insomnia

I have read some articles regarding this insomnia thing and they advised the readers to have early sleeping habits like going to bed at 9pm and trying to wake up at 8am. From this schedule the person suffering insomnia will adopt it and will eventually decreased the hard time in sleeping.

I've never suffered from this horrible problem, so I really wouldn't know how to cure it, but can't you just take some sleeping pills and drift off into an assissted sleep? I've always wondered why insomniacs just don't do this, is there a reason behind not being able to take sleeping pills with insomnia or something? If not just try the sleeping pills
