6 Steps To Solve Your Sleep Problems (Part 1)
1. Try to get in bed the same time every night and get up the same time every morning
2. Associate your bed with sleeping. If you don’t get into bed within 30 minutes, or you wake up and can’t get back to bed within 30 minutes; get out of bed, sit quietly in another room and read something. If you stay in bed and start turning and tossing, you will associate your bed with anxiety and you won’t sleep.

4. Stop drinking caffeine by noon.
5. Bright lights keep us awake. the bright light fools the brain into thinking it’s time to be awake. So at night, keep your bedroom lights very dim.
