Wide Awake at 3am?
Calm Night-Time Worry, Quiet a Racing Mind and Get Back to Sleep
Awake at 3am again?
The Mental Health Foundation’s 2025 survey of 2,000 UK adults found that the average adult gets good-quality sleep on only three days a week, and one in three say worry and stress reduce their control over sleep. Wide Awake at 3am? is a calm, practical, CBT-informed guide to the small hours, written for UK readers and signposted to the NHS. Inside, you will learn how to:
- understand why you wake, and why 3am feels so dark
- know exactly what to do in the first ten seconds and the next twenty minutes
- park worries, settle your body and quiet a racing mind
- build days and evenings that help, and know when to ask your GP
Not medical advice. Just a gentler way through the night.
