Insomnia at night what to do?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have trouble sleeping at night, even though I have been awake from that night until this evening, I still do not feel sleepy at night. I lay with my eyes closed trying to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. Even if I can sleep, in the middle of the night around 2 o'clock, I will automatically wake up and can't sleep anymore. The doctor asked me, what should I do if I can't sleep at night? Thank you.
