We live in a world where everyone lives their lives online, and you can’t go long without checking your smartphone. A lot of people get into the habit of checking their devices before bed, which in turn can cause disrupted sleep and keep you awake. So if you want a restful night’s sleep then try to put down your phone an hour before bed and allow your body to naturally go into sleep mode, opt for a warm bath or a warm decaffeinated drink to wave you gently off to the land of nod.

It might not all be down to great food and drink, sand and seawater it’s likely your exposure to more natural light than you’re used to has had a positive effect on your wellbeing.
