Help your heart

Occasional napping has been shown to reduce your risk of a heart attack***. ‘We know that sleep deprivatio­n can put the heart under pressure, so it makes sense that a quick “sleep snack” could be beneficial,’ Rosey explains.

✱ TRY: Hitting the shade. Find yourself falling asleep on the sunlounger? If you tend to drift off while sunbathing without any warning, make sure you choose a spot in the shade and be diligent with the sun cream. The NHS recommends you reapply every two hours.
