I've been having trouble sleeping lately. What can I do to help me get a better night's rest?

1. Try setting a regular sleep schedule and sticking to it as much as possible, even on weekends or days off.
2. Make sure your bedroom is dark and cool, with minimal distractions like TVs or computers.
3. Exercise regularly during the day, but not too close to bedtime.
4. Avoid caffeine and nicotine at least 4 hours before you plan to go to bed.
5. If you're feeling stressed out, try some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation.
6. Try to avoid eating heavy meals late in the evening.
