Ways to ensure a good sleep before test day

Hi GmatClub members!

I’d like to share my experience concerning my sleep before test days. First of all, I’d like to share that I’ve taken the tests 4 times already (yes.. I only have the other 4 left, so I need to do what I can to ensure success)

Point is I never had a good night sleep before any GMAT test days.. I actually could not sleep AT ALL the night before past test days..

1st 570
2nd 680
3rd 610
4th 670

(Official mock: 740 - 760)

While I usually fall asleep easily on any normal days, that didn’t happen the nights before test days

After my 4th attempts, I’ve been trying to figure out ways to ensure a good score or a good night sleep before the next test day (haven’t booked yet) and I come up with some solutions which I’m more than open to hearing your suggestions.

1. To ensure a good score regardless quality of the sleep (I can’t be optimistic and just hope that I’ll sleep well)
1.1 mastering materials - measured by at least Q49 on GmatClub mock test
1.2 training my brain to get used to doing easy, medium, and hard math by practicing regularly & more hours
1.3 improve % accuracy to 97%, 90%, and 75% for easy, medium, and hard questions, respectively, in general.

2. To ensure a good night sleep
2.1 improve diets & walking exercise daily
2.2 relax before D-day - no reviewing materials & no practicing (need advise whether it’s actually a good thing to do)
2.3 wake up extra early the morning of the day before test day (like 4am) so on the night before the test day, I’ll be extra sleepy and easily fall asleep. (To me this could be effective, but I’m not sure the effects of it on my performance on d-day)

Advices are appropriated. Thanks in advance.
