To help with insomnia, try the following:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) – a structured approach to change sleep habits and thoughts.
Sleep hygiene – establish a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and create a calming bedtime routine.
Relaxation techniques – deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation can help calm your mind.
Exercise – regular physical activity, but not too close to bedtime, can improve sleep.
Sleep aids – short-term use of medications like melatonin or prescribed sleep medications may be helpful (consult with a doctor).
If insomnia persists, consider seeing a healthcare professional for personalized treatment.

acupuncture, herbs, drugs, all sorts of things. Acupuncture treats the underlying cause(s).
Insomnia can be a complex issue with various potential causes, including stress, anxiety, lifestyle factors, and underlying health conditions. While acupuncture is one of the alternative therapies that some people find beneficial for improving sleep, it's important to approach insomnia with a holistic perspective. Here are some ways in which acupuncture and other strategies may help with insomnia:
Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Acupuncture is thought to promote relaxation and reduce stress by influencing the nervous system. Some people report improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia symptoms after acupuncture sessions.

Insomnia can be relieved by massage, acupuncture and sometimes herbs. These modalities, often in combination, can be very effective in treating insomnia gradually. I suggest you try them.
acupuncture and herbals, and nutritional support
Acupuncture and herbal formulas can be very effective for insomnia. Turn off lights at bedtime and don't read any electronics 1/2 an hour before bed. It stimulates the brain.
You can try acupuncture.
