I cannot say I do not have a sleep problem. I use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, but falling asleep has never been a big issue for me; although I have had a few notes when I couldn't sleep. Sleep issues may be a part of aging. This article offers some good advice. For one, it is not helpful to sit in bed stewing about it if you can't get to sleep. Better to get up and do something boring until you feel drowsy. Some of the other ideas are pretty self explanatory, but still important. No caffeine and alcohol before bed, try not to exercise just before going to bed, try relaxation and skip naps.
