Some people need less than this, and some people need more. According to sleep expert Dr. Robert Schachter, many people have difficulty sleeping, but they do not know why. Most people know it is important not to drink tea or coffee before they go to bed_ both beverages have caffeine. Caffeine keeps people awake. However, not everybody knows that medicines, such cold tables, also have caffeine in them. Stress can cause insomnia, too. Busy people with stressful jobs may not be able to sleep at night. Dr. Schachter suggests, “You shouldn’t use your bedroom as a TV room or an exercise room. You should use it for sleeping only. It’s a good idea to have a regular schedule.
