Create a Sleep-Inducing Environment: Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Consider using blackout curtains, earplugs, or a white noise machine if necessary.
Limit Screen Time Before Bed: The blue light emitted by phones, tablets, and computers can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Try to avoid screens for at least an hour before bedtime.
Stay Active During the Day: Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. However, avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime.
Watch Your Diet: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. These can disrupt sleep and make it harder to fall asleep.
Practice Relaxation Techniques: Techniques such as meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help calm the mind and prepare the body for sleep.
