Exercise will help you sleep, but if you time it too close to bed time, it can keep you awake. Try to finish all strenuous exercise at least 3 hours before bed.

A hot bath or even 10 minutes of meditation can help clear our mind for sleep. If you have your busy day running through your head, sleep will not come quickly.
