If you are suffering, here are some tips
1. Go to bed at the same time each night. Try to establish a sleep ritual
2. Keep the room dark and cold
3. Do something calming prior to bedtime. Take a warm bath (never an invigorating shower), read a boring book, or do something calming like meditating
4. Drink some warm milk (yes your grandma had it right).
5. Never excercise late at night, it will only stimulate your system and keep you awake
6. If you can't sleep, get up for a while and go do something calming and somewhat boring and then go back into the bed and try to sleep again
7. Use your bed only for sleep activities. Don't facebook, watch TV or anything else in your bed. Establish the ritual that the bed is for sleeping-it does make a difference!

Pleasant dreams
