In a case like this, the first step would be to work through these changes with support from important people in your life and, if needed, your physician or a specialist. Other triggers may be physical conditions, such as shortness of breath when lying down, or chronic pain from arthritis or intestinal disorders. Muffle noise with ear plugs or soundproof windows. Keep the room temperature around 65 degrees. Boredom can cause loss of sleep.
Poor sleepers spend more time watching TV and thinking about going to bed.
Good sleepers are mentally and physically active and spend more time working, talking and doing chores. Do not oversleep. Go to bed and get up at the same times every day. If you cannot fall asleep after 20 minutes, get up and do some light activity like watching television or reading until you feel drowsy. Increase your social contacts.
