BE COMFORTABLE…A TIDY BED, CLEAN SHEETS, A QUIET SPACE
SLEEP INA DARKENED AND WELL-VENTILATED ROOM
KEEP PAPER & PENCIL NEXT TO THE BED TO RECORD REMINDERS OR
WORRIES (THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT)

DON’T-

DRINK ALCOHOL BEFORE BED (YOU’LL GO TO SLEEP QUICKLY BUT YOU’LL WAKE UP SOON AND NOT FEEL RESTED)
TAKE OVER THE COUNTER SLEEPING PILLS
HAVE UPSETTING CONVERSATIONS BEFORE BED
STAY IN BED IF YOU DON’T GET TO SLEEP WITHIN ½ HOUR
GET UP AND DO SOMETHING QUIET FOR A WHILE
YOU CAN’T FORCE SLEEP SO DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

SMOKE JUST BEFORE BEDTIME
FORGET TO GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT
