As a college student, I tend to have a hard time falling asleep. Here are some tips I’ve found to be quite helpful.

  1.  Make yourself ready for bed. Relax at least an hour before bedtime – bathe, drink some warm tea, get into your pajamas. Even try reading before bed.
  2. Make your bed as comfy as possible. I know that dorm beds can be pretty uncomfortable, so try to get a mattress bad, or just a blanket that you really like. Have good pillows.
  3. Dorm rooms can sometimes house parties, and it always seems like it’s the one right next to yours that is loud. Invest in some ear plugs, or even turn on something that will at least make a constant sound rather than something irregular.
  4. Wear comfy clothes. Stay in a comfy position. Don’t wear anything tight to bed. I’ve also heard that you should try going to sleep in the position that you tend to wake up in the morning.

Do you have any tips?
