Hi! take a warm bath before you sleep. A warm bath can help you relax and make you sleepy.

Sleep Problem

Hi! here are some tips to sleep better at night:

1. Don't oversleep - Get up at about the same time every day. Sleeping late for just a couple of days can reset your body clock to a different cycle and makes you sleep late at night.

2. Exercise - Being less active is one of the worst things an insomniac can do...so keep yourself physically active during the day. Brisk walking or jogging in the late afternon, can give you a more restful sleep.

3. Don't take a nap - When you feel sleepy, get up and do something. Water your plants, whip up some dishes or play with your dogs.

4. Set your body clock - Light helps restart your body clock to its active daytime phase. So when you get up, go outside and get some sunlight. Or if that's difficult, turn on all the lights in your room then walk around for a few minutes. The calves of your legs act as pumps and get blood circulating, carrying more oxygen to your brain to help get you going.

5. Set a bedtime schedule - Try to go to bed at about the same time every night.
