First understand why you you have bad sleep, then try to prevent it. Is it every night? Is the problem all night or first hours?

There are several ways you can improve your sleep. The main thing is forming new habits and sticking to them even when that is challenging or not ideal to socializing with friends. Some suggestions: 1. Go to sleep and wake up around the same time each day. This helps reset your body's sleep clock (circadian rhythm) and is a natural way to help with sleep. 2. Do not use your computer, watch TV or associate with any device that has a bright light for about half an hour to fourty-five minutes before you go to bed. The synthetic light from electronscs tricks your brain in to believing the day is still in progress when really it is not. 3. Pay attention to what you eat before sleep. Do not drink sugary or caffeinated drinks before bed. If you have a sugary or caffeinated drink, do so around mid-day so that there is time for the drink to go through your digestive tract. Do not expect these techniques to help instantaneously. Your body will take a while to get into a new routine and to form new habits. Keep up with it though and you will be sleeping better. :)

To get better sleep, I avoid looking at my cell phone or tablet (or any other electronic device) at least an hour before going to bed! Reading a good book with candlelight helps relax me.

I find warm milk helpful and managing things like food and shows that are active before I sleep a great way to manage the types of dreams I have 😴 if you can not find a safe way to get a good rest it's best to talk to your doctor

Sleep in a cooler room, stay away from electronics and food for at least an hour before bed, and make sure to have completed all that you needed to do that night so as to not have stress.

To fall asleep I usually listen to some music and drink some tea as this clears my mind. When my mind is clear when I fall asleep I seem to have fewer nightmares and wake up less often.

Never go to bed, and immediately scroll through social media. You'll get better sleep if you scroll through social media on the couch, and then go to bed without the phone. Beds should be used (mostly) for sleep!

Avoid all technology half an hour before sleeping and don't get involved in any conversations before bed. Make sure you have a comfy bed and a calm room. If you are struggling to fall asleep go to bed a couple hours earlier
