Have a non-caffeine hot drink, for example a hot chocolate or hot malt drink are ideal. Turn all electricity off, so there's no artificial buzz around you. Read or colour-in, something calming. Close your eyes, 10 deep breathes and relax.

Drinking warm green tea: camomile, peppermint, honey lemon. Or perhaps working out. To freshen up the mind so that you get tired before you go to bed. And the exhaustion eliminates the clouded mind.

Take a bath with lavender oil or bubbles. Baking soda in the bath works great, too! I also listen to quiet, white noise (i.e. rain, a fan, etc.) or soft music (i.e. Jack Johnson).

What I do to help me sleep better is turn off all my electronics cept for my radio, and I put on calm music (well music that helps me sleep), and I make some tea and meditate.

Have some warm tea and a hot bath/ shower before bed. Listen to your favourite song. Read a book that you enjoy.

What I've found to be a good way to get better sleep is if you do yoga after you get ready for bed. By doing yoga it relaxes your muscles and it helps you fall asleep quicker.

Firstly, make sure it is very dark in your room (unless you have a fear of the dark - make it as dark as you can manage). Secondly, never use your room for anything other than sleeping. This will tell the body that once it enters the room, it should feel tired. Third, make sure to stop looking at any screens an hour before you want to go to sleep. This will relax the brain. Listening to music on a device is fine, and I would actually advise classical music to relax, but make sure you close your eyes whilst listening. Finally, make sure you're warm and start thinking about something you'd really like to happen. Put yourself in the situation, from a 1st person perspective and live it out. The rest will happen naturally, don't worry if it's slow and don't try to rush it or "force" sleep. Just relax and allow it to arrive :)

You could try a calming tea, practice breathing exercises, if it's not to cold use the sound of a fan or point the fan away. Try to clear your head and make yourself comfortable

Follow a pattern everyday . If youre feeling tired and its a bit early for bedtime just sleep because you dont want to miss your chance.

Make sure your sleep solutions are optimal for rest. This includes increasing or decreasing the amount of light that is in your sleeping area and adjusting the firmness of your mattress and/or pillows among other things.
