1. Set your phone out of reach before bed.

2. Cool it on the pre-sleep margaritas.

3. Don’t exercise right before bed.

4. Dim your lights in the evening.

- If it’s light around you, your body says it’s time to be awake.
- If it’s dark, it’s time to assume your oddly gymnastic position in your bed and sleep.
5. Stop sleeping in a sauna.
It dosen’t matter if you sleep naked or clad in 8 layers: if you’re hot in bed, your sleep will suck. If you’re sweating during sleep, or if you wake up looking like an ogre leaving a swamp, maybe it’s time to ditch some of the layers. Or, if it’s summer, be a minimalist when it comes to your nighttime accoutrement. Whatever you need to do to shed the heat, do so. However, I can’t prescribe nudity for you, so if you’re going nude and someone stumbles upon your bareness: it’s your fault and I’m innocent.6. Watch the caffeine in the evening.

7. You worry about tomorrow too much.

So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.Truly, even if something harrowing is happening to you tomorrow (and you’re sure of it…), don’t sweat it. Your sleep–your well-being–is more important than whatever tomorrow holds. So sleep soundly. But don’t let a leg hang off the bed… ’cause… you know. boogeyman.
