Struggling to get a decent night’s sleep? You’re certainly not alone. In the UK, millions of people wrestle with restlessness, early waking, or simply feeling exhausted despite going to bed at a reasonable hour.

We’ve all asked it, sometimes aloud, often while still staring at a screen long past what we know is sensible: “What time should I really go to bed?” The answer isn’t quite as simple as a single hour on the clock.
