It then knows a fixed time to sleep and a fixed time to wake up. On days when you wake up early or late, you will tend to feel sleepy at the same time when you get to your bed. Thus stick to your schedule to have a proper time of getting into bed at night.

3.) Don’t exercise at night as it increases the body temperature by releasing certain hormones thus preventing the body from going to sleep. It is better to exercise during the morning or in the evening.

4.) Don’t intake caffeine before sleeping. Tea or coffee is a complete no before getting into bed as it stimulates the mind preventing it from getting to sleep.

5.) Get into bed only when you are very sleepy. Try to sleep by stimulating your mind with beautiful thoughts and visions and even then if you fail to sleep within 15-20 minutes of getting into bed then read a book as it will help you in falling asleep.
