How to Bounce Back After a Bad Night’s Sleep

•

Struggling with sleep at the moment?

It’s really common at this busy time of year with so many thoughts competing for your attention.

Throw in some late nights, perhaps a little more food and alcohol than usual and it’s no surprise your slumber is disrupted.

If you’ve woken up after a difficult night’s sleep here are some simple things you can do today to help:

  • Opt for higher protein meals – especially breakfast
  • Favour protein-based snacks if you get hungry (fish, chicken, eggs)
  • Take regular movement breaks for daylight and fresh air (perhaps a quick lunchtime walk)
  • Have caffeine as needed BUT stop at 12pm
  • Tonight try a simple wind down routine with candles and a some light stretching before bed
  • Think about any boundaries you might need to put in place to ensure you’re looking after your health

Hope it’s a better night tonight.
