Is your day ruining your night's sleep? YOU THINK LIKE AN INSOMNIACPeople with sleep issues often harbour unhelpful beliefs about sleep. For example, during the day they tell themselves how important it is that they sleep that night or their performance the next day will suffer.

The result of this is that at night, your system thinks it's unsafe to produce melatonin, the essential sleep hormone.
