I have fibromyalgia, which among other things affects my ability to sleep. As a result, I've spent a lot of time examining my sleep and the various environmental influences on it.

Avoiding caffeine is a general good thing, as is not eating after a certain point so that your system isn't actively hiking your blood sugar level while you're trying to fall asleep. Also look at your sleep environment. Is there ambient noise that might be waking you up? Is the bed comfortable enough, with a good ambient temperature in the bedroom? Does the temperature stay constant, or are you waking up too cold or too warm? Is your mind quiet and relaxed as you fall asleep, or are you still thinking about the day? Are there things on your mind that come to the front when you're not actively thinking about other things, that you can't banish when it's time to sleep?
