2. Establish a regular bedtime so your body knows when it will be expected to go to sleep.
3. Create a routine that will relax you. A hot bath or shower can relax your muscles. Cooling down after the hot water, encourages your body to feel sleepy. It is recommended that you shower or bath 60 to 90 minutes before you go to bed to allow your body to relax, and for you to feel sleepy.

5. Remember not go to bed panicking about whether you are going to be able to get to sleep. Go to bed with the perspective that you are creating the right setting to encourage your body to fall asleep. That means making yourself comfortable, spend some time checking that your body is relaxed, and focus your mind on something calm and pleasant.
