Do you often wake in the small hours of the morning and struggle to get back to sleep? Have you developed a particular trick to nod off again? Does counting sheep ever really work – or perhaps you’ve found that a certain type of deep breathing is effective?

Do you listen to a particular podcast at a specific volume that has a lulling effect? Or do you ‘go somewhere’ mentally, perhaps recalling the day-by-day itinerary of a memorable holiday? We want to hear all of your inventive ways of beating the 3am scaries getting yourself back to sleep, for a useful lifestyle feature.
