Suggestions for Better Sleep

If you're struggling to get a good night's sleep, your sleep environment and bedtime habits may need changing.

Suggestions that may help you sleep better:

  • Go to bed and try to wake at the same time each day.
  • Prepare for bed with a relaxing routine, such as taking a bath or reading.
  • Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark.
  • Use a firm but comfortable mattress, and lots of plush pillows.
  • Never perform work-related duties in your bedroom.
  • Don't eat for at least two hours before you go to bed.
  • Exercise each day, but never just before bedtime.
  • Skip caffeine, alcohol and nicotine in the hours before bedtime.
