Please help me correct the following sentences.

1. The third way we looked sleeping problems from ourselves.
2. We used the information which we surfed on the Internet or the message which teachers taught us to prove that information is true or not really correct.

I would like to help but without more context, I cannot guess what your intended meaning is. The sentences out of context are very unclear.

Sorry,

The original context as written:

Special topic report on insomnia

Method

The Ways & the people

The first way we used the most was searching on the Internet. We search the Web sites of doctors, hospitals, and even colleges.

The second way is asking people[FONT=新細明體]:[/FONT]the people such as the PE teachers, friends, family, students or the teacher who works in the health center.

We asked these questions[FONT=新細明體]:[/FONT]
1. Have you ever had a bad sleeping?
2. What do you think the reason of your insomnia problem?
3. And, how do you do to solve this problem?

The third way we looked sleeping problems from ourselves. We used the information which we surfed on the Internet or the message which teachers taught us to prove that information is true or not really correct.

We asked these questions
1. Have you ever had a bad sleeping? Have you ever had trouble sleeping?
2. What do you think the reason of your insomnia problem? What do you think was the reason for your insomnia?
3. And, how do you do to solve this problem? How did you solve this problem?

The third way we looked sleeping problems from ourselves. We used the information which we surfed on the Internet or the message which teachers taught us to prove that information is true or not really correct.

Do you mean that you looked at your own sleeping problems? Do you mean that the message was from the teachers in a classroom sitting or from some sort of survey? Does the second sentence have anything to do with the first sentence?

The third way we looked at our own sleeping problems, and then usedthe above methods to test and analyze them. We used the information which we surfed onthe Internet, from some sort of survey, or the information which teacherstaught us, to check whether they were correct of not.[FONT=新細明體][/FONT]
