What are some strategies for managing symptoms of insomnia without medication?

Establish a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. Create a relaxing bedtime routine to signal to your body that it's time to sleep, such as taking a warm bath or practicing relaxation techniques. Limit exposure to screens and stimulating activities before bed, and ensure your sleep environment is comfortable and conducive to rest.

I do not have any issues with sleep but I have a friend who does have this issue. He manages insomnia without medication by establishing a consistent bedtime routine, including relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Avoiding caffeine and electronic devices before bed helps create a conducive sleep environment. Regular exercise during the day promotes better sleep quality, while limiting naps and ensuring a comfortable sleep environment minimize disruptions throughout the night.
