One in four people in the UK are likely to have insomnia at some point in their lives. Insomnia may mean you have difficulty getting to sleep, or finding you can’t stay asleep.
Even if you usually fall asleep easily and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go, you can sometimes find your sleep is disrupted. What can you do to get back into a good routine?
A relaxation technique can help relieve stress and anxiety that could be affecting your sleeping patterns.
There are many aspects to mental wellbeing, including sleeping well.
If you’re starting shift work, you may need to experiment with your day and night routines to enable you to fit in enough sleep to be ready for your next shift.
