Some suggestions: First thing if you want to fall asleep earlier is increase your sleep pressure. This means get up earlier. Also avoid napping and stimulant medications such as caffeine during the day. In addition in the evening/night avoid extra lights in the form of computer/television/screens. Try relaxation strategies to help turn that mind off as well.

Go to be earlier-: Yes, I am serious ! 1.Keep regular bed ; waking time (even weekends). Rise same time each day, regardless of time you fell asleep. 2. Develop relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath/shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable mattress ; pillows. 4. Bedroom is only for sleep ; sex. No work materials, computers, ; tv in room. 5. Finish.
