8 Remedies to a Better Nights Sleep

Recent studies indicate a significant decline in sleep quality among people in England. A survey by Nuffield Health found that 74% of UK workers reported poor sleep quality, with only 33% getting the recommended 7-8 hours per night. The economic impact is considerable, with sleep deprivation costing the UK economy £37 billion annually due to lost productivity, as individuals with poor sleep experience reduced reaction times and concentration issues, leading to more workplace accidents and mistakes​.

The situation is particularly dire among young people, with 64.9% of those aged 17 to 23 reporting sleep problems multiple times a week, and the issue being more prevalent among young women. Poor sleep is closely linked to higher levels of loneliness and mental health issues, further impacting well-being. Additionally, the Office for National Statistics notes that poor sleep quality correlates with lower life satisfaction and higher anxiety, emphasizing the need for improved sleep hygiene and mental health support across the UK.

Sleep is essential for good health and well-being. It allows your body and mind to rest and repair themselves. When you don't get enough sleep, you're more likely to experience fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. You're also more likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

The importance of sleep cannot be underestimated, so to enhance your nightly routine, and make the most of your downtime for your wellness, I’ve compiled my nightly essentials, to wake up glowing.
