Third one is Ur mental stress, if u worry about any thing then u wont get sleep. cause Ur mind thinks that problem only until it get solved. So oUr life is full of problems only no need to worry for any thing. What happens is happens. U cant control ur future it is gods hands. So, dont take any problem seriously and follow take it easy policy. OK be happy and though out your problem . OK dint use medicines.
I would agree w/ several of the answers given already. If you are only getting 2-3 hours you should go to the doctor. Try adding some exercise, walking for an hour or so. Also reduce TV and food intake particularly before bed. If you are married then perhaps a little action before bed would help you get some good sleep.
Introduction
Insomnia is a common condition. Most people will have an occasional bout of sleeplessness due to temporary stress, worry, or irregular schedule. However, when the inability to sleep well continues for weeks or months, it can become a health problem.

If you have chronic insomnia, it may be caused by an underlying factor such as depression, anxiety, or pain. Your insomnia will probably improve or disappear when the cause is treated successfully. Sometimes poor sleep becomes a problem of its own. Dwelling on it only makes it worse. Simply changing your beliefs about sleep and your everyday behaviors can improve your sleep dramatically.

Sleep hygiene measures include commonsense health practices and setting up an environment that promotes sleep.

Why should I change my everyday habits?
Choices we make on a daily basis become habits that determine our lifestyle. Making different choices can lead to new habits and a lifestyle that improves sleep. Research shows that lifestyle habits and sleep practices are strongly related to overall sleep quality. 1

If you usually have a couple glasses of wine before bedtime and seem to always wake up at 3:00 a.m., try a nonalcoholic (and noncaffeinated) beverage instead.
If you sit at a computer all day and don't make time for exercise, try taking a brisk walk for 20 minutes each day.

How can I improve my sleep environment?
The following measures may help you sleep more soundly and wake up feeling more refreshed:

Establish a regular bedtime.
Wake up at the same time each day, including weekends, even if you haven't slept well.
Avoid daytime napping.
Limit your consumption of caffeine (coffee, tea, caffeinated sodas), and don't have any for at least 4 to 6 hours before bedtime.
Avoid tobacco use, especially near bedtime and upon awakening during the night—nicotine is a stimulant.
Avoid using alcohol late in the evening. It can cause awakening later in the night.
Avoid heavy meals close to bedtime. A light snack may help you sleep.
Don't go to bed thirsty, but don't drink so much you have to urinate frequently.
Get some exercise every day. It can be vigorous or moderate, but you should not exercise within 3 or 4 hours of bedtime because activity increases metabolism and alertness for a few hours.
Get plenty of sunlight in the outdoors, especially in late afternoon.
Minimize noise in the house, or mask it with a steady low noise such as keeping a fan running on slow speed, or a radio tuned to static. Use comfortable earplugs if needed.
Keep the room cool and dark. If you can't darken the room, use a sleep mask.
Use a pillow and mattress that are comfortable for you.
If watching the clock makes you anxious about sleep, turn the clock so you can't see it or put it in a drawer.
Reserve the bedroom for sleeping and sexual activity. A bit of light reading may help you fall asleep, but if it doesn't, do your reading elsewhere in the house. Avoid watching television in bed.
Set aside time for problem solving earlier in the day so you don't carry anxious thoughts to bed. Try writing down your worries in a worry book, then set it aside well before bedtime.
Participate in relaxing activities before bedtime. Try deep breathing, yoga, meditation, tai chi, or muscle relaxation techniques. Take a warm bath. Play a quiet game or read a book.
If you can't fall asleep, or you wake up in the middle of the night and don't get back to sleep quickly, get out of bed and go to another room until you feel sleepy.
do a lot of exercise... minimum 45 min daily...
do not sleep in day time... keep away stresses while going to bed...
take warm milk at the time of going to bed...
Less Sleep? Blame the TV

A recent study conducted at the University of Florence has revealed that television viewing blocks the production of melatonin – the sleep hormone which is produced around 9 pm and induces sleep. Watching TV causes sleep deficit and can affect the child’s alertness in school. When children stopped watching TV for a week, the secretion of melatonin increased by 30 per cent and improved sleep patterns.

Heavy TV viewing induces passivity and reduces thinking skills in children. It hampers creativity and the development of language skills. Kids who live in “heavy” households – homes where the TV is on always or most of the time – are less likely to be able to read by the age of six. Violent programmes can make children afraid or worried. This may make them aggressive and some may end up experimenting with sex and alcohol.

All the best :)
Consult a doctor !! . he will tell yo to purchase sum tablets !! . have dem n chill =P
i have a different answer -
if you are married - enjoying sex is the best sedative - it works with me perfectly.
take 20 oz wisky or rum before sleep
You're stressed - not relaxing. Try an evening workout routine.
