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.
