It's very important for everyone to sleep. We spend about one— third of our lives sleeping. So we should pay more attention to the quality of sleeping. However, a lot of people have trouble in sleeping. Some people even take sleeping pills to help them sleep better. In fact, taking sleeping pills is very dangerous. That' s because sleeping pills are habit-forming (上瘾 的). If you take them for several weeks, you will find it hard for you to stop taking them. Then, what should you do if you have trouble getting a good night's sleep?
Doctors say that the best thing to do is to get out of bad habits. In other words, you can't stay up too late at night and you should get up earlier in the morning. However, you may still have trouble sleeping if you have problems or something else on your mind. Then it's time for you to do some exercise to relax your tense muscles (紧绷的肌肉). If relaxing your body can't help you, try to write down your worries on your mind. If you like listening to music, you can choose some music that is quiet and gentle. Be sure not to choose some music which is too loud, or you may get so excited that you can't fall asleep.
Remember, choosing proper ways can help you sleep better.
