Get the sleep you need

Not getting enough sleep, or the right quality of sleep, can turn you into an unpleasant wreck. It is not that difficult to improve your sleep quality.

Take action:

Start by creating a restful sleeping environment that’s as quiet and dark as possible. Try getting to sleep at the same time every night, aiming for at least eight hours. Invest in a comfortable bed, and avoid caffeine at night. If you fear you really have severe insomnia, you should speak to your doctor or a sleep therapist about alternatives.

Are you sleep-deprived?
