Q:When I can’t fall asleep, should I stay in bed and keep
trying or get up and do something?
A: It is important to prepare yourself for the resting period at night. Follow this simple regime:

should go to bed no later than 10PM.
Take a 15-minute relaxing (not vigorous) walk in the fresh air about one hour prior to going to bed. Try to clear your daily
