In this week’s Sleep Diaries, a 27-year-old A&E nurse learns how to cope with restlessness when she gets into bed.
At around 11pm I clean my face, brush my teeth and take my before my baby wakes up for his final feed. Once he’s done and fallen back to sleep, I pop him back in his cot and head to bed where I scroll for a bit before putting on aI wake up around 2.30am: neither of my children need anything, but my brain has woken me up in a mild panic. Shortly after my baby wakes up, so I bring him in with me to feed. I accidentally leave the light on, so I’m half-awake until 3.
6.50am: the toddler wakes and the baby is still awake, so my husband gets up with them so I can catch up on some sleep . My alarm wakes me at 8.20am. I’m not ready to wake up but my husband is being picked up at 9am for his work trip so I have to get up. Once he’s gone, I make coffee and some breakfast and then get the boys ready to go out. At 10am we leave the house for a walk with my friend.My parents come around for the evening to have dinner and help with the boys. I make a vegetable pasta and my dad brings a lemon curd sponge for dessert.
I make coffee and breakfast , then get us all dressed. We head out to forest school at around 9.30am.I notice a migraine coming on at around 5.30pm. Thankfully my parents are free and are just around the corner, so they come and collect the boys so I can recover. I wake up for good at 8am feeling better. I relax in bed for a while then get up at 8.40am to have a shower and get ready. I eat breakfast , then head to my parents to pick up the boys and get a nice coffee courtesy of my Dad., sleep expert and professional physiologist, says:

Shorter sleep among adolescents is associated with lower fruit and vegetable consumption the following day - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical ActivityBackground Insufficient sleep has been associated with weight gain and metabolic dysregulation, with one suggested mechanism being through reduction in diet quality. Experimental evidence supports a causal effect of sleep timings on diet but this may not be applicable to a free-living adolescent population. In this analysis we use daily measures of sleep timings and diet quality, to examine the effect of sleep duration and timing on diet quality the following day among free-living adolescents. Methods The ROOTS study is a prospective cohort recruited from secondary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk (UK). Participants (n = 815) at mean age 15.0y (SD 0.3y) completed a diet diary and wore a combined heart rate and accelerometer device over 4 consecutive days. Sleep duration and timing (midpoint) were derived from acceleration and heart rate traces, while daily energy density and fruit and vegetable intake were calculated from dietary data. Analyses were performed at day-level (1815 person-days). Multilevel random effects models were used to test associations between sleep each night and subsequent day diet, with daily sleep and diet measures nested within individuals and schools, and adjusted for day-level and individual-level confounding variables. Results Adolescents slept a mean of 7.88 hrs (SD 1.10) per night, reporting a mean energy density of 2.12 kcal/g (SD 0.48) and median energy-adjusted daily fruit and vegetable intake of 137.3 g (IQR 130.4). One hour shorter sleep duration was associated with lower intake of fruit and vegetables (-6.42 g, 95%CI -1.84, -10.99) the following day. An association with higher dietary energy density (0.016 kcal/g, 95%CI 0.034, -0.002) the following day was observed but did not reach statistical significance. Sleep timing was not associated with either fruit and vegetable intake (-2.52 g/d, 95%CI -7.66, 2.62) or dietary energy density (-0.001 kcal/g, 95%CI -0.022, 0.020). Conclusions Our observational findings from a free-livin
