For instance, if your habit is to read a few minute of book at 9:45, a warm bath at 10:00 and lying in bed at 10:15 and doze off by 10:30 and you keep this routine for 2 weeks. Naturally you will start to yawn almost every time you have your pre-sleeping bath since the body is used to the sleeping cycle.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol after late evening - Caffeine keeps you awake by disturbing your brain to prevent you from falling asleep. Avoid alcohol as they might cause you to wake up in the middle of the night

Do regular exercises - This keeps the body healthy as well as physically tired in order for you to rest well. However, avoid over exercising as this might cause you to muscle pain or ache which prevents you from falling asleep easily.

Do not exercise 4-5 hours before hitting the bed to allow the body to have the time to cool down.

Avoid taking long naps - Taking long naps interferes with the body's ability to sleep at night. If you need to, take short naps of 15-30 minutes to prevent yourself from falling into the deeper stages of sleep.
