Could an afternoon nap be the secret to a better night's sleep? Here's what you need to know sleep sleepdiaries napping tired
Any officially diagnosed sleep-related problems:I’m not sure but I always start the day with a big glass, continue to keep sipping throughout the day, and have another big glass just before bed.Day 1
Once I finally finish work at 4pm , I take myself swimming and do 15 laps , then run some errands at the shopping centre. After cancelling tonight’s cinema plans because I’m really tired, I end up watching a film on my laptop while tidying my room and doing some fake tanning. I finish my shift in the living room at 4pm. I know I haven’t been drinking as much water as I should and I have a date at the pub tonight, so I make a last effort attempt to glug some. It proves a good decision, as I’m out until midnight drinking gin and tonics – and, yes, I eat a vat of pasta when I get in.
When I’m finally up, I make sure to drink water and eat breakfast straight away, before starting work at the desk in my bedroom. Once that’s done, I have veggies for tea at 8:30pm and wind up watching a TV show for work afterwards. To wind down, I read for half an hour, then head to bed at 10:30pm. However, I’m so anxious about tomorrow that I don’t get to sleep until midnight.I wake up at about 5am today – earlier than normal, I know, but I want to get ahead with work and still start at 6am before cycling into the office for 9am.
I know I probably didn’t drink as much water today because I was in the office, so try to make up for it now. Then, I head out for a half hour walk before dinner, then settle down to read in bed. I’m asleep by 11pm, and I feel so lucky that I don’t have to start work until 9am tomorrow; it means I can sleep until 7am!, sleep expert and professional physiologist, says:
