ABSTRACT

Establish good sleep hygiene and a bedtime routine by: ● going to bed at about the same time every night and getting up at the same time

every morning, even if you have not slept well the night before ● keeping your bedroom slightly warm, not too hot or too cold ● relaxing for at least an hour before going to bed (eg by having a warm bath or

watching a TV programme that is not too stimulating) and avoiding doing any strenuous activities

● Try not to worry about your sleep, as this can make your sleep worse. You will eventually get sleep, as tiredness is like hunger – your body will eventually make sure it gets what it needs by falling asleep.
