DAYTIMΕ Eat healthy food at regular internals and take in some exercise. Moving your body can really help improve the quality and quantity of nighttime sleep. Check how much water you drink, so you are adequately hydrated. Avoid caffeine in the late afternoon and evening. EVENING Implement a relaxation period before bedtime. Don't relying on alcohol to get to sleep. Avoid exercise for two hours before bedtime. Ensure your bedroom looks and feels relaxing. Do you need to clean and declutter?

Is your mattress supportive and comfortable? Are pillows of good quality, clean and support your breathing and posture? Avoid using devices (bright screens) if you wake up during the night. Ensure clocks are turned away, so if you wake during night you won't 'watch the clock' and increase anxiety levels.
