When I put my issues and Fitbit findings to Natalie, she surprised me by commending my pre-sleep radio habit. That, she said, was my regime – and simply having a regime is more important than what it looks like.

Rather than striving for the luxurious nine hours I think I need, she went on to suggest that I aim for fewer hours of shut-eye. That way, I’d be able to close the gap between reality and expectation (and it’s also worth flagging that there is such a thing as too much sleep).

I confessed to her that I often sleep with my bedroom skylight open, finding waking up to a little natural light helpful, and that my strategy for reducing screen time at night is to literally tell myself that if I sleep earlier, I can spend more time scrolling in the morning. Again, Natalie explained that those were key elements of my own sleep routine and that, rather than trying to break those habits, I should strive to find ways to keep them consistent – whether I’m sleeping in London, Aberdeen or anywhere else in the world.
