Do sports (at home, if you feel more confortable) but 3x 30min/week.
Eat more greens, oilseeds, fresh fruits and food rich in magnesium such as: raw spinach, fish, beans, lentils, avocados, brown rice, bananas, figs and chocolate.

Insomnia can happen due to many reasons. The most common reason is stress or illness. Temporary stress due to changes in job, relationships, death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. If you feel like it is due to medication, you should discuss it further over a call along with your complete medical history. Thanks.

Dear Lybrate user. My personal opinion is that for no psychiatrist will just renew the medical prescription for the prescribed drugs unless he/she personally sees your sister. The drugs that she is receiving are good choices for a condition like schizophrenia but you need to personally take your sister to a psychiatrist who will first assess her before prescribing it.

Hello, clobazam is never taken for a long period. Sleepiness is due to clobazam mostly. Try tapering off clobazam. For initial 7 days take half the dose then for next 7 days one fourth of the dose then stop clobazam.
