1. Try to establish a regular bedtime and wake up time each day.
2. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and large meals late in the evening.
3. Exercise regularly throughout the day but avoid strenuous activities close to your bedtime.
4. Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet.
5. Create a relaxing atmosphere with soft lighting, soothing music, and calming scents.
6. Get plenty of natural sunlight during the day.
7. Avoid naps during the day as they can disrupt your circadian rhythm.
8. If you find yourself tossing and turning, try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation.
