2. Watch what you drink and eat<\/strong><\/h2>\nAvoid going to bed either hungry or too full. These feelings of discomfort might keep you up. Also limit the amount you drink right before bed to avoid middle-of-the-night trips to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
3. Don\u2019t spend more than 15 minutes trying to fall asleep<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you don\u2019t fall asleep after 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Read a book, draw or walk around the house. Go back to bed once you\u2019re tired. It\u2019s better not to agonize over falling asleep or you\u2019ll find it harder to nod off.<\/p>\n
4. Keep it comfortable<\/strong><\/h2>\nGet your room in the best environment for sleeping. Make sure your room is well ventilated and kept at the ideal temperature between 64.4 \u2013 68 degrees. Your bedding also contributes to better sleep, so choose what feels most comfortable to you.<\/p>\n

7. Exercise during the day<\/strong><\/h2>\nGetting regular cardio activity helps you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Time it right. Vigorous exercise right before bed will give you too much energy to fall asleep.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\n8. Keep it dark and quiet<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe ideal environment for sleeping is a room that\u2019s dark and quiet. Using earplugs, room-darkening shades, a fan, or other devices can create an environment suited for you.<\/p>\n
