  • Cut out/reduce caffeine - everyone reacts differently to caffeine, so find out what works for you. Your cut off point might be 7pm, 5pm, 11 am - or not drinking it at all!

  • The same applies to alcohol.

  • Try to keep regular hours - going to bed and getting up at the same time can help your body to establish a good waking/sleeping rhythm.

  • Never before have we been so connected. Social media, email etc, have a place, but they could be disturbing your sleep. Limit electronic exposure later in the day - again everyone is different so find what works for you.

“I am now managing 3-4 hours most nights, instead of 1-2 if lucky. I know this, for me, will probably take a while for me but it’s looking good.”
