I've been having trouble sleeping. What can I do to make it better?

One thing you could try is setting a consistent sleep schedule and sticking to it each night. Make sure your bedroom is dark, cool and quiet and that you are comfortable in bed before turning off the lights. Avoid caffeine and nicotine close to bedtime and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. Exercise during the day but not too close to bedtime. If these strategies don't work, talk to your doctor about other options.
