How to Sleep Well
Get some exercise at least three hours before bed.
Go for a run, hit the gym, take long walk, or do some stretches to help you get your heart rate going before you ease into bed. Doing this at least three hours before bed will work. If you work out shortly before bed, then you will feel more awake than ever.
If you want to make it easier for you to fall asleep, then you have to get used to falling asleep at around the same time every night and waking up around the same time every morning. That way, your body will get used to feeling more tired at the same time every night.
Stick to the fifteen-minute rule.
If you've been lying in bed for more than fifteen minutes and are unable to fall asleep because you're not tired, then try something else. If you continue to lie there, your mind will continue churning, and you may even work yourself up and feel even more awake. Once fifteen minutes have passed and you're no closer to falling asleep, do something else. Read a magazine. Pace around your room. Sit up and stare at your hands.
Think about everything you did that day.
Another way to calm your mind is to go through everything you did that day, up to the most boring little detail. Try to break it down hour by hour and see how specific you can get and how many things you can end up remembering.
