1.Stick to a schedule
When you allow it to, the human body maintains natural rhythms that determine your healthy sleep cycle. As much as possible, try to stick to a personal schedule that allows you to get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Factor in 30 to 45 minutes of pre-sleep time per night, in which you prepare your body and mind for sleeping. So set your bedtime at least half an hour before you intend to actually be asleep.

2.Let daylight guide you (and darkness too)
Your natural body clock, is cued by the experience of light and darkness; it is inclined to wakefulness when it is bright and sleep when it is dark. Being aware of this can also help you maintain your sleep schedule. Expose yourself to bright light (preferably sunlight) in the daytime and keep your sleep area dark, even if it means hanging blackout curtains and investing in a good sleep mask.

3.Get comfortable
This might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised at how often people will sacrifice comfort to save a little money. But having quality mattresses, pillows, bedsheets, etc., can mean a world of difference when it comes to falling asleep quickly. So scout those home store sales for bargains on quality beddings—you won’t regret it! You may also want to invest in orthopedic pillows. Make sure you dress comfortably as well; slumber-promoting sleepwear is a must!

4.Keep things cool.
asleep. Encourage your body to fall asleep faster by cooling down your sleeping area—if you’re concerned about electricity usage, make sure your air conditioner is on a timer. Taking a warm bath or ****** before you head for bed at night also helps; as your body cools down afterward, you’ll often find you’ll get sleepy much faster.

5.Banish electronics from your sleeping space.
Establish bedtime as unplugged time. Using electronics before bedtime (especially in this age of streaming video and social media) may keep you awake for longer. How many times have you found yourself idly scrolling through your newsfeed in the hours you’re supposed to be sleeping? If controlling your impulse to check on what’s happening in the world is a bit difficult, try keeping your devices (especially your mobile) across the room or out of your bedroom altogether.

6.Listen to something soothing.
If music helps you relax, try listening to some before you go to bed. There are several playlists on streaming services like Spotify composed to help promote sleep; it’s just a matter of finding what works for you. If music isn’t your style, try ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos and podcasts, which often feature relaxing sounds or instruct you on movements or massages that will help you relax.

7.Try not to nap too often.
You may have heard that short naps can help improve your health and general wellbeing, but too much of a good thing can often be detrimental, and this is true of sleep. Regularly napping for two hours or more may compromise your sleep quality. Should you really feel the need to nap, try to limit these to 30 minutes or less and to schedule these in the morning or early afternoon rather than later in the day.

8.Don't Obsess about falling asleep.
Have you ever found that the more you’ve tried to force yourself to sleep, the more elusive it’s proven? Try not to spend too much time trying to convince yourself to feel sleepy; don’t watch the clock and track how long you’ve been awake when you really should be sleeping. Instead, you may want to focus on clearing your mind of your daily stresses or even try to force yourself to stay awake. You might just find yourself getting sleepy the harder you fight to keep your eyes.
