Try good sleep: Hygeine before turning to sleeping pills. 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. 4. Use bedroom only for sleep &sex. Put work materials, computers, &tvs in another.
