Michael Mosley shares '15 minute rule' for those who can't sleep after waking at night

It can be difficult to get back to sleep after waking up during the night.

Tossing and turning can be frustrating as you stare at every minute of the clock while trying to get some more shut eye. However, lying in bed trying to get back to sleep may not be the best thing to do.

According to TV doctor Michael Mosley, you are just as well getting up. The diet guru suggests using a '15 minute rule' as well as staying off social media if you are hoping to return to your slumber. The hack involves getting up and waiting until you are tired again instead of forcing your eyes shut in bed.
