Bedtime routine: Turn off all electronic devises including texting an hour before bedtime. Listen to relaxing music. Take a warm bath or shower and try to go to bed at the same time every night

Sleep Hygiene is Key: Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Keep dinner moderate sized & finish at least 2 to 3 hrs before sleep. Can try warm milk, Chamomile tea or melatonin along w light reading, warm bath or lavender scent.

Lights out: Shift back your bedtime gradually if you have been staying up late. Turn off the computer and phone an hour before bedtime. No tv in bedroom. Daily exercise is good, but not in the evening. Try warm bath, stretching, some yoga or meditation, with a warm glass of milk and turkey breast ( for the tryptophan) Best of luck!
