Having trouble getting a good night's sleep? These simple steps from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Medical College of Wisconsin can help you rest better:
Get about 30 minutes of exercise each day, preferably five to six hours before bedtime
Skip alcohol, caffeine and nicotine
Take time to relax before going to bed; reading or taking a warm bath work for many people
Sleep until the sun comes up and expose yourself to bright light in the morning to reset your body's clock
Keep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature
