My first suspect in insomnia is always caffeine.
Does he drink tea, coffee, cola, or "energy" drinks?

OK. Is he on any medication? Poor sleep can be a side-effect of
some drugs, for example anti-depressants.

Is he under stress, from work, financial problems, maybe
medical worries, problems in relationships? Anything in his life
to cause anxiety?

Does he engage in "exciting" activities prior to trying to sleep,
like playing action video games?
