Hello practo user I can understand your concerns regarding your health . It is suggested that you try and have a relaxing environment before you go to sleep , you can do this by taking a warm shower and then listening to some calming music or even practice guided meditation which can help clear your thoughts . Try and avoid caffeine or a heavy dinner prior to sleeping . Smoking before sleeping is also associated with a disturbed sleep . To help you quit smoking tell as many people as you can that you want to leave as to having a social circle which is motivating , try and avoid people who smoke around you as the cravings can be difficult to control , try and slowly reduce the amount of cigarettes as suddenly stopping is also difficult . You can also ask your trusted friends and family members to help motivate you to quit .
