Use a Calming Pre-Sleep Routine
Try to enter sleep as calm as possible. Helpful options mentioned include meditation, deep breathing, a warm bath, prayer, or reading a comforting book. Avoid going to sleep anxious or hyped up, and avoid highly exciting or novelty-heavy content such as stress-inducing video games; choose material that is calming and not too exciting or too boring.
