Welcome to the Sleep On It podcast series brought to you by the team at The Sleep Charity.

Ever felt foggy, drowsy or disorientated after you’ve woken up? You’re suffering from sleep inertia – the feeling of grogginess after waking up, because you’re still in a sleep state.

As the wild winds of winter have well and truly blown in the cold and flu season, prioritising our health and well-being is essential.

As we head well into January (already!), many of you will have embarked on the challenge of Dry January, abstaining from alcohol for an entire month – well done!

If you’re taking on a dry month with us, chances are you’ve heard us talk about the potential benefits to your sleep.

The joy and excitement of the holiday season often come hand in hand with late nights, festive activities, and a break from the usual routine.

With the beginning of the New Year signalling a time for reflection and change, getting a better sleep routine is a surefire way of starting 2024 on the right side of the bed.

Sunday October 29 is National Sleep-In Day 2023 – the day the clocks go back, and we all get to have an extra hour in bed (whoop). 

If you share a bed with a snorer, a hogger or a wriggler then chances are you’re not sleeping as well as you could.
