We all tend to "burn the midnight oil" at some point - it is just the nature of the work we do. However, this can quite easily become a habit that becomes difficult to break unless we know how to do it.

Here are a few sleep tips from a BBC documentary, that will help to get your body clock in line with nature again:

1. Warm bath an hour before bed - though its actually the cooling down that occurs after a warm bath that makes us sleepy.
2. Beat Insomnia - follow sleep restriction programme, wherein you do not sleep until 2am everyday and then wake at 8am regardless of the amount of sleep you have had - this breaks bad your bad sleep pattern and then you will naturally feel sleepy earlier within a week or two.
3. Beat Snoring - use mouth piece or moisture pad in mouth (see Pharmacist).
4. Power naps between 2-5pm - for upto an hour, much like siestas abroad - very refreshing for body.
5. Avoid coffee and alcohol - ruins quality of sleep.
6. Avoid Jetlag - fasting on plane journey and instead having first meal in country of arrival.
7. Tense and relax muscle exercises from feet to head - 20 mins before sleep.
8. Herbal Teas - lavendar and valerian - 20 mins before sleep.
