It's a lack of routine.<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Build yours now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Helen Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First off, I recommend not consuming caffeine after 5pm. I\u2019m very sensitive to caffeine. Then, about an hour before I\u2019m ready to go to bed, I heat water for tea (chamomile works really well for me) and let the tea steep while I take a shower. When I\u2019m done with my shower I\u2019ll sip on my tea while I work on my night skin care routine. When I finish my tea I brush my teeth and get my room ready. I\u2019ve been playing sleep meditation music which has been very soothing as I can\u2019t sleep without white noise. I try to get my room as dark as I can and turn on my fan. I\u2019ll focus on my breathing as I like to meditate that way and I usually fall asleep quickly. If I can\u2019t sleep, I recommend reading a chapter in a book or journaling until you\u2019re ready to fall asleep! Also try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lisa Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Make yourself busy during the day, it will make you tired. I used to spend my day sitting on my bed scrolling through my phone and I always struggled to fall asleep at night which led me to mess up my sleep schedule, now that I go to school, study &amp; play the violin I sleep as soon as I put my head on the pillow. Hope this helped :))<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maggie Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Honestly, I think personally, put that stupid phone down. That light is just awful. If you mind can relax and get away from light and know that \u2018oh it\u2019s time to go to bed and settled down\u2019. Once that phone is away make sure you are ready for bed, like face washed, brushed teeth, no bra, and in pjs. Now that ur ready and so is ur brain. Settle down by reading and praying (if religious). Just do something in ur bed to settle down ur brain and get it ready for bed. It might be journaling too. Make sure ur room is dark, cool, and quiet. Which will also train ur brain that it\u2019s time for bed.<br \/>\nGoodnight, sleepy time is very important. Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Debra Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have struggled with insomnia for years. Now I take a prescription med for sleep that helps, but even more so I put on a TV show that I&#39;ve seen every episode but still like to watch. I get cozy, watch for about 20 min, and pass out asleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">\ud83d\udc1a  SHELLY N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Oops, sorry.
