• 
Develop a bedtime routine: In the hour before going to sleep, relax 
with a quiet activity such as reading or taking a bath. Avoid computer, 
phone, and TV screens before bedtime, since the blue light in these 
devices can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
• 
Create a comfortable sleep environment: An ideal sleep 
environment is quiet, dark, and cool. Most sleepers find comfort in a 
room between 65º to 68º F.
• 
Use the bed for sleep and sex: Avoid other activities in bed such as 
working or eating. Additionally, if you are unable to fall asleep after 
about twenty minutes, get out of bed and read or do another quiet 
activity until you are tired.
• 
Exercise regularly: Among the many benefits of regular exercise is 
an easier time falling asleep and staying asleep. Experts recommend 
that most adults get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-level 
exercise such as walking or biking each week. However, avoid 
exercising two to three hours before bedtime.
• 
Nap strategically: Afternoon naps after 3 p.m. can make falling 
asleep at night difficult. If rest during the day is necessary, try to limit 
a nap to only twenty minutes earlier in the day.
