Doctors are offering advice to keep our sleep schedule on track.

"Trying to do things the day before to promote good sleep drive. So, trying to think about how can I make myself more prepared for sleep versus doing things that take away from sleepiness," said Dr. Michelle Drerup with the Cleveland Clinic.

Following a healthy diet can also improve the quality of your sleep.
