In college I used to suffer from really bad insomnia, to a point where I actually went to a doctor about it. I got some ambien I was more or less cured but the sleep was definitely less restful. I eventually dropped out of college, in no small part because I was afraid that it was causing me too much stress and leading to this.
I mostly got over the insomnia (largely due to me taking some medication for depression) but occasionally I get spells of it. Thus far, I've found that the best way that I have reliably been able to get good sleep has been to exercise (almost) daily.
I'm willing to accept that it may be placebo, but I also figure that it's not going to hurt me to exercise daily.
As someone that is mostly healthy I also get occasional insomnia spells. Like for a week, any little thing will wake me up. Anecdotally, I send that doing sports daily even if just a 20 minutes jog in the morning, helps keeping my cycles intact.
