Sleep hygiene: Practice sleep hygiene: keep you room a little on a chilly side, warm shower before bed, bedtime routine: no tv, or anything stimulating, no heavy meals. If you can't fall asleep, get out of bed and do something really boring until you feel sleepy and then go back to bed. Go to bed and wake up at the same time.

I could use more: Information from you. What keeps you awake? Thoughts and worries? Do you fall asleep and then wake up? Have you been under additional stress lately? How long has this been going on for? There are multiple reasons (psychological and/or physiological) for poor sleep. If you have tried simple solutions, consider going for a sleep evaluation ; ask your primary care doc for a reference.

Sleep: In addition to Dr. Miller’s excellent advice, avoid screens of any type (iPad, computer, phone, TV) at least 1 hour prior to going to bed. Peace and good health.
