I have 5 kids, nights on the road are the only full nights of sleep I get.

join the military, go to the desert, sleep in a tent 1/4 mile from the departure end of a jet base runway.
you'll never have trouble sleeping again, seriously !

working out a few hours before bedtime usually works wonders also.

Don't watch tv.

Choke your chicken and lights out. If it doesn't work, well then you're just not doing it right.

Seriously.

things that benefit me:
-no caffeine after noon
-at least 20 min of cardio or a brisk walk
-cooler room temps
-no tv or computers/iPhones 1 hr prior
-finish dinner 2 hrs prior
-herbal sleep aids, especially valerian root based
-no melatonin or ____ PM drugs
-no red meat or big meals late in the evening

I put on a documentary or something that isn't funny or action based on Netflix on my tablet next to the bed. Listening to that helps me drift off to sleep. Having white noise in the hotel is a necessity for staying asleep. Keep the thermostat on constant fan mode. As stated earlier, it wouldn't hurt to choke the chicken either.

even a little light from an iPad, phone or TV can prevent the brain from producing melatonin. I read a book when I can't sleep and I usually only make it a few pages.

How are you reading the book with no light? [emoji2]
