Don't get too worked up on a 'time', just focus on a regular pattern

If you’re finally getting to sleep at past midnight and waking up to go to work at 5am, your inefficient sleeping pattern could be affecting your everyday life.

But what can you do to improve your sleeping pattern. Is waking up at the same every day the answer?

Professor Colin Espie at Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Sleepio has some insight.

However when it comes to what time to go to sleep, Professor Espie explains that the rules are much vaguer.

“It’s important not to get stuck on the idea of one bedtime that suits all, because different individuals can have different chronotypes. Most of us sit in the middle between being an early bird or a night owl, but there are people who are on either extreme of this.”

He explained that each individual “should discover what they personally need and then make this a recurring habit.”
