Working hours
Try to finish your work on time. Working overtime may take a toll on your health.

Try to be as relaxed as possible on your way home. You can listen to your favorite music when you are travelling.
Before going to Bed
Go to bed early. Try to avoid watching TV or sitting in front of the computers for long. Take a hot bath 30 minutes before going to bed. This will help you to get to sleep fast.
