Avoid alcohol close to bedtime as it can disrupt your sleeping pattern.
Ensure your sleep environment is somewhere you want to spend time. A dark, quiet, and cool environment is recommended.
Reduce your caffeine intake and aim to consume your coffee before 2 pm.
If your sleep routine is affecting other areas of your life negatively, it is time to visit your GP. If possible, keep a sleep diary and record current sleep habits to help your GP understand your sleep patterns.
Exercising regularly can help you sleep better at night. However, do not exercise too close to bedtime.
Avoid large meals 2-3 hours before going to bed. If you’re still hungry, have a light snack 45 minutes before bed.
Try to limit screen time before bed, or if you do use your phone, use it for something productive like applications that help you sleep. Try to turn off your phone overnight so your sleep isn’t interrupted by text messages or notifications.

When was the last time you changed your pillows? It is recommended you change your pillow every two years. A new pillow can dramatically improve your sleep.
A quiet bedroom will assist your sleep. Is it a ticking clock keeping you awake? Move the sound source. If you can’t remove the noise, opt for earplugs.
Bedtime is the time you get to relax. Try to leave your worries and stress at the door and make your bedroom a relaxing environment where you treat yourself to “me time”.
If your troubles sleeping are associated with being too hot or cold, try a set of bamboo sheets. They are thermo-regulating and moisture-wicking and will assist in regulating the temperature.
Speaking of temperature, Bamboo Haus has a range of products designed to regulate temperature. If you’re finding your head is getting too sweaty – try our Luxury Gel Pillow. It has a cooling gel pad that disperses heat and offers a cooling sensation.
Your mood can affect how you sleep. If you are unhappy or stressed, your body will remain alert and awake trying to solve the problem at hand. If this is a problem for you, it may be best to consult your GP for other options.
Remember the era when we were all obsessed with Candy Crush? Put down the games before bed. We know you can’t wait to complete the next level, but it’s not doing you any favors when sleeping.
Spend the hour before bedtime doing something relaxing. We love reading, drawing, taking a relaxing bath or listening to soothing music.
