Make room for a calmer night

The NHS suggests keeping broadly consistent sleep and waking times and making space to unwind. A quiet, dark and comfortable sleeping environment can also help.

Worries, screens, caffeine and other habits may affect how easily you settle. Notice patterns without expecting a perfect night every night. Persistent sleep difficulties are worth discussing with a health professional.

Questions for your everyday routine

• Choose a simple, relaxing activity for the end of the day.
• Reduce avoidable light and interruptions in your sleeping space.
• Write down questions if poor sleep keeps affecting daily life.
