Sleep hygiene is very essential in promoting good night's sleep. Try these tips; 1. Limiting daytime naps to 30 min. 2. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine close to bedtime. 3. Exercise to promote good quality sleep. 4. Avoid certain food that can be disruptive right before sleep such as heavy foods, fatty or fried meals, spicy dishes, citrus fruits and carbonated drinks. 5.
