not for reading, eating, watching television, or paying bills). 3. Avoid daytime naps Daytime naps may worsen sleep issue. 4. Keep Regular routine before bedtime A pattern of activities—brushing teeth, washing, setting the alarm clock—can set the mood for sleep. Bright lights should be avoided before bedtime and when you wake up at night for some reason. 5. Maintain comfortable Sleep environment The bedroom should be dark, quiet, and reasonably cool; it should be used only for sleep and sexual activity. Heavy curtains or a sleep mask can eliminate light, and earplugs or fans can help eliminate disturbing noise. 6. Do Regular exercise Exercise promotes sleep and reduces stress. It is better to exercise in the first half of the day. 7. Relaxation Stress and worry affects sleep. Reading or taking a warm bath before bedtime can help relax. 8. Avoid stimulants Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, smoking, eating caffeinated foods (eg, chocolate), especially near bedtime—should be avoided.

Just ignore. When drowsy sleep. When not getting sleep , don't sleep. Do what gives pleasure to you. No need for any medicine or consultation. Enjoy life!
