Insomnia - Screening and Prevention - Screening and Prevention

To screen for insomnia, your doctor will ask how you are sleeping and ask about your risk factors.

Your doctor may talk to you about steps you can take to help you sleep better and prevent chronic insomnia.

• Adopt healthy sleep habits and a regular daytime schedule to help you maintain a regular sleep-wake cycle.
• Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol close to your bedtime, as these can make it more difficult for you to fall asleep.
