My ex has been having problems with sleep for the past year. I don’t get to see her because she lives far away, but I know this is taking a toll on her life. I worry about it, knowing there is nothing I can do. Details: She is an 19 year old female who claims the cause of insomnia to be stress. Some nights she will lay in bed for a few hours and go into thought, but sleep never comes as it does for normal people naturally. Anyone have similar experience in this field? Is it always stress, or could it be something like a hormonal imbalance? What method should she take to reduce her stress? Any pills or herbal remedies that help?
