    Sleeping hygiene is a good point. No phone in bed.

    But also try to make it cozy

    Have a nice duvet cover, I like cotton. No synthetics. Change it more often.

    Temperature in your bed room should be lower, open your window before going to bed.

    Have good curtains. But not too dark. Whenever I have a window shutter and I close it completely, I just don’t wake up and sleep over 8-10 h.

    Here are my things I do when I can’t sleep

    If my feed are cold, wear socks, or cloth but don’t heat the room too much.

    Try to sleep in a different room (if you can). When I am just too active I move to my sofa for a change. It really helps me.

    Important question. Are you alone or is someone next to you. If your sleeping schedule or preferences don’t mix with your partners, try separate beds. Cuddling sounds cute until you cannot sleep because of a snoring person next to you. And don’t be angry when your partner prefers to be separate.

      I follow all those ideas except the couch. When I can’t sleep I change the scene, I sit in my bed and start reading. Eventually I’m sleepy enough to lie down again.

      If I can’t sleep again I go back to reading. This is just to not associate lying down in bed and not sleeping. Reading in another room is probably best though.
