Ever find yourself struggling to sleep at night? Heres some tips and tricks to get the best sleep you’ve ever dreamt of.

Schedule- I know this one can be tough, but Ive noticed that my sleeping has been much more efficient when I try to go to bed early and wake up early! Regulate your body so it is used to being in a relaxed state at your chosen time, and try to stay within an hour of going to bed at the same time every night.

2.) Exercise- whether its a light jog or an intense workout at the gym, implementing exercise into your daily routine can help you fall asleep faster and easier.

3.) Bed time snacks- Don’t go to bed hungry or overly full, the discomfort will often lead to keeping you up. Alcohol will disrupt your sleep cycle as well, often later in the night.

4.) Natural light- Let the sun in first thing in the morning, it keeps you on a healthy wake-sleep cycle. Also waking up to beautiful, warm, sunlight? Yes please.

5.) Don’t over do it on the water- Drinking water is good, I fully support the decision to drink as much water as you possibly can during the day. But while trying to fall asleep? Not so much. Drinking an ample amount of water before bed can be disrupting to your sleep schedule if you find yourself getting up to go to the bathroom during the night.

6.) Quit scrolling through Instagram before bed. All of the posts will still be there in the morning. I promise. Staring at a screen before bed actually reduces your melatonin levels, get in the habit of putting your phone away until your alarm goes off.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
