What are the major things that stop you getting a good night's rest?
We all know that sleeping soundly is good for us and our brains and allows us to awake not only refreshed but often brimming with good new ideas. Sleeping this well can be hard to do when you're just starting out in any new venture, whether business or personal, but there are things you can do to help.
One tip I would offer is to make sure you always keep a pen and paper by your bedside and, if putting on a light is likely to wake a sleeping partner, keep a small flashlight there too. When something wakes you, write it down and, this is the important bit, give yourself explicit permission to go back to sleep.
Another tip is simple, but hard to do - leave your mobile phone, laptop and tablet outside the bedroom! Going to sleep with your brain buzzing with digital input does not promote peaceful slumber!
Third, again simple, but nowadays rarely done - lay out everything you need to get going in the morning before you go to bed. And if you wake realising you've forgotten something, well, you can
