From what you've shared, itâs clear that her sleep concerns are deeply affecting her well-being, and you're rightly concerned about avoiding long-term reliance on sleeping pills.
Given her medical history of epilepsy, any approach to improving her sleep must be cautious and holistic. Sleep difficulties, especially trouble falling and staying asleep, often have a close relationship with underlying anxiety and stress. When these emotional struggles remain unresolved, they can dysregulate the bodyâs natural sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm.
Next Steps
Since sheâs on medication for epilepsy, itâs crucial to involve her neurologist or psychiatrist/psychologist in any sleep treatment plan.

Hi
To help her naturally, a combination of CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) and anxiety management techniques works well. Start with simple sleep hygiene: fixed bedtime and wake-up time, no screens at least an hour before bed, a warm shower, and calming herbal tea (like chamomile or tulsi). Introduce calming activities in the evening like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided sleep meditations. Also, daily exposure to morning sunlight and mild walking can reset her circadian rhythm. If anxiety is high, therapy with a psychologist can help identify core stressors and build emotional coping mechanisms. Over time, this reduces reliance on pills and allows her mind to find its own balance. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
