The festive period often sees many of us losing track of our usual routines, leading to a significant impact on our sleep patterns. As the Christmas and New Year celebrations draw to a close, a collective "sleep debt" frequently emerges, leaving individuals feeling more tired than rested.
"At this time of year, people have often had far too much alcohol, they’re tired and have accumulated a sleep debt, so good sleep is at an all-time low," reflects Dr Marion Sloan, a GP partner at Sloan Medical Centre in Sheffield and chair of the Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology.
