As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, Dr Jonny Bloomfield, a sleep expert who has helped Premier League stars rest easy, answered questions on Twitter as part of a series of Q&A sessions with industry experts. 

And he has 10 tips to follow which will help you sleep well.

- Have a great reason to get up in the morning. Feeling valued is so important, so seek your purpose and look forward to each day
- Wake up, get up. The most important time of the day is the morning, it starts the countdown for the next sleep
- Morning sunlight and even some fresh air keep the body clock on track
- Eat a protein rich breakfast. Slow release energy
- Keep organised. Manage your time well and aim to keep your evening free
- Keep perspective. Don't let things get on top of you unnecessarily
- Diet and exercise can determine how well you sleep that night
- Consume carefully - alcohol, caffeine and screen time can cripple your sleep
- Boring bedroom. Keep it free from technology or textbooks
- Stick to a routine. Keep the same sleep/wake times seven days a week!
