Before we look at ways to stop insomnia, let's first look at the problems insomnia can cause. When you don't get enough sleep, you can feel sluggish, depressed or irritable. You may also suffer from a lack of concentration. There are many causes of insomnia, such as too much stress, too much caffeine, being depressed, changing your work shifts, and pain if you have some sort of health condition, such as arthritis.

Most adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night (or day, if you are a shift worker). If you aren't feeling tired when you're at work or school, you are getting enough sleep.

You may be asking, will seeing a doctor stop insomnia? First off, your doctor will ask you a lot of questions, such as what time do you go to bed, do you take medicine, and do you consume caffeine and alcohol. You may also be asked if you smoke cigarettes. In addition, your doctor may ask how long you have suffered from insomnia, if you're suffering from pain, and if you snore while you are asleep. You may also be asked questions about your personal life, and whether it's causing you stress that keeps you awake.

A common thing many people to do try and stop insomnia is taking sleeping pills. This is not recommended. The relief they provide is only temporary, and the insomnia will quickly appear. You should only use sleeping pills on an occasional basis. Also, if you have certain health problems, sleeping pills can be unsafe. Consult your doctor before using sleeping pills.

Here are a few ways to stop insomnia:

* Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends

* Do the same thing every night before going to sleep

* Only use your bedroom for sleeping or having sex

* Get rid of light and noise in the bedroom
