Did You Know 'Summer Insomnia' Is a Thing? Here's What's Keeping You From Drifting Off, and How to Beat It

A stunning bedroom with wooden cupboards, a room divider hiding a bathtub, a marble stool, a red bed with an overhead hanging rug, and a pair of tiled side tables with table lamps.

London's summer is admittedly fleeting. But of late, we've been lucky enough to experience long, sunlit days and warm weather. However, there's something about wrapping up my day before the sun sets (a 09:00 PM ritual nowadays) that feels slightly illegal and mildly unproductive to the mind and body.
