    If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it’s worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there’s loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.

    In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.

    If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you’ve been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.

      Also, most modern sleep studies are now done at home. As such, it’s a Mitch less big deal to get your sleep checked out, and insurance is more likely to cover it.
