If you have short-term insomnia, you may just need good sleep habits and self-care, such as:
- Avoid naps during the day.
- Don't hang out in bed; save it for sleep.
- Go to bed at the same time every night.
- Exercise.
- Make your bedroom comfortable. Keep it dark, quiet, and not too cold or warm.
- Use a sleeping mask to block light or use earplugs or a fan to block noise.
- Relax before bedtime by reading, listening to calming music, bathing, or doing another relaxing activity.
- Don’t eat a heavy meal late in the day.
