If you use excellent: Sleep hygiene, improve quality of sleep and you are still needing this much sleep - would see physician for further evaluation. 1. Keep regular bed ; wakening time (includes weekends). Get up same time daily. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable mattress ; pillows.
