I read this video that explains what some scientists say about what we should do to get a good night's sleep. They say things that we know since always but sometimes we prefer to ignore for example we shouldn't use our cell phone one hour before to sleep, we should do exercise, and this recommendation is a little difficult for some that is avoid drinking alcohol before sleep. This video say interesting things that we must remember when we can't sleep well.
