1Get more sleep: Just like we need to make time for working out, we need to schedule seven to nine hours of sleep into our day because it is one of the most essential parts of our health. What we get from a good night's rest, cannot be supplemented elsewhere.
2Create the right night-time routine and environment: Be it print books or tea with chamomile or lavender, make sure to choose something that will be a calming experience and one you can repeat every night. Over time, your body will get used to this ritual and know when it is time to shut down and go to sleep. The environment you go to sleep in is also important. If it is clean and uncluttered, it will be easier for your mind to be as well. Again, your room should be a tranquil space used almost solely for relaxing and sleeping.

4Go to sleep when you are tired: When we have had an especially exhausting day, we tend to ignore our brains when they are telling us we are drained and tired hours before we normally are. Don't ignore what your body is telling you. Just like waiting too long to go to bed after taking a sleeping pill, powering through your tiredness instead of going right to bed can have adverse effects.
5Always have something to look forward to: Schedule your week so that you have something to look forward to, even if that something is calling a friend to catch up, or trying out a new place for lunch.
