Can't Relax Before Sleep

Your bedtime routine (of lack of one!) could be keeping you alert and anxious and preventing you from getting a good night’s sleep. The key is to establish a relaxing and consistent bedtime routine, which signals to your mind that you’re ready for sleep.

Try including the following in your bedtime routine:

• Have an hour and a half wind down period before bedtime - do something you find peaceful and relaxing, such as reading.
• Try taking a warm bath before bed. When you get out of the bath your body temperature will drop; a fall in body temperature is one of the stags your body goes through before sleep.
• A hot milky drink may help you to relax and is a well-known sleep-enhancing remedy.
