How to fall asleep in half an hour – the simple steps to help you doze off
Red light bulb
If you can’t stay off your phone in bed, you’ll need to get a red light bulb to cancel out the effects.
Mattress Online’s experts said: “Exposure to blue light from your phone or tablet is well-known for disrupting sleep, but did you know there is a light colour which can improve it?
“Red light can stimulate the production of melatonin, a natural hormone which helps you sleep.
“Research shows that just 30 minutes of red light exposure can improve sleep quality. You can find a red light bulb for approximately £2.50.”
Eye mask
As soon as you’re ready to sleep, pop an eye mask on to block out anything that is bothering you.
The experts explained: “Blocking out light with an eye mask is an easy and effective way to improve your sleep. It could work as quickly as overnight.
“Eye masks are a cheap sleep fix too, as you can buy one online for around £6.19.”
