Take a hot water bottle to bed A hot water bottle is apparently one of the Queenβs essentials when it comes to getting ready for bed. According to historian Robert K. Massie, it is placed between her sheets before she gets in to warm up the bed and ensure her slumber spot is comfortable. A hot water bottle is also known to help soothe muscle pains, after a long day on your feet. | 2. Have a cup of Earl Grey Itβs well known that too much caffeine can disrupt sleep and keep us awake at night. Instead, take a leaf out of Her Majesty the Queenβs book and have a cup of Earl Grey β which is naturally lower in caffeine than coffee or breakfast tea β and has a calming effect on the body, to help you doze off. |  |  | 3. Read a chapter of your favourite book Scrolling through your phone before bed will impact your ability to drift off, as the blue light emitted blocks melatonin production β a hormone secreted to help you sleep. A better activity would be reading a chapter of your favourite book, as this will help you relax and detach your mind from the goings on of your day or worrying about what tomorrow will bring. | 4. Go for a walk during the day The Queen reportedly walks around the grounds of Windsor Castle daily β either with or without her corgis β and doing this type of cardio is known to help us sleep better at night. Amongst other benefits, exercise helps us feel more tired, reduces stress levels, and is shown to link to a higher percentage of deep sleep, the most restorative cycle of our rest. |  |  | 5. Aim for 8 hours a night According to rumours, the queen goes to bed at 11pm and gets up at 730am, clocking up a respectable eight and a half hours of sleep a night. This tallies with research from the Sleep Foundation which states that 7-9 hours of sleep a night for an adult is optimum. | 6. Get yourself a mattress fit for a Queen Whilst weβre not suggesting you go out and spend more than Β£100,000 on your bed β which is reportedly what the Queenβs Savoir bed set her back β sleeping on a good mattress can do wonders for your sleep. Nectarβs memory foam β with 3cm of memory foam β is designed to optimise sleep and make sure you wake up feeling refreshed. |  | 1.
