Sleep debt

A nationwide survey on 2,500 adults by online bed superstore Bedstar has revealed that the average person is missing out on a staggering 32.3 hours of sleep each month.

According to The National Sleep Foundation, ‘sleep debt’ is described as ‘the difference between the amount of sleep that you need and the amount that you’re actually getting.’

But can you really repay long-term sleep debt? Try changing your habits to make sure you get sufficient rest by sticking to a regular sleep and wake schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol (especially before bed), daily exercise, and switching off electronics at least an hour before you go to sleep, keeping all technology out of the bedroom.

It’s worth a try!
