Sleep has become one of my fixations, as I’m sure it has for you. I need more! That’s what my whizzy Fitbit tells me. I believe it. When it shows me I’ve had too little deep and REM sleep, I do actually feel foggier the next day. That’s why I’ve worked on reducing my deficit, and our experts and nutrition editor can help you, too (p12). For me, it’s about having more consecutive alcohol-free days, cutting caffeine after 1pm and hitting the herbals around 9pm (less time walking the landing for loo breaks during the night). Leaving the dark chocolate alone and my phone in another room also helps. If your sleep issue is more serious, Dr Dawn Harper has the latest medical advice about non-addictive pills (p21).
