Create a restful environment: 

 

Use of low lighting in the evening will help to prepare yourself for bedtime.  

Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep. If your busy mind keeps you awake, keep some paper by your bed so you can write down your thoughts. Putting these aside to be dealt with the next day.  

Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark, and quiet. Exposure to light might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens, such as smart phones, tablets, computers, and televisions, just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan, or other devices that provide ambient noise, to create an environment that suits your needs.
