1. Be realistic with your sleep schedule

The key, Taylor says, is to ensure we’re getting as much unfragmented sleep time as possible. “Ideally, if you’re constantly hitting snooze, try setting your alarm for a later time (the latest you can get away with) to ensure that you’re ready to get up straight away,” she advises. “If you find you need more sleep, it’s better to adjust your bedtime to ensure a full, restful night’s sleep rather than relying on the snooze button in the morning.”

2. Get outside as early as you can

“Having exposure to natural light, ideally in the morning and at some point during the day, can help regulate our circadian rhythm,” says Taylor. “This also gives a boost of serotonin to help our energy levels and keep them consistent, as well as helping us to sleep better that night.”

3. Stick to a consistent sleep pattern

Say goodbye to those weekend lie-ins. It’s way better for us to get up and go to bed at the same time every day. “Sticking to a consistent sleep pattern, especially at the weekend, can help regulate the body’s internal clock,” says Dr Rana. “This will in turn cultivate higher quality sleep and more sustained energy throughout the day.”
