People are creatures of habit. And it seems as if our body reacts better to things when we stick to a schedule and do them ritualistically. By establishing a calming ritual of things you do before getting into bed could have huge benefits. You can come up with the ideas for yourself as you know best what relaxes you but some things could include: read a book, take a bath, drink some tea or meditation.

2. Make Your Bedroom ONLY Your Bedroom

Your bedroom is the place where you rest up and sleep for your busy life, and that should be about all it is used for. Problem is, a ton of people use their room as a place to hang out with people, watch TV or even treat it as an office when they work on their computer. You should do your best to only be in your room when you are trying to sleep as this will unconsciously tell your body it is time to sleep once you enter the room, which will help you sleep better.

3. Exercise More

Exercising more is a good idea in almost every facet of life, including sleep. Working out can not only help us sleep longer and better, it can lead us to have more energy when we are awake. Regular exercise (as long as it isn’t right before bed) will go a long way in helping your sleep. However, it can sometimes take weeks or months of regular exercise before you start seeing the sleep effects, so keep at it!
