During her time here Nicole put together the following top tips for implementing good sleep hygiene:
⏰Try to regularise a time to go to bed and to wake up every day. Consistency is key.
✨Keep your room cool and comfortable, quiet and dark. Remove any bright electronic devices.
🍹Avoid alcohol before bed!
🛏️Bed is only for sleeping and sex!
🤳Limit screen time before bed, for at least an hour. Using a blue light filter will also help a lot!
🧘♂️Put your phone out of reach-!
☕Avoid caffeine at least 4hrs before bed. This includes coffee, tea, energy drinks and even chocolate!
✍️Brain Dump- essential for a busy overactive mind. Have a notebook and a pen beside your bed and jot down all your thoughts before you go to sleep.
🏃♀️If you’ve been in bed for 20-30mins and still can’t sleep, get up and walk around for a few minutes or do a small activity before getting back in.
Remember that establishing a good sleep pattern will take time, possibly even weeks. Try small habits at a time and maintain your routine as best as you can 😊
We also run an on demand online sleep programme which can be purchased
