Expert's top tips to sleep soundly as the clocks spring forward

Sadly we lose an hour in bed this Sunday as the clocks spring forward, so chances are we're all going to feel a little sleep-deprived.

But it needn't be this way if we think a little smarter. A snooze expert says it can be a good idea to gradually alter your bedtime two to three days before the clocks change so you get used to falling asleep and waking up earlier.

Dr Lindsay Browning, psychologist, neuroscientist and sleep expert for And So To Bed said people should try going to bed 15 minutes earlier and waking 15 minutes earlier the first night. Then increasing this to 30 minutes earlier than your usual bedtime and wake up time on the second night, then 45 minutes the third night.
