I'm having trouble sleeping. What can I do to get a better night's rest?

One thing you can try is setting up a regular sleep schedule and sticking to it. Try going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Make sure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet so that you feel relaxed and comfortable when you're trying to fall asleep. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine before bedtime, as these substances can make it harder to sleep. Exercise regularly during the day but avoid strenuous activities right before bed. Finally, practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or progressive muscle relaxation to help you relax and unwind before bed.
