Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

You need to follow proper sleep hygiene. This includes the following:

1) Get into a routine with your sleep times. Get up at the same time each morning, even if you have not had a good night's sleep. Don't sleep during the day, and don't go to bed early to try and get more sleep.

2) Take some physical exercise during the day.

3) Avoid exercise two hours before bedtime.

4) Avoid watching disturbing or violent films prior to bedtime.

5) Avoid drinking caffeine (tea, coffee, cola) in the evening after 6 pm.

6) Avoid heavy meals at least two hours before bedtime.

7) Avoid alcohol in the evening.

8) You should associate your room with sleep: avoid having a TV or radio in your bedroom.

9) Your bedroom should be warm and familiar with a comfortable bed and duvet, etc.

10) Use aromatic oils in the bath or on your pillow, such as lavender, which can help relaxation.

11) Use relaxation techniques, like yoga or progressive muscular relaxation exercises.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
