Unfortunately, insomnia can be from a wide range of causes, so it's difficult to figure out how to treat it. Acupuncture has been found to be an effective way to treat insomnia.
Insomnia can be caused from: stress, work, sleep patterns, eating to soon before bedtime, consuming alcohol or smoking or some drugs, some medications, noises, medical conditions, pain, sleep related disorders, mental health disorders, depression, travel, and sometimes sleep cycle brain waves just dont function well, allergies, and temperature. An evaluation by your doctor would help determine the cause and work with you for finding your restful sleep, sometimes a sleep clinic evaluation can be helpful.

A wide variety of things can cause insomnia - probably too many to list here.

For most people the root of the issue is probably going to boil down to some combination of caffeine, stress, lifestyle, and sleep hygiene (consistent bed/wake times, no TV/computer/tablet/phone prior to bed, no food prior to bed, etc.)
