This proved very beneficial to their health.

Avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea and sodas during the evenings. These might be a cause of keeping you awake for a long time in bed. Avoid watching television before bedtime. Your mind may dwell on the programs you watch on TV long after you have stopped watching. So you might struggle to sleep.

Don't discuss or read about things that make you excited or angry just before you go to bed. Otherwise you may find it difficult to get those things out of your mind. You will think about such things even while lying in bed, making it difficult to sleep.
