Sleep problems in older adults are best addressed by fixing the environment first, before turning to medication.

1. Bedroom temperature 18–20℃, dark and quiet.

2. Daytime naps limited to 30 minutes or less. No naps after 3 p.m.

3. Caffeine (including green tea and black tea) only before lunch.

4. 30 minutes of sunlight (to align your circadian rhythm).

5. Warm milk or a half-body bath before bed.
