1. Establish a regular bedtime and stick to it as much as possible.
2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and heavy meals before bedtime.
3. Exercise regularly during the day to reduce stress levels.
4. Create a comfortable environment for yourself at night by turning off electronics and using soothing scents like lavender or chamomile.
5. Try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation.
