Sleep hygiene: Always start with good sleep hygiene: go to bed and wake up at the same time every day; discontinue all caffeinated beverages after lunch time; no heavy meals at least 3 hours before bedtime; no watching tv, no reading in bed - teach your body and mind that when you go to bed, you go there for the sole purpose of sleeping. If these simple measures do not help, see your physician.
