In yesterday's blog we listed tips 1-4. Here are tips 5-8 for sleeping well.
5. Turn off the TV. The TVs flickering light can go through your eyelids. If you need to have noise, turn on a fan or a radio. If you have to have light, use a night light.
6. Don't have that bedtime snack. Eating makes your body perk up again as it goes into the digestive mode.
7. Avoid nicotine and caffeine in the evening. This includes tea, coffee, cocoa and any kind of chocolate.
8. If you still have problems sleeping the melantonin supplement is an excellent non-prescription sleep aid. If you feel tired and worn out in the morning after taking melatonin the previous evening, only take 1/2 of a tablet the next night.
Have a great nights sleep,

Good list of beneficial sleep hints. I'd suggest one more, and that is to be sure you have a good and comfortable surface to sleep on. Some beds can add to muscle tension due to their construction and this can impair sleep.
An example of a type that works well for people is memory foam mattresses (or, toppers to be used with an existing mattress). These allow the body to release muscle tension while resting.
