The best treatment for a sleeping disorder depends on the specific type and its causes. Consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment options may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): Helps change sleep-disruptive behaviors and thoughts.
- Medications: Prescribed based on the specific disorder, such as sleeping pills or antidepressants.
- Lifestyle Changes: Establishing healthy sleep habits, like a consistent sleep schedule and a comfortable sleep environment.
- Alternative Therapies: Techniques like acupuncture or relaxation practices.
- Addressing Underlying Conditions: Treating issues like sleep apnea or chronic pain that affect sleep quality.

As a yoga instructor, I believe that incorporating a regular yoga practice can be beneficial in treating sleeping disorders. Yoga helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which are often underlying causes of sleep issues. By practicing calming and grounding yoga poses, deep breathing exercises, and meditation, individuals can improve their overall well-being and create a more peaceful state of mind conducive to better sleep. Additionally, establishing a bedtime routine that includes yoga can signal to the body that it is time to unwind and prepare for rest, ultimately aiding in a more restful night's sleep. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best approach for addressing sleeping disorders.

Magnesium supplements, melotonin, no caffeine after 1 pm..and some other sleep aids..
I would do a lot of Yoga Nidra to rest my body and be able to function next day with less sleep. Even HIIT workouts to exhaust myself did not work.Of late the 30 minutes pranayama classes has been a game changer for me. And 5-10 minutes of Aum Chanting before bedtime alon with anulom vilom seems to be helping me. Please do try at least 30 minutes of pranayama in a day and see the difference.
