How to make yourself go to sleep?

I've been struggling with insomnia lately, and it takes me hours to fall asleep every night. Are there any techniques or tricks to make myself go to sleep faster?

At the hospital where I get my checkups, the sleep specialist told me to maintain a strict bedtime routine. If you are struggling with chronic insomnia, please ask your doctor clearly for safe options instead of self-medicating.

Try keeping your room completely dark and avoiding screens for an hour before bed. It really helps.

I used to struggle with sleep a lot because of late-night screen time. Honestly, keeping my phone in another room and reading a book for 15 minutes is the only thing that actually worked for me.

Sone se pehle thoda garm doodh pi kar dekho, kafi relief milta hai, haan. Aur mobile toh bilkul side me rakh diya karo na, uski light se neend bhag jaati hai.

Improving sleep hygiene by cutting off caffeine after 4 PM and keeping the room cool can make a significant difference. If your sleeplessness persists for weeks, seeking a doctor's advice is the most sensible way forward.
