Step 5: Take a bath
Take a warm bath to relax and soothe your tired muscles.
Step 6: Choose mattress and pillow
Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow that is right for you.
Wash your sheets and blankets frequently and use a lightly scented detergent.
Step 7: Listen to music
Play a white noise recording or use a sleep mask and earplugs.
Kids between the ages of six and nine need 10 to 11½ hours of sleep a night.
