I used to wake up at 3am most nights then lie awake for hours tossing & turning only to fall asleep just before my alarm went off at 7am.

It was not only exhausting making me feel like I was running on empty, but adding to my already high anxiety levels.

But after using these 5 simple techniques I now sleep like a baby every night:

1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. This will reset your circadian rhythm [body clock] building up the desire to sleep throughout the day.
2. Wear an eye mask to ensure you’re sleeping in total darkness. It helps close down your mind and signals it’s time to sleep.
3. Don’t eat in the 3 hours before bed. It can cause indigestion, which interferes with sleep.
4. Stop looking at screens, phones and laptops for at least 1 hour & preferably 2-3 before bedtime. The blue light blocks the build-up of the sleep hormone melatonin you need to get to sleep and stay asleep.
5. Relax before bed and take time to unwind e.g. reading a book, taking a bath or listening to music.
