The importance of sleep

When we don't get enough sleep we can feel; tired, restless, irritable, lethargic and not as sharp as we would be after a good nights rest. So to ensure you are refreshed and ready to face the days challenges you may want to follow some of the suggestions below.

Ten tips

• Maintaining a regular bed time can help when it comes to actually falling asleep; this will also help ensure you get the correct amount of sleep.

• Your bedtime routine should be regular and relaxing; activities such as reading, listening to music, taking a bath etc can help.

• Make sure your bedroom is an environment conducive to sleep; ensure it’s quiet, free of excess light, a comfortable temperature and soothing.

• Do not use your bedroom for activities other than sleep - and sex; remove items such as televisions and computers from the room.

• Keep regular meal times and avoid eating at least two or three hours before bedtime.

• Engage in regular exercise; but again try to leave a gap of at least a few hours between finishing exercise and sleeping.

• Alcohol can disrupt you sleep, stopping you from achieving the correct amount of deep sleep.

• Nicotine can also disrupt your sleep so try and avoid smoking before bedtime; if this proves problematic you could try a slow release nicotine patch.

• This may sound obvious but avoid stimulants such as caffeine contained in coffee, tea, soft drinks and chocolate.

• Make sure you have a comfortable supportive mattress and pillow; such as those available from Tempur.
