I have never had a full nights sleep in almost 36 years. My husband having health issues most of his life means we are both never getting a full nights sleep uninterrupted. I have chronic sleep apnea too and as we get older there is insomnia sometimes. I have always been fully aware of the importance of a full nights sleep, because my father always instilled this in me. I always went to bed early but my parents would be awake until 11.00 pm every night watching TV, and up at 5.30 am to get ready for work because the traffic in Sydney is terrible.
Going to bed between 9.30 pm and 10.00 pm is probably the ideal time and reading a book to relax before going to sleep. Not heavy reading, it should be something that doesn’t overwhelm you or require heavy concentration. When you feel sleepy it’s time to put the light out. Do not have blue light in the room either because it affects your sleep as do lights in cold white spectrum.
