Exercise, but not right before your bedtime. The key to falling asleep fast is to put your mind and body into a relaxed state.

If you must have a soda, make sure that it’s decaffeinated. Speaking from experience, I once drank 2 cups of Pepsi before I “went to sleep”. Needless to stay, I had a very long night.

Try not to get into arguments with family members of friends before you go to bed. This is pretty self explanatory.

Try taking a nice warm bath before you go to sleep. This will relax you. Just make sure that when you do it not to close to your bed time because your heart rate goes up in warm water.

Drink a warm cup of milk, maybe with some honey added in. Just make sure that you still brush your teeth before you go to bed or else the milk and/or honey will start rotting your teeth away.

Exercise, but not 4 or so hours before you go to sleep. The more energy you use up during the day, the more tired and ready to sleep you’ll be come bedtime. If you exercise close to your bedtime, your mind and body will not be in a relaxed state.

Read a book. It helps many people relax and fall asleep.
