Tips to help you sleep better

See some tips below to help with better sleep:

• Have a routine - we never grow out of a need for a routine/bedtime. This will prompt your body into knowing that it is time to sleep. Try to go to bed and get out of bed at the same time each day.

• Don’t use your phone in bed or use any screens - the light from our devices tells our brain to wake up.

• Reduce caffeine intake generally and do not have any caffeine after 3pm - this includes cups of tea!

• Avoid napping during the day, although this is tempting when we have not slept well at night - this throws off our sleep routine.

• Make time to wind down by doing something before bed that you find calming - having a nice bath, reading or listening to soft music.
