Extra: four tips on how a sleep mantra can help you fall asleep faster
1. Avoid screen time before bed
Screen-based devices like phones, computers, and tablets can emit blue light, which can interfere with your body clock and prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. If you’re worried that screens are keeping you up at night, or you find yourself struggling to fall asleep, try limiting screen time. Or at the very least, put your phone in airplane mode.
2. Get exercise during the day
Sleep is important for your health, but getting exercise and sunlight throughout the day is also crucial. You don’t necessarily have to go to the gym or outside for a jog, but just try to get up and move around for 10–15 minutes every couple of hours to get your blood flowing. Exercise can also improve the quality and quantity of sleep. Even better, regular exercise reduces stress, and is a natural mood booster.

It’s also important to write down the time you go to bed, how many times you wake up each night, and how much sleep you get each night.
