The expert notes that a good quality sleep provides the opportunity for us to benefit from all the stages of sleep, “providing both mental and physical restoration”.
She said: “Following a good night’s rest, we can feel more energised, positive and ready for the day’s challenges.
“Adults with good sleep quality spend at least 85 percent of the time they are in bed, sleeping.
“In other words, if you spend 8.5h in bed each night, ideally at least 7.25h of that would be spent asleep, with the time taken to fall asleep and any awakenings during the night lasting less than 1.25h in total.”
