Keep your bed a space for sleep activity only (don't check emails or do work in bed!)
Turn off all electronic devices/screens at least 30 min prior
Find a comfortable temperature between 65 and 72 degrees is optimal for most
Slowly dim the lighting to start winding down the closer you get to wanting to go to sleep
Take a warm bath or shower to relax
8. Don't go to bed hungry but also don't each too much
