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.
