Top Tips for Good Sleep Avoid caffeine (coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) and nicotine. Don't drink alcohol to "help" you sleep. Exercise regularly, but complete your workout at least three hours before bedtime. Establish a regular relaxing bedtime routine, such as taking a bath. Associate your bed with sleep - don't use it to work or watch television. If you often have insomnia, don't nap during the day. * IF you suffer from sleep disorders, visit National Sleep Foundation.
