A radical approach

You won’t find much about this radical approach on the internet. Mainly because it doesn’t involve shipping you a batch of herbs or a book. But it has been helping people get to sleep all over the world for as long as we can remember. The method is called Actually Going to Bed. (It used to be called Going to Bed, but the only way to get millennials to pay attention to anything is to put the word actually before it. That’s actually true.)

Here’s a one-step guide to Actually Going to Bed. 1: Go to bed. That’s it. Don’t flick through the channels one more time in the crazy hope there might be something good on ITV. Don’t open Facebook again and leave a comment on your friend’s new profile photo, your phone will be beeping all night with other messages of support because your friend is as delicate as a daisy. Don’t open another fun-size Crunchie, unless your definition of fun is lying awake all night wondering if chocolate is worse than espresso in terms of sleep. (It so is.)

That’s it. Just go to bed. And actually sleep tight.
