Five ways to get a better night’s sleep without spending a lot of money
A GOOD night’s sleep is the one thing we can’t live without.
It’s National Sleep Week, so if you’re having trouble getting enough shut-eye, these tips can help when it’s time for bed. . .
Hello darkness: A dark, cool bedroom with blackout curtains is the best environment for a good night’s sleep.
If you can’t stretch to new curtains, try a sleep mask.
You can even make your own with scraps of fabric or an old T-shirt.

ROOM SERVICES: Did you know that the sound of rustling sheets can be enough to disrupt your sleep?
Hotels traditionally use microfiber or cotton sheets for a wonderful night’s sleep.
To celebrate National Sleep Week, Premier Inn is offering 30 per cent off its exclusive bedding bundles.
Take a look at premierinn.com/buy-our-bed.
GO OFFLINE: Develop a soothing bedtime routine by avoiding phone and TV screens for 30 minutes before hitting the pillow so your body has time to wind down.
White noise can help some people drift off, but also look for Binaural Beats’ free sleep playlists on YouTube.
The “delta frequencies” of these playlists are said to help deepen our sleep.
HAVE A BANANA: Limiting caffeine and alcohol and doing light exercise during the day can help you boost your nighttime energy.
Avoid a heavy meal right before bed and snack on a banana.
The fruit is rich in potassium, which is said to promote a good night’s sleep.
You can also try a cup of the new Aldi Sleep Tea, €1.29 for 20 bags. The chamomile and apple herbal tea is delicious.
BED DISTRIBUTION: A diet rich in magnesium or magnesium supplements can help promote better sleep.
Magnesium butter is becoming increasingly popular because it can help with sleep and also soften your skin.
Try the Feather & Down Soothing Sleep Butter, on offer at Boots for £7.50, normally £10.
