RECOMMENDATIONS Tips for nodding off



Having trouble falling asleep? Here are some tips that sleep experts recommend:
Make your bedroom more comfortable, keep it cool and quiet.
Get up and do something else if you have trouble sleeping. Then, go back to bed.
Drink warm milk or hot water before you go to bed.
Take a warm bath, read a little or listen to some quiet music in the evening.
Get fresh air and exercise during the day, but remember: Exercise before bed can keep you awake.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
Don't take naps during the day.
Avoid coffee, tea or soft drinks in the evening.
Limit your consumption of alcohol -- it can keep you awake.
Smoking cigarettes can also act as a stimulant that disturbs your sleep.
