Good sleep hygiene

Go to bed sleepy – reserve your sleepiness for bedtime. Sleeping in the day can disrupt your night time rest. Have a bedtime ritual – routine is sleep’s best friend, it lets your brain know that now is time to sleep. Try to maintain the same getting-up-time each morning; even if you vary the times you go to bed. Avoid spending long periods of lying awake in bed before or during the

  • night. Save your bed for sleep.

Don’t ever ‘try’ to sleep – this is a self-defeating act as it is a process that has to happen naturally. If you can’t get to sleep (or get back to sleep) then get up and do something that is not overly stimulating, read a book, make a hot caffeine- free drink, then return to bed when you feel sleepy again.
