Routine: Go to bed the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Don't nap during the day. Stop stressful chores or discussions long before you go to bed. Relax before bedtime. Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. Can't sleep? Avoid caffeine. Don't drink alcohol before bed. check your medications- is sleeplessness a side effect. Talk to your Dr
