Hello Kenster are you going to bed and getting up at the same time each day ?

Are you eating late at night, try not eating after 20;30 each night, the tummy will not be digesting the food and your tummy will churn and keep you awake

Are you chewing over the day while trying to sleep Sometimes that can be a problem.

Try taking medications about two hours before bed, a small glass of milk can also calm the tummy after medications in the evening
