that's around.

And many of us have experienced that if you're working really hard and perhaps you're not getting your seven to nine hours of sleep, which is what is recommended for adults, that you're a bit run down and then the next thing you've got a virus.

So I think, look, it's different for everyone.

And I think that's one of the things that did come out during the series is that there's a lot of individual variation and many of the sleep hygiene tips that we give are

will work for a lot of people but not everybody.

So, you know, I've got some patients who, you know, wear that three-hour rule, you know, you shouldn't eat a big meal before sleep.

So some people are eating between 5 and 6 p.m.

and then they're not actually going to sleep till maybe 11 p.m.,

And for some people, having a bit of a snack before bed might actually help them to get off to sleep because it's been, you know, several hours since they've eaten.

It also depends how much you eat too.

And I think it also changes with ageing as well.

So a lot of older people are eating less regularly.

as they get older compared to what they would need when they were younger.
