Sleep Hygiene: Have good sleep hygiene. Go to bed the same time every day, wake up the same time every morning. Avoid caffeine or alcohol. Keep your bedroom dark, and relatively cool.

Sleep hygiene: Agree with dr. Hines. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may include a warm bath or shower, aroma therapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in a dark, quiet, cool room on comfortable mattress & pillows.
