Try downloading the CBT-I coach app (purple background with a moon). It is a great resource for insomnia.

Yes, insomnia can go away without medications in many cases. Non-medication treatments like the following can be highly effective:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) – a structured program that helps change thoughts and behaviors related to sleep.
Improved sleep hygiene – establishing a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and heavy meals before bed, and reducing screen time.
Relaxation techniques – such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation.
Lifestyle changes – managing stress, exercising regularly, and limiting naps during the day.
Many people successfully overcome insomnia using these strategies, but it's always best to consult a healthcare professional to find the most appropriate approach for your situation.
