There Are Ways To Get Better Sleep
Lack of exercise can contribute to insomnia. Now you have another reason to exercise (aside from health, weight loss, etc.) -it's a great way to help you fall asleep at night. Your body naturally needs more rest when its been physically active than when you've been sedentary. It is important, however, not to try to do a full workout too close to your bedtime. When you're trying to sleep, you don't want your body to be all pumped up and ready for more action; you need to put quite a few hours in between your workout and bedtime. There are many types of exercise programs that will make you healthier and allow you to sleep better, and if you're not sure where to begin, join a gym (or go more often if you're already a member) and schedule an appointment with a personal trainer.
Scientists have proven that people sleep better in rooms that are cool. Everyone knows how hard it is to sleep when it is hot, so summers become a problem, but colder months are not much of a problem. Have a fan handy or an air conditioner that you can use to keep the room at a constant cool temperature during your sleeping hours. Background noises might keep you awake, but your fan or air conditioner can be used as a "white noise" machine to block the sound.
Sleep is easier to achieve if the room is dark. Many people can't fall asleep in a room that is too light, and they get frustrated, but it should be a no brainer that they should make their room dark. Sure, if you're tired enough the amount of light won't matter. There are many reasons for sleep troubles, and one of those can be fixed by making your room dark, and letting your brain know that it is night. To help shift workers fall asleep easier when they get home after a shift, blackout curtains will make their room dark even though the sun is shining.
