Additional Information: Additional interventions to support sleep: Exercise during the day, but within 3 hrs of bed time, limit exercise to a casual walk. Stretch. Take a warm bath or shower. Turn off TV and screens an hour or so before bed. Most people sleep better in cool rooms. Journal or make a "brain dump" list before bed--write down every single thing on your mind. Pray. Listen to a "sleep music" or Bible reading app on your phone. For kids: develop a bedtime routine, including bath, snacks, prayers, reading, etc. 

Consider medications--have you started taking anything new? Or increased the dosage of a medication? Some medications have a side effect of insomnia, even if you didn't experience it when you first started taking the medication.
