stood, however, many of them can be treated. If you frequently experience excessive daytime sleepiness or have problems sleeping, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Mitler recommends that, before you go, you keep a sleep diary of when you usually go to bed, how long it takes you to fall asleep, when and how many times you wake during the night, and when you wake in the morning. The diary should also include what you ate that day, drinks you had at night containing caffeine or alcohol, use of medicines, smoking and exercise you've done. The records may show a pattern or give the doctor other clues to better diagnose your condition.

HealthPage Tips to getting a good night's sleep • Keep a regular sleep and wake schedule. • Avoid caffeine and cigarettes in the late afternoon and don’t drink alcohol to help you sleep. • Avoid going to bed on either a full or an empty stomach. • Use your bedroom primarily for sleeping. Sleep in a dark, quiet, wellventilated space with a comfortable temperature. • Relax before going to bed. Take a warm bath, listen to soothing music, meditate or try relaxation or breathing exercises. • Face your clock away from the bed to avoid focusing on time if you awake before morning. • If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes of going to bed or wake early and can’t get back to sleep, get out of bed and try a relaxing activity such as reading until you become drowsy. • Regular exercise can help improve certain sleep disorders. However, don’t exercise within two hours of bedtime. • Avoid household chores, paperwork or other stimulating activities for at least two hours before bedtime. • Use over-the-counter or prescription sleep aids only for short periods of time and under the direction of your doctor. Some sleep aids can make you drowsy during the day and cause other side effects.
