By now, we all know that sleep is important. But that doesn't mean getting enough of it is easy. Between overbooked schedules, caffeine habits, daytime stressors, ambient noise and bedside electronics, it can feel as if the quality sleep deck is stacked against us.

That said, by developing certain habits -- and quashing others -- it's possible to increase the likelihood of achieving the dream that is blissfully uninterrupted sleep.

For the insomniacs out there: take a long, hard look at your daily routine. Are you drinking coffee after lunch time? Are you bringing your electronics to bed with you? Are napping in the afternoon, or exercising right before bed? If the answer is yes to any of the above, you may have found part of the problem.
