Hello there....., Take steps to control stress, to increase your resilience and boost your self-esteem.... Reach out to family and friends, especially in times of crisis, to help you weather rough spells..... Don't put up with pain. If a painful condition bothers you, make sure the pain reliever you take is effective enough to control pain while you're sleeping..... Stick to a sleep schedule. Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day, including on weekends.....
