TIME TO GET THE PLAN STARTED…

OVER these pages, you’ll find everything I want you to try in week one of the Plan.

Next week, and in the subsequent weeks, I’ll be giving new techniques, tips, exercises and bits of advice in my weekly column.

Some of my suggestions should lead to improvements within days, others will take longer. But I do believe that after four weeks, you will see significant improvements.

My sleep plan is based on making simple but radical changes to your lifestyle. Remember to fill in your Sleep Tracker – the free 24-page diary inside this week’s Mail on Sunday. Doing so will help you identify strange patterns in your sleep, along with the things you are doing that are causing sleep problems. It will also help identify which of my suggestions are most helpful. Keeping a sleep diary is something all the sleep experts I have spoken to strongly recommend.
