Your guide to taking the anxiety out of missed sleep – and how to sleep better

Struggling to sleep?

Sleeping patterns always take a hit when the seasons change and for many, the shorter days and long nights mean counting sheep until the early hours.

But expert consultant Nick Witton has been working on a sleeping brand with NEOM, one of the OG wellness brands before wellness became hot.

This week they’ve unveiled their ‘perfect night’s sleep plan’, which is made up of 11 steps to help boost sleep quality.

Nick believes there’s lots of anxiety around losing sleep – and that only fuels more lost hours.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk he says: ‘Negativity in sleep reporting is rife – most people tell you that if you don’t sleep then you will get certain illnesses or disorders, but the way we want to look at it is: if your sleep improves, your daytime function does too.

‘We all lose sleep and none of us sleep perfectly, but it’s only at that point – when there’s problems – we think about it and do something about it.’

It’s only when we lose sleep we take action, and that’s what this new plan is designed to help change.

The majority of people testing the 28-day plan – that’s 94% – said they began to sleep better overall, and only 4% of people who took part rated their usual sleep quality as good.

‘If you lose sleep, it’s very natural and don’t panic – these are the things you can pick up on to get back into a steady flow of sleep,’ he adds.

Some of the rules are obvious and well known, but the idea is to take these 11 steps and tailor them to suit your lifestyle so it’s more personalised.

Once you’ve done that, the key is to build the habit.
