If it's a regular problem, it's best to consult a good doctor. I go to Apollo for my checkups, and they always say proper sleep is vital. Don't self-medicate or just try random remedies, get professional advice to rule out any underlying issues.
First, no phone or screens before bed, at least one hour. Then, try a warm shower, it really helps relax the body. If still no sleep, just get up, do something quiet like folding laundry or drinking water, then try again. Don't force it too much.
A consistent sleep schedule is key, even on weekends. Your body clock needs regularity. If insomnia is chronic, it's definitely advisable to see a GP or a sleep specialist. They can help identify causes and suggest appropriate interventions.
