What are some helpful tips to help sleep better? dr has put me on sleep aid pills but worked two days then stopped working now lm where l started.

Many ways: Yes. Limit anything but red light, have a comfortable room temperature, exercise three hours before bedtime, drink warm tea or coffee [decaf!] one hour before bed, don't watch tv or use a computer for 1 hour before bedtime, limit noise that can wake you up, use a sound machine if this is helpful... If this doesn't work, see a psychiatrist or sleep medicine specialist. Hope this helps.

Suggestions: I might suggest things like going to bed at the same time each night, no alcohol before bed, if you do not fall asleep within the 1st 15 minutes of laying there, get up and read or do something calm until you feel tired, no exercise an hour before bed, and using your bed only for sleep. Otherwise i would suggest going back to your physician for further help.

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, along w light reading or warm bath.
