Kathryn Pinkham's Three Take Home Tips to Aid Sleep:
- Shorten your time in bed - go to bed later and get up earlier. Even if it's just by half an hour.
- Set your alarm and then turn it over. When you wake up in the night, resist the urge to look at the clock.
- Spend time managing your worries and anxieties instead of focusing on your lack of sleep. If you focus on lowering your stress levels then your sleep should improve too.
