Maintain a sleep log.
Keep track of how much caffeine you consume during the day (and when), how much exercise you get, what you eat, and when you go to bed and wake up. You might be able to identify correlations (such as too much caffeine before bed) and modify accordingly.
Keep it cool
Lower the temperature. Many people sleep faster when their rooms are chilly. Set your thermometer to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 18 degrees Celsius) or get a cool mattress.
Get moving
If you can’t fall asleep, get up and move for a few minutes. Sometimes the anxiety of not being able to fall asleep makes it harder to fall asleep.
Put away your screens
Skip the TV and phone, though; the bright screens could keep you awake.
