Sweet Sleep

I am a type of person who wants eight hours of sleep (although sometimes it reaches ten). I would rather go home and sleep than to join the guys for a night out. And since I love sleeping, I have watched TV shows and read  some informational articles on how to have a good night's sleep. Try these tips and then tell me if it works for you ('coz it works for me).

1. Drink Milk and Eat Banana before sleeping.

2. Eat your dinner no less than three hours before going to bed.

3. Do not skip your dinner. You might wake up in the middle of the night due to starvation.

4. Don't drink coffee or anything that contains caffeine before you sleep.

5. Avoid exercising before you sleep.

6.  Keep your room clean,  dim and cool.
