Clipper takes sleep seriously and those precious hours we dedicate to slumber should be the best they can be. With tea drinking viewed as comforting by 71% of respondents in a recent Mintel survey1, there seems no better way to relax before bed than with one of Clipper\u2019s delicious, caffeine-free sleep blends or decaffeinated black tea.<\/p>\n

However, for anyone struggling when it comes to hitting the hay, try some of these top tips on how to get a good night\u2019s sleep2.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stick to a sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps your body get into a natural rhythm.<\/p>\n

\u2022 During the afternoon opt for caffeine-free or decaffeinated drinks like the Clipper Organic Decaf. Caffeine has an average half-life of five to seven hours which means that it can take five to seven hours for the body to remove 50% of caffeine ingested.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Choose a pillow like the Studio by SlientNight which has 3 mix and match removable pillow pads to help you find the perfect height and comfort, making it suited to all sleeping styles and ensuring that your body is kept aligned throughout the night.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ditch the diet, as calorie restriction has shown to have a negative effect on sleep.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wash your face! The act of doing this, whether it\u2019s hot or cold water, helps dissipate heat from the surface of the skin as it evaporates, thus cooling the inner body core.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Try to go to bed early. Sleep expert Dr Nerina Ramlakhan3 advises that \u201ceven if you get a good amount of sleep (7-9 hours) going to bed late is likely to lead to a large amount of your sleep being highly inefficient and without health benefits\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eat cherries after dinner as these are a great source of the sleep hormone melatonin.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Take a hot bath before bed as the drop in body temperature after getting out may help you feel sleepy. It has been found that to successfully initiate sleep your core temperature needs to decrease by about 1 degree Celsius! \u2022 Take a magnesium supplement as this can help muscles relax \u2022 Ensure you have a good sleeping environment which is cool in temperature and free from distractions.<\/p>\n

So sip on one of these delicious Clipper blends at least 30 minutes before bed, pop any worries or stresses down in a notebook and settle down for an extra-long restorative sleep<\/p>\n
