Take a warm bath. Research suggests that taking a hot bath about ninety
minutes before going to bed can help you fall asleep. The rise in body temperature,
followed by the decline in your core temperature, tells you it's bedtime.
Sleep in a cooler room - between 60-65 degrees. A warm room impedes sleep
and causes more awakenings. Turn on the air-conditioner to keep you cool and
comfortable. The "white noise" effect can also mask noise from the outside.
For background noise try ear plugs or "sleep CD's." Don't forget to bring along
your earplugs and any CDs you may have that are designed to help you sleep.
