Home Treatments For Insomnia

1.  Behavior therapies or cognitive behavioral therapy
If insomnia is due to stress, depression or anxiety, this therapy will help you control your negative thoughts or worries which are preventing you from falling asleep.
  2.  Relaxation techniques
Biofeedback, muscle relaxation and breathing exercises before bedtime can aid in maintaining healthy sleeping cycles as these techniques improve muscle tension, mood, heart rate and breathing.
3.  Sleep Restriction:
This therapy limits the time you spend in bed due to partial sleep deprivation and the next night you will feel more mentally exhausted. Your time in bed will increase gradually, once your sleep is improved.
  4.  Paradoxical intention:
Paradoxical intention means remaining passively awake. The purpose is to reduce the worries about going to sleep and instead of expecting to fall asleep, try to stay awake.
5.  Light box:
You need to push back your internal clock with the help of light if you sleep and then wake too early. You can use light through a medical-grade light box or go outside when there is natural light in the evenings.
6.  Natural sleep remedies 
Alternatives like acupuncture, yoga and meditation can help in treating your sleep disorder. There are also numerous herbs that can help you fall asleep. Read about them in this article on natural remedies for defeating insomnia.
  7.  Sleep Aid Products:
Certain devices and products (such as night masks, ear plugs) can also help in improving the quality of your sleep.
