1. Allow time for your mind and body to wind down.

2. If you are having trouble sleeping, don't allow yourself to get frustrated.

Many sleep experts suggest getting out of bed, turning on the light, or engage in a quiet activity, such as reading, watching TV, or listening to music.

3. Avoid or reduce your intake of caffeine.

4. Avoid alcohol.

Many people believe that drinking alcohol will help them sleep. Although it can help you relax, it actually contributes to a lower quality of sleepcaused by frequent awakenings.

5. Quit smoking.

Nicotine is a stimulant. Studies show people who smoke cigarettes have increased difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.

6. Eat light.

Although eating a large meal will make you feel tired, trying to sleep shortly afterwards might be troublesome, as your body works to digest the food.

7. Exercise regularly.

Regular exercise in the late afternoon or early evening is more effective at improving sleep than in the morning or late evening.

8. Follow a regular bed and wake time.

Even if you stay up late or have trouble sleeping, waking at the same time each morning may help your body get back into a healthy sleep pattern.
