Good habits for good sleep:

1. Exercise most days, even if it’s just to take a walk.

2. No caffeine after 6:00 p.m.

3. An hour before bedtime, avoid doing any kind of work that takes alert thinking. Addressing envelopes—okay. Analyzing an article—nope.

4. Adjust your bedroom temperature to be slightly chilly.

5. Keep your bedroom dark. Studies show that even the tiny light from a digital alarm clock can disrupt a sleep cycle.

6. Keep the bedroom as tidy as possible. It’s not restful to fight through chaos into bed.

If sleep won’t come:
7. Breathe deeply and slowly until you can’t stand it anymore.

8. If your mind is racing (you’re planning a trip, a move; you’re worried about a medical diagnosis), write down what’s on your mind.

9. Slather yourself with body lotion. This feels good and also, if you’re having trouble sleeping because you’re hot, it cools you down.

10. If your feet are cold, put on socks.

True. Some days, right after the exercises, feel sleeping like Amabel here.
No caffeine, period.
I address my envelopes at daytime. Night time is for analyzing articles.
But body temperature goes down at night too. It will be an Arctic circle by the time you wake up.
How are we to wake up if digital alarm clock disrupts a sleep cycle?
Check.
Can't stand it.
Instead of writing, I would rather email. But that would disrupt the sleep cycle then.
Takes too much time to do it myself.
Or put two blankets over you.

waisay on the serious note, I think people who don't put themselves underpressure or in other words, optimists usally don't have such issues. I dont have these kinda problems and I'm sure its becasue I'm always positive. Worrying too much effects the brain and hence the sleep.
