Question: What is your best tip for sleep, I never can X(

Hi do the YMCA thanks for the question. I don’t just have one tip, I have a collection of tips for you. Sleep professionals will often subscribe something called ‘sleep hygiene’ to people who want to sleep better. This includes advice such as: staying off your phone or playing computer games right before bed, only using your bedroom for snoozing, keeping a consistent bedtime (something you probably already do for school), avoiding eating right before bed, and putting your phone in ‘night mode’ (which removes the blue light) after dark. If you want to read a bit more about how you can sleep better check out these sleep hygiene tips from the NHS 🙂 https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sleep-and-tiredness/how-to-get-to-sleep/
