We've been thinking a lot about sleep here at Metro.co.uk.

From how to possess the perfect nap to new research that shows sleep quality depletes in your mid-20s, clearly we're in all search of ways to get better shut-eye and feel less tired come sunrise.

Stress is one of the biggest factors that's cited like a reason so many of us feel our resting hours aren't as good as they may be.

We might pretend the new year brings in a brand new personality shift, but it's likely exactly the same ghosts that kept you awake during the night on December 31 will still be haunting yourself on January 1.

While there might be bigger, underlying issues to tackle, there are some more surface-level things you can do to help you sleep better.

Staring together with your beauty routine. Methods like aromatherapy and products that request you to focus on your senses (mindfully), have the possibility to advertise a better night's sleep.
