1. Make tonight your first Sleep Date Night
We’re rubbish sleepers. Rubbish. On average, adults sleep six and a half hours a night easily below the seven to eight hours we need to function at our best. You’ve heard the reasons before (busy lives, bedroom phone use, yadda yadda, yawn yawn), but have you ever thought of having a Sleep Date Night to help you redress the balance?
That’s an idea suggested by Dr Guy Meadows, the co-founder of The Sleep School, who says it is a better approach than the common technique of trying to catch up on lost sleep with weekend lie-ins. “Most of us deprive ourselves of sleep during the week and catch up at the weekend. But a big lie-in makes us feel worse; it gives us jet lag. If you usually get up at 7am and lie in on Saturday until midday, you’re now on New York time.”
