Sleep Hygiene is Key: Keep reg. bed & wake time. Make routine: warm bath /shower, aromatherapy, read, or gentle music. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfy mattress/pillows & no work materials or computer. Bedroom only for sleep & sex. No food 2-3 hrs, caffeine w/i 6 hrs, alcohol or smoking w/i 2 hrs of bed. Exercise at least few hrs before bed. No naps. Retire only if tired. Deal wi problems at another time.

Consider asking your primary care for a home or lab sleep test which may reveal a Sleep Breathing Disorder. Practice good sleep hygiene: cool, dark room, avoid blue light, caffeine & alcohol. Take a warm shower, clear & lubricate nasal passages. Sleep on your side instead of your back. Take care
