Do you lie in bed tossing and turning every night? These tips will prepare you for bed and help you sleep through the night.

Step 1: Keep temperature cool
Keep the temperature in your bedroom no higher than 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If the room is dry, get a humidifier.

Step 2: Avoid alcohol
Cut back on the alcohol. Under the influence of alcohol you will fall asleep faster, but won't sleep as long.

Step 3: Avoid caffeine and sugar
Avoid bedtime snacks that contain caffeine, sugar, or grains.

Tip
Drink a glass of warm milk or eat a banana for a bedtime snack.

Step 4: Exercise daily
Exercise every morning for 30 minutes. Stay active throughout the day and avoid taking naps.

Step 5: Take a bath
Take a warm bath to relax and soothe your tired muscles.

Step 6: Choose mattress and pillow
Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow that is right for you.

Tip
Wash your sheets and blankets frequently and use a lightly scented detergent.

Step 7: Listen to music
Play a white noise recording or use a sleep mask and earplugs.

Did You Know?
Kids between the ages of six and nine need 10 to 11½ hours of sleep a night.

[baldian]

how bout something which doesnt require a bath and a humidifyer

[AdamasOldblade]

Keeping your temperature at 65 F or lower sounds great and all... But for people like me who live in Arizona, unless you want to wake up broke after just one week... the temperature tip is impossible.
