same time every day, and allow some time to relax
before bed. As for your worries, give yourself a
‘worry period’. This should be in the same place,
at the same time every day. Give yourself 15–20
minutes to think about your worries and write a to-

and not being able to cope the next day, remember
that our bodies actually need less sleep than we
think. Although we’re told to get eight hours, six
to seven hours is fine, so you may be getting more
than enough sleep for your body to function well.
