For some people, sleep is something that comes easily every time they lie on their bed. Unfortunately for others getting a good night’s rest can be very difficult.

If you are having problems with sleeping, perhaps it is about time that you check your favorite sleeping companion—- you bed.

Here are some tips and techniques on how to have a restful sleep in your bed:

• Clean you bed
  There is nothing like sleeping in a clean and sweet-smelling bed. So make sure that you change bed sheets at least once every two weeks. Remember to also change the pillowcase and blanket.
• Avoid eating in bed
  You bed should not be used as your second dining table. Eating in bed will not only make it dirty but it will also attract ants and other insects.
• Avoid studying or working on your bed
  Some people have the habit of working or studying on their bed. Remember that bed should only be used for sleeping. Some studies suggest that how you use your bed will most likely affect your sleeping habit. Thus, if you are used on working or studying in your bed, chances are you will have a hard time relaxing and sleeping on it.
