no television (read somewhere that tv gets the brain revved up in a way that's counter-productive to sleep)
meditation (15-30min) - settles the whirring mind before sleep
following through with the meditation once i'm lying down (as in not getting hooked by thoughts of the day - keeping focused on inhaling and exhaling)
The mileage with meditation will vary. I feel very rested afterwards, and can't sleep for many hours even if I try.
true - i try not to do it right before bed as i have discovered the same thing - usually i'll do it shortly after dinner, leaving myself time to get some things done around the house in more relaxed fashion before i do go to bed
