Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.  This can help maintain your body's internal clock, allowing you to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

A little before you approach your bedtime, dim the lights and try to relax your mind; this can stimulate melatonin production in your body.

The screens on your phones, tablets, and laptops emit blue light, which can impair the production of the sleep hormone melatonin in your body.  Aim to switch off electronic gadgets at least an hour before bed.
