The best ways of getting a good night’s sleep when moving home

As part of our #HealthyHomelife campaign, we have teamed up with Ironstone Wellbeing Centre to share the best ways of getting a good night’s sleep when moving home

1. Reduce screen time before bed

Using electronics simulates the brain and makes it harder to fall asleep.

2. Try sticking to a sleeping pattern

Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

3. Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet

Cooler air correlates with a more restful sleep.  Sleep-wake cycle is largely regulated by light, so keep your bedroom as dark as possible. Mask disruptive sounds by wearing earplugs or playing white noise.

4. Watch what you eat and drink

Eat a light meal for dinner, and avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol.

5. Calm your mind

Try techniques like journaling and to-do lists to get all your worries out of your system earlier in the day, and keep your mind from racing.
