At night when you go to sleep make sure not light is getting inside your bedroom. Also close the window and door to ensure the maximum possible quiet time. If you have loud neighbors or you live near a street with intense traffic buy a pair of earplugs. They are cheap and very effective. The only problem that remains is how will you hear the alarm clock in the morning. Oh well at least you will wake up rested and energetic.

Don’t watch television before going to sleep. The news and the action movie will not relax you. Also don’t read or watch something controversial before going to sleep. Your brain will be working all night to take a stand and resolve the conflict. Watch or read something light, easy that will help you relax.

If you have hard times sleeping and falling asleep try taking a long hot bath or shower. Meditate, do some yoga or say a little prayer. During the day exercise a little. 30 minutes of physical activity daily makes you enjoy a better night sleep. I started waking up every hour throughout the night. Told this to my doctor and he suggested I take Ambien 10mg. I heard horror stories about Ambien making you see horrible dreams, sleepwalking, even driving for MacDonald’s without realizing you left the house. My doctor assured me that ifI take it as prescribed and stay away from alcohol, I’ll be fine. And I am. The best sleeping pill ever.
