How improve sleeping?

Lifestyle improvements

•   Avoid caffeine, coffee, tea, cocoa and cola. Try herbal or decaffeinated drinks instead.
•   Limit alcohol in the evening to one or two drinks, and avoid drinks that have disturbed your sleep in the past.
•   Get enough exercise. Fit people sleep better, on the whole, and if you haven't had any exercise during the day, it will be more difficult to sleep soundly. Consider going for a walk in the early evening; however, exercise too close to bed time will stimulate you and make it harder to relax for sleep. Yoga and meditation are also useful methods for combating stress.
•   Eat only a light meal in the evening, and avoid snacks. If you need a snack late at night, protein foods which are digested slowly are better than sugary carbohydrates which will give you an energy boost just when you need to relax.
