1. Lie down in bed only when sleepy. If you do not feel sleepy, do not force yourself to sleep.
2. Lead an active physical life. Exercises loosen the muscles and bring a restful sleep.
3. Use the bed only for sleeping; do not read, watch TV or eat in bed.
4. If unable to sleep, get up, go to another room and return to the bedroom only when sleepy.
5. Set the alarm and get up at the same time regularly every morning. Thus the body will acquire a sleep-wake rhythm.
6. Try to have natural sleep rather than make a habit of sleeping pills, which are dangerous. Sleep induced by pills is never refreshing.
7. Never worry about the number of hours you sleep. It is the quality of rest that counts. A short but deep sleep does far more good than a long disturbed one.
