Getting to sleep can seem impossible if your life is full of constant activity. Organising work, family or household commitments, alongside everything else on a never-ending to-do list, can keep your mind constantly switched on and it can be difficult to wind down at the end of the day.

Sleep loss can be caused by:

• Over-exposure to light, especially blue light from electronic devices at night
• High cortisol levels due to poor adrenal function
• A busy lifestyle, which is common for many people
• Disrupted bedtime patterns, especially for shift workers
• Consuming stimulants like caffeine or sugar
• Your genetics.
