Directions:

Step 2: Eat right
Eating certain foods before bed will stand in the way of your sleep. Food that contains sugar, caffeine, and cheese makes it harder to fall asleep as your brain has the same reaction to it as to the blue light. These food keep your brain feel alert, even food containing lots of water can create similar issues.
Step 3: Stay out of bed
You can also sleep faster by reserving your bed exclusively for sleep. Our brain naturally associates behaviors in places together and recognizes the tasks you did and where you usually did them. Your brain becomes confused about which signal to release whether you should be alert and productive or relaxed.
Step 4: Don’t force it
No matter how much you want or have to sleep, stress and sleep just can’t mix together. Whether it’s physical or mental stress, you feel stimulated and alert, it floods your body with hormones like cortisol which supply you with an unwanted boost of energy. You can read or exercise to occupy your brain, or you can assess and find out what’s keeping you up at night or what worries you. Concentrate and focus on not giving yourself much pressure that hinders your sleep.
