Be it hay fever, humidity or warmer weather, there are a good number of reasons people may be struggling to doze off at the moment.
And while getting woken up in the middle of the night, or finding it difficult to get to sleep in the first place, is sometimes unavoidable, it's vital to get proper rest for both mental and physical health.
With that in mind, the sleep experts at MattressNextDay have shared a number of ways to help you doze off at night - including an unusual toe tensing tip.
If you've had a few nights of bad sleep, chances are that you'll be feeling more tense than usual. If this is the case, try alternately tensing and relaxing your toes for a count of 10 each time.
Dr Kathryn A. Boling, a Mercy Medical Center family medicine specialist based in Lutherville, Maryland told Sleep.com that this draws attention away from the rest of your body, and helps you relax more quickly.
Experts also recommend using a hairdryer to remove pet hair and dust from under your bed, as well as pollen.
The MattressNextDay expert commented: "I recommend that you dust every room in your house at least once a month. When it comes to your bedroom, you should aim to dust it every week.
"Make sure all windows are also open, so it creates a well-ventilated environment for the dust to escape."
The experts also recommend a warm, steamy drink before bedtime, as it can not only soothe your sore throat but the steam will help loosen up your congestion.

J. Kim Murphy The book club can’t topple comic books, as Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will easily hold off the opening of “Book Club: The Next Chapter” to retain the top spot at the box office. “The Next Chapter” earned $2.14 million on its opening day, projecting a debut of $7 million from 3,508 locations for the three-day frame. That’s on the lower end of estimates heading into the weekend. While there’s hope that the Focus Features release will be able to earn a boost in ticket sales on the Mother’s Day holiday, the sequel won’t be able to match its predecessor. Released by Paramount in 2018, the first “Book Club” debuted to $13.5 million before legging out to a $68 million gross in North America — a solid result for an older-skewing comedy, especially before the COVID pandemic impacted the theatrical landscape.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic It’s beyond obvious that women deserve a movie that portrays and celebrates them in their sixties and seventies reveling in the joys of romantic adventure and uninhibited sex. It’s not so obvious that they deserved “Book Club,” the 2018 comedy about four hale, hearty, and prosperous senior friends who read “Fifty Shades of Grey” in their monthly literary white-wine klatsch, only to discover that E.L. James’s S&M princess fantasy jump-starts their hibernating libidos and/or their desire to commit to the men who are courting them. You could use a whole Thesaurus paragraph of withering descriptives to evoke the sort of movie “Book Club” was. It was prefab, it was cookie-cutter, it was paint-by-numbers, it was broad enough to play to the peanut gallery, it was four glorified sitcoms jammed into one overly synthetic package.
