What are some tips on getting high quality sleep?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Sleep hygiene: Including balanced activities during the day with at least some physical activity, ideally outdoors, no tv or computer before bed time, light dinner hours before bed time, avoiding or reducing coffee and alcohol are only few suggested changes. Nights mirror our days and they are not all meant to be the same.

Sleep hygiene is key: Retire & rise same time daily. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv & no naps. Exercise regularly but not late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Keep dinner size medium & finish at least 2-3 hrs before sleep. Try warm milk w light reading or warm bath. Melatonin, Valerian, California poppy can help.

SENSITIVITY TO DRUG: First of all, I am concerned that someone of your young age is having trouble sleeping--there could be a number of causes and much of what has been advised may help. Melatonin, produced by the pineal gland may help, if taken 30-60 minutes before sleep may help, although some persons need 1-2mg while others may need 3-5mg. I have found 2.5mg to be helpful, while 5mg kept me awake. Good luck!
