Sleep Habits to Banish in 2025

Sleep Habits to Banish in 2025: Time to Change!

As we dive into 2025, it's the perfect moment to refresh our routines and kick those pesky sleep habits that have been dragging us down. Are you ready to give your sleep a makeover? Let’s take a look at the top sleep sabotages that we need to banish this year for some seriously epic ZZZs!

1. The Late-Night Scroller 

We all know the drill: you're cosy in bed, and those social media notifications are calling your name. Before you know it, 1 AM hits, and you’re lost in the rabbit hole of adorable cat videos and endless tweets.

Banishing Tip: Set a “no screen” rule an hour before bed. Instead, grab a book, meditate, or write in a journal. Your eyes (and brain) will thank you!

2. The Caffeine Lover After Dark 

That third (or fourth) cup of coffee in the afternoon seems harmless until it’s keeping you up at midnight. Caffeine may fuel your productivity during the day, but it turns into a wicked monster at bedtime.

Banishing Tip: Switch to herbal tea in the evening. Go for chamomile or lavender to signal that it's time to wind down. Your body will thank you… and so will your sleep cycle!

3. The Bedtime Snackaholic 

We get it; that midnight snack can be comforting. However, chomping down on chips or ice cream before bed might make your sleep uncomfortable and restless.

Banishing Tip: If you must snack, keep it light with something like yogurt or fruit. Your metabolism will appreciate it, and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed—ready to conquer the day!

4. The Stress-Fueled Sleepless Wonder 

Stress can sneak up on even the calmest among us, morphing into that anxious whirlwind that keeps you tossing and turning at night.

Banishing Tip: Create a pre-sleep ritual! Try deep breathing exercises, light stretching, or even a warm bath to help you relax. Let go of your worries, and embrace your pillow!

5. The Snooze Button Fiend 

Hit that snooze button, and you’ll effectively sabotage your morning! While those extra nine minutes may feel like a treat, they disrupt your sleep cycle and leave you groggier than ever.

Banishing Tip: Place your alarm clock across the room to make yourself get out of bed to turn it off. Once you’re up, let the day begin—and trust us, your future self will be grateful!

6. The Night Owl Who Claims to Be a Morning Person 

If you find yourself awake until the wee hours, but still insist that you can rise with the sun, it’s time for a reality check. Sleep deprivation isn’t cute!

Banishing Tip: Set a consistent bedtime that aligns with your personal sleep needs. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep, and stick to it! Your body thrives on consistency, and so will you!

7. The “It’s Too Quiet” Sleepers 

Some people can't sleep without the soothing sounds of a TV blaring or music playing. But here's the problem: this can lead to fragmented sleep and that dreaded feeling of not being well-rested.

Banishing Tip: Try white noise machines or soothing nature sounds instead. Or simply enjoy the natural quietude of nighttime—embrace the calm!

8. Sleeping On an Inadequate Mattress

We know money can feel tight at times and buying a new mattress isn't the sexiest of things. However, a mattress that is unsupportive and has more lumps in than your granny's semolina isn't doing you any favours.

Banishing Tip: Make 2025 the year for investing in a brand spanking new mattress. Always try to buy the best mattress you can afford. If you don't want to buy a mattress in one go you can always split the payment with Klarna. You can view all our mattresses here.
