More than half of the UK attests to being unhappy with their sleep quality, and half don’t know how to improve it, according to research by Cint UK. If you struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep or get enough sleep, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with poor or a lack of sleep, especially as the seasons change.

A poor night’s sleep can be down to many factors – stressful thoughts, weather changes, hormonal fluctuations or too much light or noise can all disturb our slumber. But the clocks going back, and a change in daylight hours is one of the most common causes of sleep disruption.
