jam too much into each day.

overindulge in wine or coffee or reach for high-sugar, high-fat
snacks while on the move rather than sitting down to a meal.

the recommendations of 14 units or less per week for both
men and women.

you feel.

colas, and energy drinks, can disrupt your sleep and make you
feel tense in addition to making you sleepy.

gradually cut back on caffeine.

shifts’ starting times keep shifting, this is more likely to occur.
