Melatonin, eye mask, fan (noise and breeze) and make this as consistent as possible. The more consistent your sleeping patterns the easier to sleep.

Don’t eat about an hour before bed, get some kind of white noise involved,and let your mind wander along some positive thoughts and memories. Don’t try too hard to think about something specific just start somewhere and let your mind wander. Also some deep breaths when you get into bed help get you calming down.

Not 📵 using your phone before bed time, I also exercise sometimes at 4 or 5 pm so that my body gets tired before I eat supper. Reading my bible also helps and I’ve found sleeping naked as well

I find switchingnoff all distractions such as the tv, games or my phone an hour before I want to sleep. Then I tidy around for 10 minutes, get myself dressed for bed, have a herbal tea and get into be with a book or maybe a diary to write or sometimes I knit. Then unwind in bed with no electronics, just some calming rain sounds. Then After half an hour of this activity I turn of all the lights put in earplugs and do some.breathing. 9 time out if ten I drift off easily.

My tricks for a restful sleep is to be in bed around 10 PM. Then I start by being thankful for the day, I visualize the day and say thank you. Then I start focusing on my breathing and begin to meditate, feeling relaxed in my body and just focusing on my breath. After 15 minutes I come back, open my eyes and smile. I start to read 1 chapter in my book, cause this also gets me relaxed and sleepy. Now I feel tired, relaxed and in balance.

Keep your phone away from your bedside and from direct access, but close enough that you can hear the alarm in the morning. Such that it forces you to get out of bed to turn the alarm off. Turn off all lights and block any light from coming into your room.

Set a bedtime alarm and go to bed at the same time every night. Have a bedtime routine that includes some winding down time like reading or drinking camomile tea or taking a warm bath. Keep bedroom cool and dark and free from TV.

Stay off your phone. Read a book and drink some green tea. Keep your room nice and cool and make sure it’s dark so there are no distractions. I hope that helps!

you have to have a repeated sleeping pattern, sleep and wake up at the same time. Don’t use electronics 30 minutes before you sleep, read instead

1. No coffee past 3 pm. 2. A clean room, with a well made bed. 3. Mouth guard. 4. Getting ready for bed before I think I need to. 5. Shower, and brush my teeth. 6. Some water, electronics off, and fall asleep reading or meditating.
