Came across this article at http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060323_sleep_tips.html so i thought it would be nice to share. Here is the remedy if u are having sleepless nights:
Do not take sleeping pills. This includes over-the-counter pills and melatonin.
Don't go to bed until you're sleepy. If you have trouble sleeping, try going to bed later or getting up earlier.
Get up at the same time every morning, even after a bad night's sleep. The next night, you'll be sleepy at bedtime.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep, get out of bed and return only when you are sleepy.
Avoid worrying, watching TV, reading scary books, and doing other things in bed besides sleeping and sex. If you worry, read thrillers or watch TV, do that in a chair that's not in the bedroom.
Do not drink or eat anything caffeinated within six hours of bedtime.
Avoid alcohol. It's relaxing at first but can lead to insomnia when it clears your system.
**Spend time outdoors. People exposed to daylight or bright light therapy sleep better.
I think the last 1 would be most suitable for active pple like us!
