1. Figure out exactly how many hours you should get.

Read about this in more detail at The National Sleep Foundation.

2. Know your stages of sleep, and plan your sleep schedule around them.

You don’t want your alarm to go off when you’re smack in the middle of deep sleep.

3. Try to sleep in a position that minimizes your chronic pain, if you have any.

4. Pick a couple of these tricks to help yourself pass out.

5. Like doing some yoga before tucking yourself in.

6. Or some basic meditation.

7. Figure out a routine that works for you.

This routine is a good place to start.

8. Make sure small things aren’t sabotaging your sleep time.

9. Cool off if your bed always makes you feel too warm.

Particularly helpful in the summertime.

10. Make a warm shower part of your routine.

11. Learn how swapping out wall art or adding a few plants could make your bedroom a nicer place to doze.

This is one that takes more investment, both time- and money-wise. But it’s something to keep in mind.

12. Consider supplementing your nightly rest with naps.

But if you have serious trouble falling asleep at bedtime, napping too late in the day may make it even harder to doze off at night.

13. Seriously, napping can be great.

14. Figure out a routine that will actually have you ~enjoying~ your mornings.

Anything is possible.

15. If you have kids, helping them sleep better will help you sleep better, too!

16. If you sleep with someone else who snores, talk to them about how they can fix it.

Or maybe you’re the one who snores. In which case: do this for the sake of your partner. It might help you sleep more deeply, too!

17. Figure out a couple-friendly sleep position that doesn’t interfere with anyone’s comfort.

18. And one more time, because you’ve probably forgotten what the first chart said: GET ENOUGH SLEEP!
