These articles are really good, David..you have quite a talent!
Let me add a couple of points: First, limit caffeine...and that comes in a lot of soft drinks these days, so read the label and stop drinking them in the afternoon.
Unwind and unplug from technology early in the evening.....all that stuff is very stimulating, which is the opposite of what you want to fall off to sleep.
Keep the temperature lower in your bedroom. Optimal sleep occurs when the surrounding air is cool, so open a window or turn a fan on.

Thank you, Sam.
Also, do not have a fan directly in your face rotating with air and gusto. It can lead to coldness in the mouth which can land you with a sore throat.
Can't forget that! You can also die because of 'fan deaths'. If you don't know what it is, google it. It rarely happens though. Make sure the fan is moderated.
