If falling or staying asleep feels impossible, you’re not alone-but small changes can make a big difference. Sleep experts recommend:
 
•⁠  ⁠Stick to a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends, to set your body’s clock.
 
•⁠  ⁠Power down electronics at least an hour before bed; blue light from screens disrupts melatonin, your sleep hormone.
 
•⁠  ⁠Create a cool, dark, and quiet bedroom-ideally 65–68°F-with blackout curtains or a sleep mask.
 
•⁠  ⁠Avoid caffeine later than the middle of the day and abstain from liquor or large dinners near bedtime.
 
•⁠  ⁠Strive to practice relaxation skills like reading, calming music, or a hot bath prior to sleep.
 
Getting early morning sun may help get your internal body clock stronger.
