establish a night routine. research has shown that if you establish a night routine it will help you sleep better and live better. you could decide to go to bed at the same time, change your light bulb to a softer and warmer tone. invest in a satin pillowcase and your nighty. take a shower before and meditate. get a humidifier or burn incense. try not to exercise right before bed. light stretches would do. avoid eating and going straight to bed, the food needs time to be properly digested and reduce screen time before bed. and try and take one day at a time.

Set a schedule and stick to it. It sounds easy enough but with quarantine it's easy for schedules to dissolve. Create anchors for the schedule like showering, eating, or doing activities at a certain time. Try to avoid using drugs or alcohol to induce sleepiness because your body will come to expect the sleep aid and will compensate by making you more awake. Keep your bedroom cool and use a fan for white noise or wear ear plugs if needed. If you can't find relief with any advice you can do yourself then seek a professional who can help you with sleep aids.
