Want a good night's sleep? Here are a few suggestions....

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Good thinking and a desire for sleep.
  1. Step 1

    Develop a regular "going to bed and wake up" routine. When you do this on a regular basis, you will find that your body will respond. This is a positive habit that will lead to a good sleeping pattern.

  2. Step 2

    Keep a relaxing and calming bedtime routine. Several hours before going to bed, read or watch an interesting TV program. Listening to relaxing music also helps.

  3. Step 3

    Sometimes eating a light snack at night helps, such as toast and a glass of milk.

  4. Step 4

    Avoid alcohol and caffeine, for they stimulate the body and brain and will keep you awake.

  5. Step 5

    Light exercise four to five hours before going to bed also helps. Walking is the best, for it calms the body down and tells the brain that everything is alright.
