Also, watch your naptime. Consider limiting your naptime to 15 to 20 minutes so that it will not negatively affect your sleeping routine at night. Longer naptimes could disrupt your sleep.
2. Develop good eating and exercising habits
Aside from looking into your sleeping schedules, be mindful of your food intake.
