If you are wishing to have a peaceful restful nights sleep, a good quality bed will most certainly go a long way in helping you but there is a lot you can do to help!
 Here are some tips from the experts:
Calm down
Try unwinding and eliminating stress before going to bed. Turning in tense leads to tossing and turning. Why not take a warm bath, listen to calming music, or read a good book.
Avoid caffeine
Caffeine stimulates, and is the last thing you want in your system when you're trying to sleep. You'll find it in coffee, tea, cooldrinks, chocolate and certain medications. If you're going to have caffeine in the evening, have it early, or try decaf.
Make the most of your mattress
Since you're going to spend a third of your life in your bed, a quality innerspring mattress and fully sprung foundation is one of the most cost-effective purchases you can make. Studies show that an innerspring mattress and foundation create the least tension, strain and muscle fatigue on the lower back.
Silence the snoring
Snoring doesn't just keep the partner awake; it also interrupts the sleep of the snorer. Try using additional pillows to raise the head, or even better, sleep on your side rather than on your back.
Darkness isn't just for mushrooms
Your body will get more rest if you sleep in the dark. Make sure your curtains block out most of the light, and try not to sleep with a light on.
Keep quiet
Fall asleep to music only if it is peaceful music and uninterrupted by announcers. The gentle hum of a fan, humidifier or air conditioner can actually improve the quality of your sleep.
 Turn off the TV
Eliminate violent or emotionally stimulating shows late in the evening. If you really want to watch them, tape them and watch them next morning.
Basics for backs
Ever since man stood erect on two legs he has been susceptible to back pain. Here are some of the causes, and some suggestions:
Poor posture is the root of many a backache
When you stoop over, the tension that results can produce neck pain, back pain and headaches. As your mother said: "Don't slouch! Stand up straight and sit up straight."
Learn how to lift
Bend at the knees, not at the waist when lifting heavy objects. Keep your weight down. Every extra kilogram puts your spine under enormous extra stress. You'll be amazed at the effect moderate exercise and correct body weight has on your back.
Follow these tips and you won't need to spend a fortune on sleep medication
