Good habits can help you fall and stay asleep. Some tips:
If you wake up at night and can't go back to sleep, stay quiet and relax. Be patient. You’ll usually get sleepy again. A few nights of poor sleep won’t do any long-term harm.
- Keep your bedroom quiet and dark.
- Avoid watching TV or other stimulation within 15 minutes of bedtime
- Try to keep a regular sleep schedule.
- Avoid heavy meals, smoking, alcohol, or caffeine near bedtime.
- Keep the bedroom reserved for sleep and sex only.
