Create a bedroom environment that’s dark, quiet, and cool (between 60 and 67 degrees). Science proves that most of us get our best sleep in ambient temperatures.

Chamomile tea is a sleeping remedy that’s been used as a natural sleep aid since ancient times. Drinking a cup of Chamomile tea is associated with an increase in the body’s production of a chemical called glycine, which relaxes the nerves and acts as a mild sedative.

5. Get it on paper
