What to do to get rid of sleep issues in a person with chronic insomnia?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can appreciate that not being able to sleep can be a frustrating experience for you. However, as you rightly guessed, there are different possible reasons (physical and mental health causes) that can affect your ability to sleep. You said that you could fall asleep, but you do not want to sleep. Do you recognize any increase in your anxiety levels in the evening or at bedtime? Asthma symptoms can get worse at night. Is your asthma well controlled? Kindly answer a few of my questions for better understanding, are your parents or family aware of this problem? Have you discussed it with your physician? You need to discuss this with your parents and consult your physician to evaluate the probable causes affecting your sleep.

Meanwhile, I suggest you to follow these self-help interventions that will help to alleviate your anxiety and hopefully get you better sleep. Try practicing progressive muscle relaxation exercises daily in the evening before bedtime. In addition, you can search on the internet for guidance videos. Practice deep breathing exercises daily. Try changing your bedroom. See whether sleeping alone or sharing a room with a sibling or mother is helping you to sleep better. Avoid using electronic devices or TV (television) an hour before the planned bedtime.

I hope this helps you.
