It is important for all of us to sleep well. Here are five top tips for getting a good night's sleep.
Tip one. Don't go to bed with the television on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean you don't really sleep well, so turn it off!
Tip two: Don't think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and full of ideas it takes longer to get to sleep.
Tip three: Don't play games on your phone before you go to sleep. They make your brain too busy and active.
Tip four: Turn off your phone when you go to bed. If possible, leave your phone in another room.
Tip five: Play music but don't play it too loud. Turn the sound down low.
