　　"If you consider getting older with needing less sleep，it's not true!"says Robert Oexman．Besides sickness，medicine and pain，Dr．Oexman looks at his patients'nighttime habits，which cause the most sleep problems．So，how are you destroying your sleep？

　　•Watch TV until you fall asleep

　　It has nothing to do with what you watch．It's because you face TV's bright light．So even if you nod off in front of the TV，for example，you possibly can't stay asleep for long．

　　So an hour before bedtime，treat yourself like a baby：a warm bath．But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night．

　　•Exercise too close to bedtime

　　Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever，never really feeling rested？Well，heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature，so that your sleep is not at best until your body temperature drops to normal，which may take several hours．

　　So no exercise at least three hours before bedtime to make sure your body temperature is normal．

　　•Eat fatty，heavy foods too close to bedtime

　　If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal，you've probably found the discomfort of stomach and you are less likely to fall asleep．

　　So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3hours before bedtime．Should you feel hungry before bed？So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato．Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice．
