More tips for getting a better night sleep

Personally, I have to sleep in a room that is pitch black. The smallest amount of light will wake me up and make it almost impossible to fall back asleep. I have thick curtains in my bedroom and also use an eye mask to block any light.

Ear plugs are also necessary for me since I tend to wake up with even the softest sound of my cat walking down the hallway.

Lastly, I try to avoid drinking anything several hours before I fall asleep. I have the worlds smallest bladder and even a glass of warm tea will wake me up in the middle of the night!
