"8 Counterintuitive Things That Helped Me Fix My Chronic Insomnia"
This is pretty much the same advice and treatment my sleep doctor and CBT sleep therapist told me to follow. I didn't find it counterintuitive but this isn't the point. Two other things: if you wake up and have trouble falling back asleep (so different kind of insomnia), follow the same advice. Get up, get out of your bed, do something relaxing and see if you feel sleepy again. And, from personal experience, when nothing works and you're exhausted, sleep when you can and forget about any schedule. You can't do this if you're mentally and physically at level zero and you don't get any quality sleep at all.
