2.     Zolpidem at bed time for 30 days
3.     Start workout in gym at least half an hour in a day for 5 days in a week. Exercise induces sleep
4.     Do meditation
5.     Avoid tea & coffee in evening & night
6.     Avoid alcohol and smoking especially in night

Sleep induction pills are used for short term control of insomnia. It is an addicting medicine so avoid using it for more than 1 month.
