Lying on your bed should be a stimulus to falling asleep. So, use your bed almost exclusively for sleep (sex is an exception). Too many people are apt to read, balance their checkbooks, eat or watch TV in bed when it should be reserved for sleep.
Good sleep comes from establishing reliable sleeping patterns. Browse through here some very simple proven guidelines to have better sleep. 
1. Lie down only when you're tired and want to go to sleep.
2. Do not use your bed for anything but sleep (and sex).
3. Don't stare at the clock. But if you can't fall asleep, get up and go to another room. Get back to bed when you're sleepy.
4. If you still can't fall asleep, repeat step 3 as often as necessary.
5. Set your alarm and get up at the same time every morning, regardless of how much you slept the night before.
6. Try not to nap during the day. Though, if you must, do it at the same time every day, and never more than an hour.
Tips for better daytime habits
• Do not nap during the day If you have trouble sleeping at night, try not to nap during the day because you will throw off your body clock and make it even more difficult to sleep at night. If you feel especially tired, and feel as if you absolutely must nap, be sure to sleep for less than 30 minutes, early in the day.
• Limit caffeine and alcohol Avoid drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages for several hours before bedtime. Even though alcohol may initially act as a sedative, it can interrupt normal sleep patterns.
• Don't smoke Nicotine is a stimulant and can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. A lot of over-the-counter and prescription dr 13f2 ugs disrupt sleep.
