Engaging in regular daytime exercise, establishing a quiet bedtime routine, and soaking in a warm bath before bedtime are all recommended techniques for improving the quality of your sleep. Watching suspenseful television shows, violent videos, or playing exciting computer games before bedtime can stimulate the brain and make it difficult to fall asleep. Engaging in strenuous exercise just before bedtime can also make it difficult to fall asleep, as it raises body temperature and increases alertness. Taking afternoon naps can disrupt the natural sleep-wake cycle and make it difficult to fall asleep at night.
