You can also do many things to help you get a good night’s sleep
Follow a regular sleep schedule or bedtime routine
Go to sleep and get up at the same time each day, even on weekends or when you are traveling.
Avoid napping in the late afternoon or evening, if you can. Naps may keep you awake at night.
Develop a bedtime routine. Take time to relax before bedtime each night. Some people read a book, listen to soothing music, or soak in a warm bath.
Avoid continue exposure to blue light over time
Try not to watch television or use your computer, cell phone, or tablet in the bedroom. The blue light from these devices may make it difficult for you to fall asleep. And alarming or unsettling shows or movies, like horror movies, may keep you awake.
Decorate your bedroom with correct design
Keep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature, not too hot or too cold, and as quiet as possible. Other than that, low lighting in the evenings and as you prepare for bed.
Exercise is a bad idea
Exercise at regular times each day can help you for good sleep, but not within 3 hours of your bedtime.
Stay away of foods
Avoid eating large meals close to bedtime—they can keep you awake.
Don’t consume coffee before sleep
Stay away from caffeine late in the day. Caffeine (found in coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate) can keep you awake.
Alcohol is not helping
Remember, alcohol won’t help you sleep. Even small amounts make it harder to stay asleep.
