Sleep Tip #1
Go to sleep and wake at the same time each day.Keeping a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends, may help develop a sleep-wake rhythm that encourages better sleep.

Sleep Tip #2
Avoid caffeine late in the day. Caffeine - contained in tea, cola, and chocolate, as well as in coffee - is a stimulant and can cause problems for people trying to fall asleep.

Sleep Tip #3
Watch your diet. A heavy meal or spicy foods before bedtime can lead to nighttime discomfort, and fluids can require disruptive trips to the bathroom. A light snack, however, can prevent hunger pangs and help you sleep better.

Sleep Tip #4
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise has been shown to improve sleep. Exercising in the morning or afternoon - at least three hours before bedtime, so you won't be too "revved-up" - may help you get a deeper, more restful sleep.
