Keep regular sleep hours

Going to bed when you feel tired and getting up at roughly the same time helps teach your body to sleep better. Try to avoid napping where possible.

Create a restful environment

Dark, quiet and cool environments generally make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Move more to sleep better

Being active can help you sleep better. Remember to avoid vigorous activity near bedtime if it affects your sleep.

Confront sleeplessness

If you are lying awake unable to sleep, do not force it. Get up and do something relaxing for a bit, and return to bed when you feel sleepier.

Put down the pick-me-ups

Caffeine and alcohol can stop you falling asleep and prevent deep sleep. Try to cut down on alcohol and avoid caffeine close to bedtime.

Write down any worries

If you often lie awake worrying about tomorrow, set aside time before bed to make a list for the next day. This can help to put your mind at rest.
