- Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. This is by far the most reliable way of resetting your internal clock.
- If you wake up frequently during the night, try going to bed later and squeezing the hours of sleep you do get into a continuous cycle.
- Maintain a no-gadgets rule in the bedroom. The bed is for sleep and intimacy — nothing else.
- Avoid large meals, alcohol and exercise before bedtime.
