A good night’s sleep has become such a luxury that weary wellness-seekers are now jetting to special resorts just to drift off in style. While being served by a sleep butler, selecting from a ‘pillow menu’ and lying on an AI-powered smart bed would certainly be restful, it doesn’t really address the problem many people not getting the rest you need, she recommends taking inspiration from high-end resorts to create your own optimal sleeping environment at home. Avoid bright artificial light a few hours before bed (overhead lights, phones, laptops) and also avoid caffeine and food close to bedtime Make your bed as comfortable as possible with fresh pillows, a supportive mattress and maybe an eye mask or a weighted blanket Set up black-out window coverings and maintain a cool temperature in your bedroom Commit to an evening wind-down routine, such as a warm shower, reading a book or even sipping a sleepy girl mocktail Aim for a similar bedtime and waking time – even on weekends To have “really strong rhythms of alertness and sleepiness”, our bodies want to sleep and wake at the same time every day, Dr Gupta says. Like most people, she often sleeps in and goes to bed later in the weekends but says can pay for this with “social jet lag” on a Monday morning.
