How often do you get a good, relaxing sleep? Nothing affects our days more than insomnia. When you had a long night, trying as hard as you could to get at least a few hours of sleep but with no results, how could you be productive the day after?
If you’re one of those who just can’t fall asleep as soon as they put their heads on the pillow, you should try some of these tricks.
Firstly, you have to reduce the amount of time you spend in front of the TV or on the computer before you go to sleep. Studies have shown that people who spend a few hours on these devices before bed have a bad sleep quality, no matter how many hours they actually sleep.
Watching TV might affect you because you’re exposing yourself to a kind of light that keeps your brain alert for no reason.
Besides that, I’m sure it would help you if you would do a little workout before going to bed. Any kind of exercise you choose to do will burn out your energy and will prepare your body for the amount of sleep it needs to recover that lost energy.
Along with physical exercise, there are some foods that can help you get a nice sleep, like chamomile tea, warm milk, bananas, almonds and even potatoes. Also, you should avoid coffee and cigarettes for 2 hours before going to bed.
There are other simple tricks you could try, like having a warm bath right before bed. It will relax you after a hard day and it will make you want to go to bed. Also, make sure that there’s not too much light in your bedroom, and that the room temperature is a little chilly, between 16 and 19° C.
Besides all that, you shouldn’t concentrate only on the appearance of your room. It should also be cozy and comfortable, so try to invest in a nice pillow and a really good mattress.
One last advice, and maybe the most important, is to avoid staying in bed when you can’t sleep. If you’re feeling stressed or agitated and you can’t fall asleep, you should get up, fix yourself a nice cup of warm milk or tea and try to relax. Staying in bed when you’re anxious will only make it worse.

I would totally agree with you that we should not spend more time infront of the screens before going to the sleep. I know it is bad but i have developed this habbit of using phone in my blanket untill I fall asleep even before this I used to read a book and it was more productive.
I don't have problem in falling asleep but during night I wake up number of times, though it doesn't hurt my sleeping but I would wake up and sit for some time and then will sleep again.

The main thing is to save your bed for sleep and sex.
Sitting in bed and working, surfing the Internet, or watching TV can lead to insomnia :)

Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep and/or get enough sleep, which can eventually cause many physical and emotional problems. It's estimated that approximately 95% of Americans deal with bouts of insomnia during their lifetime. Chronic insomnia lasts for a month or longer. Curing both acute and chronic insomnia often requires a multi-factorial approach including reviewing your medications and daily routines as well as changing your sleeping habits and diet.

Very informative @jwolf i have heard of insomnia but since am not in that category i don't bother with its cure but knowledge is power now i know lots of good and less stressful remedy to control insomnia it would he very privileged of me to even share my own view when issues arises just to enlighten others on it. Its very less strenuous on how to control insomnia but the question i have to ask is that little ones that get so much involve during their tender age watching TV are they prone to insomnia? And i think is it because of how babish they are treated like the food they eat and milk they drink and their playful activities that makes them sleep so fast at night? Because I have a cousin he watches cartoon alot and plays alot,he barely sleep at noon but he goes fast asleep at night . I guess so.. thanks for this information and sharing with steemians.
