welcome to the Forum from the BBC World Service.
I am Izzy Lawrence.
Absolutely no coffee after midday.
I need a cappuccino just before bedtime.
A hot bath before bed does the trick.
I need to have a cool shower.
No electronics in the bedroom.
I play solitaire or Sudoku on my phone.
These are some of the things that help World Service listeners to fall asleep.
I could list many more examples, but I think you get the idea.
Different things, even complete opposites, work for different people.
And if I can draw any conclusion from the hundreds of responses to our call outs on Facebook and on radio,
it is that getting a good night's sleep can be difficult wherever you live,
and that some people have wonderfully imaginative strategies to help them drift off.
Here is what works for Forum listener Annette what I do is I imagine a huge big pile of ironing that.
Needs to be done and so I. Have to pick up the ironing one by one.
Iron the sleeve, iron the front.
There's so much more ironing to do.
And then before I know it, the alarm goes off and it's the morning.
Adequate sleep is clearly important for all of us if we're to function well,
