This is a question I get asked a lot. With the current climate our stress levels are all on high alert and this can have an impact on the quality of sleep we are having. The odd night of no sleep is fine but when it becomes a habit this is where the problems may start to arise.

A couple of things you might want to do an inventory on what might be causing lack of sleep?

• Switch off all electronics in the bedroom from the wall.

• Using your phone for the alarm? Place it just outside the bedroom door so you will still hear it.

• Don’t check the time when you get up in the middle of the night. Know if your alarm hasn’t

  gone off it’s not time to get up yet.

• Try and do some self-care before bedtime. Have a bath, listen to relaxing music, read a book,

  talk to a loved one or a friend.

• Try and go to bed and get up the same time every day.

• Don’t have the room too hot or too cold.
