- exercise. I lift weights and do some cardio. Ease into it as overdoing it can make it harder to sleep. Do in morning or afternoon, not evening.
- comfort. If your bed isn't comfortable get a new matress. It can make a world of difference.
- chamomile tea before bed. I drink two cups nightly.
- I supplement magnesium, and find that taking a big dose before bed both helps my sleep and mild jerks
- Make sure the room is dark. I use a sleep mask as otherwise I wake up at 5-6AM when the sun cracks thru the blinds
- Make sure the room is cool. My upstairs bedroom doesn't cool well via central air so I got a portable unit to assist
- Relax. One night of missed sleep won't kill you and if you can convince yourself of that, you are more likely to relax and fall asleep
- Deep breathing. If you can't fall asleep. Practice relaxation via deep, slow breathing in your belly, not your chest. It takes practice, but works great.
- Pzizz app. Awesome, awesome stuff. I like the relaxed breathing and sleep hypnosis sessions
- If your brain just won't stop, try some inositol. I take 3g (most pills are 500mg, so 6x) and that seems to work
- Some melatonin can help if you just can't get "sleepy". For something stronger, 50mg of benedryl knocks me out good. I try not to take either of these very often though.
