Article: Try to find what is preventing you from falling asleep and, if possible, eliminate it. You may need to fix other problems and issues first in order to treat your insomnia. For example: If anxiety or depression are keeping you awake at night, find what is making you feel anxious or depressed and try to manage that. This might involve speaking with your doctor and taking medication for anxiety or depression. Your roommate might like to read or work late into the night, and the light he or she uses is keeping you awake. If your roommate is unable or refuses to work in another room, purchase a sleeping mask instead. Try to perform the same activities every night before your bedtime. This means going to bed at the same time every evening and waking up at the same time every morning. You can also incorporate some relaxing activities into your bedtime routine, such as reading or listening to soft music. In this way, your mind will start associating such activities with bedtime and sleep. This means that the temperature is to your liking, and that the lighting is dark enough for you to fall asleep. If your room is too warm, try to cool it down by opening a window, using fewer blankets, or turning a fan or air conditioning. If your room is too cold, try to wear warmer clothing to sleep or using more blankets. If you live in an area that is very bright at night, even if you turn off the lights, invest in a sleeping mask that covers your eyes. Use your bedroom only for sleeping and rest. This might involve removing distractions, such as computers and televisions, to ensure that you do not use them instead of sleeping. It might also mean that you have to complete your homework (or other work) in another room. If you live in a studio apartment where everything is in a single room, or if it is not possible to work elsewhere, then do all of your work at your desk, in a library, or some other location. Do not work in your bed, as your subconscious will begin to associate your bed with working instead of sleeping.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find the cause or source of your insomnia. Establish a nightly routine. Make sure your bedroom is comfortable before going to sleep. Keep your bedroom as your bedroom and nothing else.
Article: Once you've recognized the root of your jealousy and you've come up with a solution, talk to your best friend. For example, you might tell your best friend that you are jealous of her because she has the haircut that you want and ask her if she would be okay with you getting the same haircut. You might even ask her if she could recommend her salon to you. Turn this into a bonding moment that could strengthen your friendship. Acknowledge that your feelings are your own and that you are in control of them. Instead of saying, "Your hair makes me so jealous!" try, "I feel jealous of your hair. You've got a great cut." In this way, you're using "I" statements, rather than "you" statements to talk about your jealousy. Also own where your jealousy could be coming from, such as a history of being bullied, an abusive relationship, etc. Sometimes just talking to your best friend can solve the issue. Be honest about the way that you feel and be sure that you don't project your feelings onto them. Use "I statements: "I feel this way about" Make sure that your communication is two way, meaning that you listen closely to your best friend's response to your declarations of jealousy. Try to work to overcome your jealousy by talking about it. Encourage your friend to share her feelings with you, too. If you are still unable to abate your jealousy even after working on yourself, identifying the root of your jealousy, and talking to your friend about it, then it is time to remind yourself of the importance of your friendship. Often, that will be enough to ease your feelings of jealousy. What makes you best friends in the first place? Think about your favorite memories together. Understand that your jealousy could destroy your friendship if you don't put it in check. Ask yourself which is more important to you: your friendship or your jealousy. Make sure that you are not feeling jealous because your friend is hypercritical or hard on you and makes you feel inferior to them. If this is the case, then this may not be a good friendship.

Own your jealousy. Practice open communication. Return to the reason you are friends.
