Sleep hygiene: If having sleep problems, creating good sleep hygiene can help improve sleep.Adhere to a set bedtime, no food or drink for 2-3 hrs before, bed for sleep or sex only, no tv or music (but maybe white noise machine), minimize or remove any lights including led from clock/alarm/phone, no daytime naps.Get up if no sleep in 20 min and wait until sleepy.Of course, if disturbance from others these may not help.

Sleep Hygiene is Key: Keep reg. bed & wake time. Make routine: warm bath /shower, aromatherapy, read, or gentle music. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfy mattress/pillows & no work materials or computer. Bedroom only for sleep & sex. No food 2-3 hrs, caffeine w/i 6 hrs, alcohol or smoking w/i 2 hrs of bed. Exercise at least few hrs before bed. No naps. Retire only if tired. Deal wi problems at another time.
