Good habits: No eating for few hours before sleep time. Sleep time is kind of the same over time. Keep qiet in the last hour before sleep time. No exercise for the same period of time. A glass of water or camomille might help as well. A comfortable bed.

Natural sleep: Melatonin, valerian and chamomile may help. Also, cut down on caffeine, get a lot of exercise, and try meditation. Certain foods such as bananas, almonds, turkey, oatmeal, and warm milk may help you relax and sleep better.
