Some (Pretty Straight-forward) Tips for Better Sleep:

• Caffeine is a stimulant. Avoid it 4-6 hours before bedtime.

• Avoid heavy meals before sleeping. If you need a light snack, stay away from protein and stick to carbohydrates. Research shows that small snacks rich in carbohydrates may help sleep.

• Try to unwind an hour before bedtime. Turn off the TV and the computer. Relax.

• Make your bedroom your haven for sleep and other "bedroom activities" only. No TV, radio, eating, reading or working allowed!
