Sleep habits for a good night's rest
Stay away from caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, particularly later in the day.
Have a light snack (but avoid eating a large meal) shortly before bedtime.
Go to bed and get up at the same times each day, even on weekends.
Get regular exercise early in the day.
Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. A fan or soft music can help disguise distracting bedtime noise.
Use your bed for only sleep and sex.
Before bedtime, do muscle-relaxing exercises or take a warm bath.
Don't take sleeping pills unless your doctor prescribes them.
Avoid daytime naps unless they last less than 1 hour and are taken before 3 PM.
Try counting sheep or counting backward, which can lull some people to sleep.
If you lie in bed awake for more than 30 minutes, get up, go to a different room and read or watch television, and return to bed when you feel sleepy
Five keys to optimal sleep
Rise and shine. Spending a few minutes in the early morning sun helps your biological clock align itself with the cycles of nature. Bright morning light stimulates the release of serotonin, the hormone of wakefulness, and helps the brain reduce levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
Have your evening meal early. Finish your evening meal by 6 or 6:30 p.m. so your body's digestive processes can be at rest when you go to bed. If you need to change your meal times earlier in the day to do this, then work backward accordingly.
Go to bed at 10 p.m. Your body was designed to sync with the cycles of nature -- including daylight and darkness -- with the optimal time for sleep falling between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. If you're in the habit of staying up much later than 10 p.m., begin getting up progressively earlier by a few minutes each morning, over several days. This will make it easier to go to bed earlier in the evening until you reach your target.
Reduce stimulants. If you find it difficult to get to sleep around 10 p.m., try cutting stimulants out of your diet -- particularly caffeine products like coffee, chocolate and black tea -- even in the morning. These take a long time to be eliminated from your body, and their effects can linger into the evening.
Quiet your mind. If your body is tired but your mind is active, try meditation or prayer. But don't make it hard work; use a simple and gentle form, such as repetition of a thought or phrase, or just focus on following your breath in and out. Relaxation music is another excellent way to soothe an anxious or active mind.

Try taking melatonin. It's all natural with NO side-effects and does not cause dependency. Also, dim the lights 1 hour before bedtime.
During this time, do not watch TV. - Read a book, magazine or newspaper. Listen to some soft music and just relax.

I went and bought a 450 thread counts sheets and I wash
it before I laid it on my bed. Wow I feel like I am in heaven.
And you need to listen to ambient music with the volume
very low. It's so soothing. I got rid of all my old cheap sheet.
Buy it and try it and compare it. ;) I'm sure you'll know the
different!
