Blackout Curtains
Darkness is your best friend. The light that seeps in through your curtains can keep your mind awake. Our minds tend to automatically associate light with day, so they’ll wake us up at the slightest hint of daylight.
With blackout curtains, you won’t have to worry about moonlight, sunlight, or any other kind of light. It’ll keep your room completely dark and create the perfect environment for sleep. For better results, be out during the day so your body can recognise the darkness as ‘sleep time.’

Set Alarms
If you’re having trouble falling asleep, then chances are that your body doesn’t know when to go to sleep. Establish a routine sleep cycle. Wake up every morning at the same time and go to bed at the same time.
Set alarms for both or either if you have to and don’t break routine. It takes about 66 days to truly form a habit, so you have some time to get your night routine sorted.

A Good Mattress
Are aches and pains keeping you from falling asleep? The problem might lie in your mattress.
All mattresses are not made equal. There are specific types of mattresses you need for your body to be comfortable. The ultra soft, hotel mattresses are some of the worst for your back no matter how heavenly they seem.
It might be worth investing in a new mattress according to your specific needs. At the very least, your aches and pains will go down.

It is proven to reduce anxiety, ease pain, and calm the mind. Basically, it addresses the root cause of your sleeplessness and helps you fall asleep deeply.

Essential Oils
Lavender is a popular essential oil that can help you sleep. It's also one of the most affordable and easy to find.
Essential oils are concentrated liquids that contain the aroma of plants. Although they're used in aromatherapy, they also have physical effects on your body.
The scent of lavender oil relaxes your nervous system, helping you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. It's also been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood and decrease depression symptoms.
-
White Noise Machines or Playlists
White noise machines produce a constant sound that masks other noises, like traffic or other people in your house. The constant sound makes it easier to fall asleep, but it also helps keep you asleep by masking noises that could wake you up throughout the night.
A white noise machine is especially useful if you live in an apartment building where there are always people passing by your bedroom window or if you live near a busy street.
Alternatively, you can also try ‘white noise’ music on any music app on your phone. If you can’t find anything, whale sounds are a great alternative.
-
Dress For Sleep
This means putting on loose-fitting clothing — or even better, nothing at all — when you go to bed at night. Wearing tight clothes can cause restricted blood flow and disrupt your body temperature, which makes it harder for you to fall asleep quickly.
It also makes it harder for your brain and body temperature to regulate themselves throughout the night, causing restless tossing and turning as your body tries to find its ideal temperature range.
If you have trouble falling asleep because you're too hot or too cold while trying to sleep, make sure that you dress appropriately before bedtime so that we don't end up kicking off all of our covers in an attempt
