World Sleep Day Survey

A big thank you to the 260+ participants who took part in our sleep survey! Your insights have given us a fascinating glimpse into how we sleep – and how we can improve it.

Bedtime Habits: 

  • 55% of respondents go to bed between 10 and 11 PM, while 24% head to bed between 11 and 12 PM. 
  • Many aim for a regular bedtime on weekdays, yet 54% vary their sleep schedule on weekends, which can contribute to the dreaded Sunday night sleep struggles. 

Bedtime Routines: 

  • 72% of people have a bedtime ritual, with reading being the most popular wind-down activity. 
  • Other common bedtime habits include meditation, breathing exercises, skincare routines, and enjoying a hot drink. 
  • Many also use podcasts, audiobooks, or screen time before bed – but beware! Blue light from screens can interfere with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. 

The Impact of Routine: 

  • 28% of respondents don’t have a sleep routine at all. Without a proper wind-down period, falling asleep can become more challenging. 

Stick to a Regular Sleep Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day – yes, even on weekends!  

Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Unwind with calming activities like reading, gentle stretches, or breathing exercises.  

Limit Screen Time Before Bed: Swap your phone for a book or calming music to avoid blue light disruptions. 

Prioritising sleep is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind. Start tonight and see the difference!Â
