On average, people need 7 to 8 hours. Young people need more. But we need to train our bodies to sleep. Our brain works like a computer and like routine to tell us what to do. They want to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time. They want to do the same thing before we go to sleep. That means we need to create a bedtime routine such as our patent creates one for us when we were kids.

Cool the house. Our body temperature dips when we sleep, and the cold temperature helps us to sleep better. If you get cold try warm socks and pajamas.

Do something to help you relax. It can be meditation, yoga, reading something to help you relax or anything that does not include a computer, mobile phone or television.

Take a warm bath or shower. Your body will cool down afterwards tell your brain it is time to sleep.
Create hygiene routine. If you do the same thing every night before you go to bed will tell your brain it is time to sleep.

Surrender that before bedtime drink. Alcohol can make you fall asleep faster, but will disrupt your sleep later in the night.

Remember routine needs to be personal so do what works for you. Just remember that it should be done every day at the same time and you have to get up every day at the same time. Routine is what allows the computer comes out of the brain to work optimally and contributes to our overall health.
