• Get up at the same time each morning
• Restrict your time in bed: don't spend time in your bed scrolling, watching TV shows (basically anything involving screen - don't fool yourself that optimizing screen light works - NO IT DOESN'T!), use bed only for sleeping and intimacy
• If you can't sleep - don't spend your time in bed "trying to sleep" - YOU'RE JUST TORTURING YOURSELF WITH THIS, get up, walk around, go to different room to watch TV or other relaxing activities
• If you start to worry or your mind enters "wondering about stuff" mode, break the cycle: say out loud STOP! and read some book/listen videos or audio books/something that will focus your thought process on one thing
• Basically, mind is your the worst enemy, and you need to "trick your mind" that you're completely relaxed. Sometimes it associates your room with negative feelings, so you feel like you better sleep on couch, for example. Try changing curtains, order of furniture or get a new bed sheets
• Focus on your breathing and try full body relaxation meditation (Personal experience: put your hands on your stomach, and focus on breathing on a way that you breath through your stomach, and not moving upper body - this is way more relaxing and can cut your time needed to fall asleep.)
• Make sure you expose yourself to daylight immediately after waking up - move those curtains, sing loudly, shake the body, you got this day!
• Daily exercise - but make sure it's not directly before bedtime
• Don't engage yourself into any stimuli activity before sleep
• Comfortable room temperature - for most people colder temperature works its thing for better sleep (get some fresh air in the room before sleep)
• Your room has to be dark and quite (Personal experience: as I mentioned previously, audio books or listening to videos/podcasts or white noise can be helpful for focusing mind. Most of authors stress about noise-free, so take this with a grain of salt)
• People reported that they sleep better in neat and tidy room
• Do not drink too much liquids before sleep (for obvious reasons)
• Cup of warm tea, especially if it contains lemon balm is okay
• Do not go hungry to bed, but don't eat too much. Avoid carbs and sugar before bedtime. Food inducing sleep: almonds, dark chocolate, cherries, ... (I keep almonds in bedroom for annoying sudden hungriness.)
• Avoid alcohol (Most of book recommends this, but one glass of red wine works fine for me. Please take this as personal experience, that isn't recommended by most authors)
• Avoid taking naps, even though you're feeling exhausted
• Take warm bath before sleep
• By some authors, smoking could disturb sleep
• Cut down caffeine (You already know this. I make sure I have only one strong morning coffee, and another lighter before 2pm)
• Check your analgesic pills, some of those may contain caffeine
• If you are wondering about problems or plans for tomorrow - get up and take some time (set timer for 10-15 min) to write about it or to plan your day.
• Change how you think: don't spend time angry at yourself thinking why is this happening to you (I may write another post about this)
• And last - make sleep routine with tips that works the best for your specific insomnia struggle. Our body LOVES routines.

Additionally, our body is programmed and made to constantly move. No matter how awful your night was, make sure you go out to the store, run, clean around and don't forget good breakfast. If your work is all about sitting, use breaks to stretch. Don't allow yourself to be surrender and to allow insomnia to take control of your life. We got this!
