 If you ever have trouble falling asleep use some of these tips to get some help with it.

  • Stay on a regular sleep schedule. Go to sleep at about the same time every night. Or whenever you do get to go to sleep. 
  • Don't take naps in the afternoon. This will disrupt your sleeping well at night.
  • Keep your home cool at night. Sleep  is a lot better when it is cooler.
  • Use your bed only for sleeping and other bed things. Don't work or eat in bed.
  • Avoid caffeine from the early afternoons on.
  • If you smoke - QUIT!
  • Don't eat anything heavy right before bedtime.
  • Check the medicine that you use. Sometimes the medicine you take thinking it will help you, actually makes you sleep deprived. Which hurts you more in the long run.
  • As much as possible - spend about 30 minutes in the sun each day. It resets your body and makes you feel a lot better just by getting that dose of Vitamin D.
  • Maybe move your clock out of the bedroom so that when you can't fall asleep , your not just laying there watching the clock. 
  • Have a good bed and pillows . When you are comfortable you will sleep better and wake up more refreshed.
