Six secrets to a perfect night’s sleep!

Sleeping less than an owl on crack these days? You don’t have to wake up moody! We have the top tips and products to help you drift off faster.

Top tips for sleeping better:

– Exercise regularly. 30 minutes a day will be enough to help your body function better and in turn sleep better.

– Avoid caffeine (including chocolate) and alcohol before bed as they can interrupt your sleeping patterns.

– Get sunlight in the day so your body clock is on track and knows what time of the day it is.

– Even though it is cold you will sleep better in a ventilated room so make sure the air is moving and it is not too hot.

– Reserve your bed for sleeping. Try not to work or watch TV in bed as it keeps your mind too active.

– Don’t just put up with it. Sleep is as important as food and air so make sure you take steps to get your eight hours.
