I'm having trouble sleeping at night. What tips can you give me to sleep better?

I would suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule. Stick to a set bedtime and wake up time every day, even on weekends or holidays. Reduce or eliminate any caffeinated beverages in the late afternoon and evening. Avoid eating late-night snacks. Exercise daily, but not too close to your bedtime. Take some time to relax before going to bed. Create a comfortable, peaceful environment for sleep. Try to keep telephones, computers, and other devices as far away from your bed as possible. If you can’t sleep after 20 minutes in bed, get up and do something that’s relaxing until you feel tired again.
