You may also find getting Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is effective in getting you to change the thoughts and behaviours that keep you from getting high quality sleep at night.
Improving sleep hygiene: 1: GO TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY. A tip for getting into this routine is to set an alarm for the same time every morning including the weekends
and set an alert to remind you to go to sleep at the same time every night. 2: REMOVE DISTRACTIONS FROM YOUR BEDROOM. Remove the TV from your bedroom and avoid the temptation to use your
phone or laptop in bed. Try listening to soothing music that will help you to unwind and fall asleep. 3: EXERCISE EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES. It is important not to do strenuous
exercise within 6 hours of going to sleep. 4: DO NOT CONSUME CAFFEINATED TEA, COFFEE, SUGARY SODAS OR ALCOHOL BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP This may make you feel more alert, and make it harder for
you to fall asleep. Incorporating natural sleeping aids: -Sleep masks to block out light -Support pillows to create a more comfortable sleeping environment -earplugs to block out noises that
may make it harder to fall asleep or to stay asleep at night -essential oils such as lavender _Originally published at __www.quora.com__._
