Sleep Hygiene : This refers to the environment in which you are attempting to sleep. Is there darkness or does light invade the sleeping space? How about noise? How cluttered is the bed or the surrounding area of the bed? Is tv on or is the radio on?

Sleep hygiene: Sleep hygiene refers to the habits you keep regarding sleep. It helps to develop a bedtime routine, which signals your body to start winding down for sleep. Keep consistent sleep & wake times. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and meals 3 hours before bad -- no caffeine after noon (if at all). Soft music, comfy bed with cool temperature and darkness; no tv. More: http://tinyurl.Com/mhxjf3s.
