We've all been there: it's 2 am, you can't get to sleep, and all you can do is look at the clock on your phone and panic about the fact that you need to be up in four hours to start getting ready for work.
It's a horrible feeling, but according to a psychologist, the worst thing you can do when your body doesn't want to sleep is to stay in bed trying to force yourself to get some shut-eye.
While you might be frustrated that you won't be getting your full eight hours before your alarm goes off, sleep psychologist Stephanie Romiszewski has said the best thing to do is to get out of bed and distract yourself from your own thoughts until you feel tired enough to try again.
