There's nothing better than getting a good night's sleep. The type where you wake up feeling refreshed and raring for the day ahead.
In fact, we’re designed to spend a third of our lives sleeping so getting your head down really is vital. But if like us, you're tired of tossing and turning all night, or worse still, feeling like you've blinked and your alarm has gone off for work the next morning, it turns out there's a pretty simple solution.
While research has proven that meditation can help to reduce stress and minimise anxiety, according to Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, certain types can also improve the quality of our sleep, as well as our mood during waking hours.
In her book The Little Book of Sleep, Dr Nerina details a simple five-step 'acceptance' meditation that she says will lull the user into an emotionally and physically healing 'sattvic' sleep.
Sweet dreams: While research has proven that meditation can reduce stress and anxiety, sleep expert Dr Nerina Ramlakhan says 'acceptance meditation' can have a large impact on the quality of our sleep
The London-based physiologist has appeared on numerous national TV and radio programmes to share her expertise with the world. She says the history of insomnia goes back to the time of our earliest ancestors because 'they lived in a world that was so unsafe that it might have been dangerous to pass out for seven or eight hours on a mat of leaves'
Dr Nerina, who has been a professional physiologist and sleep therapist for 25 years, explains that her 'simple' ritual consists of reciting a mantra and practicing the art of self-acceptance.
The physiologist, who has dedicated her career to helping people sleep, says that those who follow her simple steps will be rewarded with something called 'sattvic' sleep - the kind that allows you to wake up feeling refreshed and filled with energy to face the day ahead.
According to Dr Nerina, this form of meditation has two major benefits - not only will it help lull you to sleep but will also help you to feel better about yourself.
'Being hard on yourself stops you letting go; it stops you feeling at ease and accepting rest and deep sleep,' the expert explains in her book.
'Practicing loving self-acceptance is an important step towards a good night's sleep.'
WHAT IS SATTVIC SLEEP?
Dr Nerina says the 'acceptance' meditation promotes sattvic sleep
Sattva is Sanskrit for light, goodness and purity, and is one of the three virtues in Hindu philosophy; alongside tamas (a state of inactivity), and rajas (a state of energy).
As such sattva refers to anything that has natural qualities of purity and goodness.
It also can refer to an emotional or mental state in which the mind is at peace.
Far from tossing and turning through the night and waking exhausted, sattvic sleep will leave you deeply rested.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
