What do I do if I have insomnia?

What are some cures for insomnia?

• im 17 years old. over the past year i've encountered some really tough sleeping problems. it is very hard for me to fall asleep and when i ever do i wake up frequently about once every hour. right now im lucky to get 3 hours of sleep. i went to the doctor last october and he said it is insomnia because my dad and his mom have it and its hereditary. i've tried everything. eating better, exercising, melatonin, i've even taken my dads ambien and all that did was make me hallucinate. I've heard rumors that medical marijuana can help insomnia. is that true? or what else could i try
