According to (0) RESEARCH, 20 million people in the UK are not enough sleep nowadays. Experts believe that this may be one of the leading causes of health problems.
So all of us should try to work out how much sleep we need, says Professor Chris Idzikowski. To do so, we must our alarm clock for when we need to get up, then count back six to eight hours, on how much sleep we feel we need. Then, we should try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even at weekends. If we still feel tired during the day, we should try going to bed 15 minutes earlier for a week until we wake up refreshed. So if we go to bed at 11 pm, we should go at 10.45 pm. If we are still tired, then we should go at 10.30 the following week, and so on, until we find the perfect for us.
Finally, we must remember that a weekend afternoon nap can help up for any missed hours in the week.
