I have been having problems sleeping lately. What are some tips for a good night's sleep?
assistant
1. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
2. Avoid screens (TVs, computers, phones) an hour before you plan to sleep.
3. Exercise regularly but not too close to bedtime.
4. Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet.
5. Create a comfortable sleep environment by using blackout curtains or blinds, avoiding caffeine and nicotine late in the day, and keeping electronics out of the bedroom.
6. If possible, try to relax before going to bed. Take deep breaths, stretch, read a book, etc.
7. Get regular exposure to natural light during the day.
8. Avoid naps during the day if possible.
9. Avoid eating large meals right before bed.
10. Consider seeing a doctor if you're having trouble sleeping.
