Follow a Regular Sleep Schedule
“Early to bed and early to rise keeps a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Well, it turns out that Old Ben may have known what he was talking about. Because a person’s sleep-wake cycle is regulated by the "circadian clock" in the brain, having a regular time to go to bed and a regular time to wake up can be extremely helpful. Unfortunately, this means you should try to adhere to the same schedule on the weekends and avoid the temptation to sleep in.

Establish a Regular Bedtime Routine
In order to make sure that they adhere to the fundamentals of the swing, professional golfers follow a pre-shot routine before every stroke. You can do the same thing when it is time to go to sleep. Scheduling a relaxing activity away from bright lights just before it is time to go to bed may be the perfect way to keep your mind from racing. Instead of paying bills or arguing about problems late at night, why not take a hot bath or practice meditation?

Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment
First of all, take the computer and television out of your bedroom. Remove bright lights and stop reading in bed. Instead, use the bed only for sleep and sex, in order to create the right kind of associations in your mind. And speaking of your bed, make sure you have a comfortable mattress and plenty of pillows. Most quality mattresses only last for about nine to 10 years before they need to be replaced. Check the bedroom for heat, noise and any other distractions that may interrupt your sleep. You may want to install a ceiling fan, wear ear plugs or listen to white noise.

Adopt an Exercise Regimen
Though it is best to finish your workouts at least a few hours before you go to sleep, research shows that regular exercise contributes to sounder sleep. Just another great reason to make time for exercise! You should also finish eating at least three hours before bedtime and avoid drinking caffeinated beverages after 4 p.m. Oh, and you may think that drinking alcoholic beverages late at night will help you sleep, but they really won’t. Alcohol disrupts the body and doesn’t promote natural sleep.

Keep a Sleep Journal
The British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge claimed that the poem "Kubla Khan" came to him in a dream. Though you may not win any literary awards for the contents of your bedside diary, it is important to keep a record of your sleep-related activities. Do you tend to wake up at the same time every night? Write it down. Are you waking up every hour on the hour? Write that down, too.

Another method not commonly used is meditation.

Sometimes many people are too bogged down by work or stress. With meditation, you can calm your mind and have a peaceful sleep.

Go to CD shop. Buy those music CDs of natural sounds. for examples, birds chips, ocean waves, rain, water falls, and etc. Some people do apply this kinda musical meditation during bed time.
