Buy a New Mattress
Don't even try to comparison shop. Every mattress in every store has a different name. And every owner of every mattress shop says that the mattresses in his shop are different and better than every other mattress shop on the planet. The truth is that the right mattress for you is the one that you try in your home for 30 days. Find a mattress shop that offers that option, pick out the mattress that you and your partner think is the most comfortable, make sure it has a guarantee, and buy it. Don't worry about coils and foam and luxury toppers. The mattress that allows you to sink into a deep, natural sleep and wake up in the morning without aches and pains is the one you want.
Chill Before Bed
Lower the temperature of your bedroom before you climb into bed. Lower temperatures signal your body it's time to sleep.
Soak
A hot bath also helps you lower your body's temperature. Yeah, your temperature goes up while you're in the bath, but your body's response to the heat will be to drop your temperature way down low.
Schedule a Massage
Massage interrupts the neurohormones connected with sleeplessness and almost manually imposes sleep on you. If you can't afford a massage, go to a massage school. You can get one there for $15.
Shut the drapes
You sleep better in the dark. If your eyelids flutter open as you move from one stage of sleep to another, even streetlights or a full moon can wake you up.
Ditch the night lights
You can also get rid of the clock radios with lighted displays. It turns out your brain can misinterpret even such dim lights and wonder if it should wake you up. Dark inhibits the brain's biological clock. It tells your brain it's time to sleep.
Pull on socks
There's no solid explanation for it, but studies have found that wearing socks to bed helps you sleep. It may be that warming your feet and legs allows your internal body temperature to drop.
