Most common cause is stress and anxiety. Try downloading the CBT-I coach app (purple background with a moon). It is a great resource for insomnia. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is the gold standard for treatment of insomnia, better than medication.

Insomnia can be caused by various factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, medical conditions, medications, or poor sleep habits. Treatment typically involves improving sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine, alongside therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). In some cases, medications may be prescribed, but they are usually recommended for short-term use while addressing the root causes of insomnia.
