  1. Keep your smart phone, computer and TV away from your bedroom, and avoid looking at them for an hour before bed.

  2. A nice cup of hot chocolate and some lavender spray on your pillow, I get it from Avon xxc

  3. Well I don’t get any good nights sleep but it’s essential for me to have the window open otherwise I stand no chance!

  4. Make sure your bedroom is as dark as it can be, and make sure there’s plenty of fresh air and ventilation!

  5. Get into a good routine, no tablets in the bedroom, no caffeine in the afternoon…

    …(and ideally stop other cats coming into your garden so yours doesn’t scream like a baby when it happens…)

  6. I find getting ready for bed at least an hour beforehand helps get you in the mindset, especially if you are normally a busy person. Having a wash, brushing my teeth, making sure the house in in order and then deliberately reading a book or watching a programme for an hour to enjoy the peace and quiet helps me unwind and nod off. And the bedroom must be cold, not only for the fresh air but it makes snuggling under the duvet much more attractive!

  7. Winding down in the evening and no gadgets before bedtime. Make sure room not too warm and no light coming through

  8. My tip for a good night sleep is pretty obvious really, NO technology, a dark welcoming comfortable bedroom and soft lighting if you want to read to unwind before sleepy time!

  9. Unfortunately I dont sleep at all well but I do find that reading a few chapters before I turn in,does seem to help.That and cuddling the dog!

  10. a nice warm bath, no caffeine before bed and turn your phone off before you go upstairs so you aren’t tempted to browse social media!

  11. Try to go to sleep and get up at the same time everyday, get as much natural sunlight as possible, move vigorously during the day – don’t sit for more than an hour, limit caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and big meals at night, take time for relaxing activities before sleep and create a calm and restful sleep environment.

  12. Make sure it’s not too hot. Make sure you don’t use screens like phones and tablets just before bed. And have a calming theme in your bedroom/sleeping area.

  13. A nice firm pillow and mattress helps to have a good nights sleep and i always have a cup of camomile tea before bedtime too.

  14. I use a lavender sleep spray on my pillowcases 🙂 Good pillows are so important and I need some new ones! Fingers crossed x

  15. A decent mattress & pillows. Clean bedding. No alcohol. No ‘electronics’ for at least half an hour before bed time, instead just relax, if you live with someone else just have a quiet chat or enjoy some soothing music together.

  16. I always sleep better when Im apart from my partner so I would say the top tip is to kick him out of bed!

  17. For a good night’s sleep you need to be comfy, warm and have a drink of milk before bed… sends me off like a baby every time!

  18. I have the window open so it’s cool and I sleep with a lavender bag under my pillow and a cat at my feet to help me sleep.
    When it’s really hot I pop a water bottle in the freezer for a few hours to keep me cool through the night x

  19. Keep phones, tablets, laptops, etc. in a different room. This way, you won’t look at it throughout the night checking messages, which will result in a better night’s sleep.

  20. Having a nice warm bath always helps me and not drinking too much fluids before you go to bed 🙂

  21. The latest scientific study about getting a good night’s sleep says the best thing is having a purpose in life to wake up for the following day. It’s true: when I’m following my favourite band on the road, I get fewer hours’ sleep than when I’m grinding away at the boring day job where I’m not respected, but I feel like I’ve slept better and am more able to face the day.

  22. I always put a few drops of lavender on my pillow to get a good night sleep and also drink chamomile tea

  23. stick to a routine – hot drink small snack and not too late to bed – get up and enjoy the morning

  24. Getting rid of clutter! If our bedroom’s cluttered up with clothes, books etc I find it so much harder to get off to sleep…a tidy room works wonders!

  25. Keep the room cool with a fan and window open, and dark with black-out blinds and have no caffeine from afternoon onwards

  26. I like a warm bath and then some reading time, and I try to get to sleep at a regular time each night.

  27. I use anti-histamines prescribed by my doctor, but also find that lavender mist sprayed on the bedclothes is also a good help

  28. I’m a severe insomniac so not sure I’m the right person to offer tips. I avoid caffeine, screens etc after midday

  29. Try to unwind before actually going to bed, so sit quietly for a little while with a hot drink.

  30. Make sure when you buy a new mattress you choose one that is right for you, after all, you spend about a third of your life in bed.

  31. Really good bedding – nice quality, good weight and no buttons, sequins or other embellishments to irritate you during the night.

  32. Ensure the room is the right temperature, there’s nothing more irritating than hot legs!

  33. We use to let our two dogs sleep on the floor in our room but had to put them out as they keep waking us up to get up on the bed! They sleep in their beds now in the kitchen. Best decision ever. Great night sleep now!

  34. Regularly wash your bedding – clean bedding helps you stay cool and sleep soundly. And it smells niiiice.

  35. A good routine, no computer or phone, read a bit, a hot drink if you want, and go to bed at more or less the same time each night

  36. I’m not the best person to answer this as I don’t pay much attention to these tips myself, lol! I either play video games or watch TV or a film before bed, keep my phone beside it…yet I still sleep well!

  37. For me, the best thing is to get rid of my partner and dog for the night, if it’s not one, it’s the other waking me up!

  38. Before I had kids I actually used to have a slice of toast, a few cubes of cheese and a tall glass of milk – worked a treat! Now I’m so exhausted from the kids I just collapse anyway!

  39. A nice bath, fresh clean pyjamas and bedding, cocoa before bed and make sure the room has no noise/lights from electrical appliances, lastly blackout curtains/blinds are a godsend!

  40. I don’t have any trouble sleeping, but notice I keep stiller since we’ve had a new firm mattress.

  41. I don’t have an ideal way to ensure I get a good night’s, most of the time I just hope that I’m going to enjoy my sleep

  42. i have a lumie light which gradually decreases in light until it goes off! i actually havent stayed awake to see it go off yet so its working a treat!

  53. I go to bed half an hour earlier than I’m looking to sleep and I read a book to wind down.

I find this stops me thinking of things before i go to sleep then worrying i wont remember by morning.

  67. If you lay there with things running around in your head, keep a pad and pen next to the bed and write down things you need to remember, or try keeping a diary and sit and write before u go to bed. Sometimes getting it all down on paper can help.
