Getting a good night’s sleep is important as it allows your mind and body to reset.
Here are some top tips to get a better night’s sleep…

Dark, quiet and cool environments generally make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Confront sleeplessness
If you are lying awake unable to sleep, do not force it. Get up and do something relaxing for a bit, and return to bed when you feel sleepier.
Write down your worries
If you often lie awake worrying about tomorrow, set aside time before bed to make a list for the next day. This can help put your mind at rest.
Put down the pick-me-ups
Caffeine and alcohol can stop you falling asleep and prevent deep sleep. Try to cut down on alcohol and avoid caffeine close to bedtime.
Switch-off
