About this course

You know how a bad night goes. You're snappy by break time, you can't concentrate and everything feels harder than it should. Then you lie awake the next night worrying about not sleeping.

Start at lunchtime, and cut caffeine from early afternoon, including the hidden kind in tea. Help your body make melatonin, the sleep hormone, with a dark, cool bedroom. Build an hour-long wind-down with no screens, a warm bath and something mindless to do. And if you wake at 2am and can't get back off, you'll know when to get up and why to turn the clock away. A notebook by the bed can empty a racing mind.

If menopause is keeping you (or the person next to you) awake, there are ideas for that too, starting with two single duvets.
