So think twice before drinking coffee after 5 pm.
2. Heavy and spicy food of the night

Any light exercise or walking throughout the day is not only good for your health, but also helps in getting deep and comfortable sleep at night. Yes, just avoid exercising just before bedtime, otherwise the sleep will run away.

5. Is your bedroom a gold room or storeroom?
Your bedroom is a place to sleep and relax. If the TV is running, dim light, or too much heat or noise, then your brain will never indicate that it is time to sleep. For good sleep, it is very important that your room be cold, dark and calm. Make it a ‘sleep shelter’.
