My son is having trouble sleeping, can you give me some tips for getting a better night's sleep?

1. Establish a consistent bedtime routine and stick to it each night. This could include things like taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, listening to calming music, or doing relaxation exercises.
2. Avoid screens before going to bed. Blue light from electronic devices can disrupt your circadian rhythm and make it harder to fall asleep.
3. Make sure your bedroom is dark, cool, and comfortable. A comfortable mattress and pillow are also important for a good night’s sleep.
4. Exercise regularly during the day but not too close to bedtime. Exercising too close to bedtime can cause an increase in body temperature that makes it harder to relax.
5. Try to avoid caffeine and nicotine late in the day. These stimulants can keep you up at night.
6. Avoid naps during the day as they can interfere with your nighttime sleep.
7. Talk to your doctor if you're still having difficulty sleeping. There may be underlying health issues causing insomnia that need to be addressed.
