It’s common for us to feel sluggish and more lethargic over the winter months. We often find ourselves setting off to school or work when it’s dark and coming home when it’s dark. As sunlight helps our bodies to regulate sleep, the reduced hours of daylight can have an impact on our sleeping patterns. Getting out in natural light during the day, maintaining a regular sleep/wake schedule, exercising during the day and reducing our use of electronic devices before bedtime can all help to improve the quality of our sleep.                                                                                                     The Sleep Charity (www.thesleepcharity.org.uk) has produced guidelines which are aimed at increasing or maintaining good sleep health and show how making a few changes to our routines can make a difference to wellbeing.
