Simple tips: fixed sleep time, even on weekends. No phone 1 hour before bed. Warm shower helps a lot. And sometimes, just reading a boring book does the trick for me. Try these, they're free!

A dark, quiet, cool room is super important. And try to avoid heavy meals close to bedtime. If you're stressed, a little meditation or deep breathing exercises can really calm your mind down before you hit the pillow.

Oh, I was struggling with this so much just a few months back! What worked for me was making a proper night routine – a cup of chamomile tea, some light stretching, and absolutely no screens. It takes time, but it really helps.

My mother always said a light head massage with warm oil helps, and it does for me sometimes. But if you have serious trouble, don't hesitate to see a good doctor, okay? They know best for our health.

Honestly, ek lambi thakaan wali meeting does the trick for me! Jokes aside, I try to cut caffeine after afternoon and sometimes just listening to some really boring podcast works better than counting sheep. Ugh, sleep.
