Falling asleep isn't always as simple as placing your head upon a pillow and shutting your eyes. Thoughts, worries and discomfort all have a way of worming their way into your mind, preventing you from falling asleep. Fortunately, there are quite a few positive things you can do to restore sleep

(First step) Treat your sleeping space as sacrosanct.
- It should be comfortable, warm, dark and pleasant. It should be free of distractions. And it should be a place of routine.

(2) Control the temperature.
-The optimal sleep temperature varies by person but usually lies somewhere between 60.8 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (16 - 20 degrees Celsius

(3)Adjust the lighting.
Most people find it easiest to sleep in total darkness. If that's not possible for you, though, you can still make some small fixes.

(5)Get cozy. Are you as comfortable as possible?
Position: Always choose the right position that works best for you, whether you're a hip, back, or stomach sleeper. Also, make sure your pillow is in the right spot
Clothing: Try putting on loose cotton pajamas or a long nightshirt or just bare naked

(6)Make a sleep mask. If you're really struggling

(7) relax

(8)Read.
Focus your mind on only this one thing, instead of racing through the day's activities. Read something calming or, perhaps, dull; for example, if you're reading your textbook in bed that's fairly guaranteed to send you nodding off!

(9)Use breathing techniques.
Deep breathing can help you relax enough to fall asleep. Lie on your back in bed, watching or feeling your stomach rise, and then breathe.

(10)Use your imagination.
The time between laying your head on the pillow and falling asleep can be a time to plan a lucid dream, or just to let your mind wander and be as imaginative as you like. Lost in the world of imagination, you may just be lucky enough not to notice you've drifted off

(11)Get out of bed and distract yourself temporarily.
Do something dull: Read a boring book, a work paper, or watch something mindless on TV like the news. Do something you've been putting off for a while because you're afraid it will be too boring!
