How To Support Mr Sandman In Bringing You A Good Nights Sleep

Be considerate, after unloading his buckets of sand into your eyes to help you find your way to dreamy land, he hasn’t got time to hang around on your shoulder singing lullabies. Prepare for his visit to ensure you get a restful sleep:

• You probably know this by now, but I will mention it none the less – don’t drink caffeine as it depresses the sleep hormone melatonin for up to 10 hours.
• Alcohol might relax you at first but can cause anxiety later on.
• Have a cup of bed-time or herbal tea instead.
• Play quiet, calming music to assist you in winding down.
