How to fall asleep anywhere this half term – including upright plane seats, bumpy car rides and unfamiliar hotel beds
WE all function better after a decent night's sleep, but sometimes life gets in the way and we simply can't bank the hours of shut-eye we need to feel energised, upbeat and alert. Getting up at the crack of dawn for an early morning flight, long train journeys on uncomfortable seats, and staying in unfamiliar hotel beds can make it difficult to get the slumber we want. We may even find it hard to squeeze in a daytime nap on the sofa or in the car when our bodies are crying out for some more rest. Joshua Piper, sleep clinician at Resmed UK, tells Sun Health: 'Whether you're on a plane, in a hotel or trying to sneak a power nap in the car, falling asleep away from home can be tricky. 'Thankfully, there are some sneaky little tips that can help you to sleep, no matter your location.' In a hotel bed… 7 YOU'VE splashed out for a trip overseas, staying in a nice hotel with a bed that's far more luxurious than the one you have at home. Yet for some reason, your sleep couldn't be worse. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Research by the Sleep Foundation found that the majority of people get less sleep in hotels than at home. When asked where they slept best, a measly 13 per cent of people chose hotels compared with 65 per cent who chose their own bed. Plus, only 54 per cent of people questioned said they got seven hours of sleep a night in a hotel. 'Hotel rooms can throw sleep patterns off with bright lighting, unfamiliar beds, and that 'not-quite-home' vibe,' says Joshua. 'Even if the bed is great, your brain is subconsciously on alert. It's called the 'first night effect'.' 'One half of your brain stays more vigilant in a new setting as a survival mechanism, especially during deep sleep stages,' adds Jules Goldberg, an expert in sleep health and technology and founder of sleep tech brands, Sleepwave and Snorelab. Jet lag can play a role, but your production of the sleepy hormone melatonin can take a hit regardless of timezone. Routine is key here, according to Joshua. 'Keeping your bedtime routine the same, even on the road, is one of the simplest ways to ease into sleep,' he says. 'Brush your teeth, do your skincare routine, read your usual two pages of a book. Do whatever tells your brain 'it's time for bed'.' Jules adds: 'Keep the room cool and dark. Try setting the temperature to around 18C, which is ideal for sleeping. 'And if the curtains don't quite cut it, a sleep mask can help you block out the light.' She also suggests bringing something familiar to the hotel. 'Whether it's your pillowcase or a small item from home, that sense of familiarity can help signal to your brain that it's time to switch off,' she says. On a plane… 7 A LONG journey means a long snooze, right? Well, it's not quite so easy. Joshua says that sensory overload can make sleep very difficult. Think loud noises, people talking and unless you've splashed out for business class, you'll likely be in an upright, uncomfortable seat too. Where possible, select your seat in advance - and choose wisely. 'A window seat away from foot traffic helps, and sitting over the engine can provide that steady white noise effect,' says Joshua. Aim to keep your sleep short too - around 20 minutes maximum. You want to feel refreshed, not groggy Jules GoldbergSleep expert The exact location of over-engine seats varies, but they're typically in the middle, near the wings of the plane, or to the rear of the plane. 'Eye masks, neck pillows, warm socks and a blanket go a long way too,' says Joshua. 'And a proper travel pillow can stop your head from nodding and waking you up repeatedly,' adds Jules. Wear loose clothing when you fly so that your movement isn't restricted. And if you have time before a flight, try to squeeze in some exercise, such as a brisk walk, jog or gym session. Research published in the journal Advances in Preventive Medicine found that exercise improves sleep quality and duration. In the car… 7 MUCH like in a plane, if you have a long car journey ahead, you might be planning a little sleep, if the driver doesn't mind you dozing off! For a decent rest, recline your seat slightly. 'Being fully upright makes it harder for your body to enter proper rest,' says Jules. 'Even 15 to 20 degrees helps.' As for background noise, go for calm, instrumental music. 'Ambient playlists work best,' says Jules. 'But if you prefer, choose a chatty radio station as this may help you to drift off. 'Aim to keep your sleep short too - around 20 minutes maximum. You want to feel refreshed, not groggy.' Whatever you do, make sure you're safe and stay belted if you're in a moving vehicle. On the sofa… 7 BIG night ahead and want to bank some sleep so you can stay awake into the early hours? 'If you're going for a tactical 3pm sofa snooze, aim for it to be around 20 minutes,' says Joshua. 'This is typically enough to recharge without dipping into deep sleep. 'Most of us take eight to 10 minutes to drift off, so set an alarm accordingly.' While you can't force sleep, you can create a peaceful, sleep-promoting environment. 'Even if you don't fall fully asleep, a period of restful stillness can recharge you enough to feel sharper and more energised,' Jules says. 'Dim the lights as bright light confuses your internal clock, and do a short breathing exercise or body scan to calm your system.' We tested 10 sleep aids to see which ones really work By Alice Fuller, Health Features Editor FROM magnesium to meditation, there are hundreds of alleged tricks to help you get a good night's sleep. But which ones really work, and which ones are a waste of time and money? As a team, we put 10 of the most popular to the test. Some had us nodding off within minutes of hitting the hay. Others, not so much. If you're one of the 16million Brits with insomnia or other sleep troubles, here are some products and lifestyle tweaks you might want to try - and the ones you're better off without… ASHWAGANDHA - 5/5 LACTIUM AND LACTOFERRIN - 0/5 BLACKOUT SLEEP MASK - 4/5 INFRARED SAUNA - 3/5 NO BOOZE - 3/5 MEDITATION APPS - 3/5 SLEEPY GIRL MOCKTAIL - 3/5 DIGITAL DETOX - 2/5 WARM FEET - 5/5 SLEEP GOGGLES - 4/5 You can read our full verdict here. In the journal Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, mindfulness activities like body scans were shown to help improve sleep quality and even reduce some sleep issues. A body scan involves focusing on a spot on your body, such as your right foot, and noticing how it feels or if there is any pain or tension. Then, you move on to another area until you've covered your entire body. By this point, you're hopefully drifting off - or already asleep! On a boat… 7 WHETHER it's a cruise ship, ferry or commuter boat, trying to catch some Zzzs on the water isn't always smooth sailing. 'With long-term motion comes some detriment,' says Joshua. 'Motion sickness has been shown to have negative effects on sleep duration and quality. 'This often creates a vicious cycle, as sleepiness increases the risk of motion-related illness.' The best thing you can do is maintain a consistent sleep schedule, sticking to your wind-down activities like normal to prepare your body for sleep. For me, the bedroom is for sleep and, if the stars align, sex! That's it. No TV, no laptop, no doom-scrolling. Otherwise, your brain won't associate that space with winding down Joshua PiperSleep clinician Avoid using screens before hitting the hay as this can exacerbate the symptoms of motion sickness as your brain is receiving conflicting signals from your eyes and inner ear about movement. But, boat sleeping isn't all bad. Joshua says that the gentle rocking can actually help support sleep. 'Plus, quite often, being at sea means you are governed by natural light, which can have positive effects on sleep as you align more closely to your natural circadian rhythm, aka your body clock,' he adds. 'We also tend to have reduced noise pollution and other environmental disturbances. 'Just make sure everything is tied down!' In your own bed… 7 WE all want to get good sleep at home. While the NHS recommends we get seven to nine hours of sleep each night, half of Brits don't get nearly enough, according to research by YouGov. More than a third (34 per cent) struggled to drift off three or more times a week, and almost half (44 per cent) have called in sick to work because of extreme tiredness, research by Resmed shows. Making your bedroom a sleep sanctuary goes a long way in improving your shut-eye. 'It's about giving your brain the right signals,' Joshua says. 'For me, the bedroom is for sleep and, if the stars align, sex! That's it. No TV, no laptop, no doom-scrolling. 'Otherwise, your brain won't associate that space with winding down.' You also don't need to spend thousands of pounds on blackout blinds or fancy gadgets. 'Start with small steps, like an eye mask, a bit of down time before bed, even dimming the lights,' he adds. 'Stick to the same wake-up time (on weekends too) and get some morning sunlight. 'It's the best natural reset for your body clock.'

These Sleep Positions Could Be a Hidden Sign of Stress, Health Experts Say
Stress activates the body's fight-or-flight response, which can carry over into sleep. Experts say positions like curling into a tight fetal pose, sleeping face-down, or clenching fists may be unconscious physical responses to stress or emotional discomfort. Postures such as hugging a pillow, tightly curling up, or tossing and turning throughout the night can reflect a need for safety, self-soothing, or a struggle to fully relax. Adopting supportive postures—like side-sleeping with proper alignment, sleeping on your back with relaxed limbs, or using a weighted blanket—can help reduce tension and promote more restful people experience at least a little stress during the day; but for some, it lingers into the night, affecting their sleep. Everyone responds to stress in their own way, and for certain people, it influences their sleeping position. We may not pay much attention to how we're sleeping at night, but the way we're positioned in bed could be indicative of the stress of our daily lives or associated with a major problem or event. So how, exactly, does stress impact our sleep? We spoke with three sleep experts to find out which sleeping positions are associated with stress, and which ones you can adopt for a healthier night's Carlos Nunez, M.D., chief medical officer at Resmed Nicole Moshfegh, PsyD, licensed clinical and health service psychologist and founder and director of We Rise Psychology Steve Carstensen, DDS, board-certified dentist and sleep expertA recent global sleep survey from Resmed found that stress is the number-one disruptor of a good night's rest. And in many cases, your sleeping position might be saying more than you think. 'The posture you unconsciously adopt at night can reflect how your nervous system is coping,' says Carlos Nunez, M.D., chief medical officer at Resmed. When we are stressed, our 'fight-or-flight' response—or sympathetic nervous system—is activated, says Nicole Moshfegh, PsyD, licensed clinical and health service psychologist. This response causes a range of different physical and chemical reactions in our brain and body designed to help us prepare and respond to danger, she explains. 'This includes things like increased heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure and muscle tension,' Moshfegh says. 'As a result of these physical sensations and chemical reactions—like increased cortisol—it can be difficult for the body to relax.' This can prompt someone to attempt to self-soothe by sleeping in a more protective position. 'A person hugging a pillow or curling tightly may be unconsciously trying to replicate the calming sensations of pressure and security—behaviors often observed in both children and adults under duress,' Nunez adds. 'Your body communicates—even when you're asleep. A tense, curled-up posture can reflect a mind under pressure.' Additionally, when our fight-or-flight response is activated, it can also affect sleep quality—making you more restless, for example, says Steve Carstensen, DDS, dentist and sleep expert. On top of that, increased brain activity and muscles that are ready to spring into action can result in lighter sleep. 'This will allow the brain to feel more pressure from any sleep position, prompting a shift to a different posture for more comfort,' he explains. 'During restful sleep, sensory inputs are more filtered, and the brain won't react as easily.' Can the way we sleep really offer insight into the stress we're experiencing during the day? 'Although sleeping positions may not always indicate stress and may just be a matter of preference, they can still sometimes be clues into whether someone is experiencing increased stress,' Moshfegh says. Here are a few examples. This side-sleeping posture, with knees drawn to the chest and arms tucked in, is one of the most common positions during periods of high stress, Nunez says. It's a type of self-soothing—a protective instinct akin to curling up for safety. 'People who frequently adopt a tightly curled fetal position may be more emotionally sensitive or anxious,' he explains. 'The tighter the curl, the more their body may be signaling a desire for protection or comfort—especially during stressful times.' Stomach sleepers—especially those who splay their arms or hug the pillow—may appear carefree, but it could be a sign that they're stressed, Nunez says. Known as the 'freefall' position, this posture has been associated with internalized stress or a need for control. 'It's a vulnerable position that may reflect heightened tension, even if the sleeper appears relaxed,' he adds. If you sleep with your fists clenched, there's a good chance that you're also clenching your jaw and/or grinding your teeth—and waking up with some pain in your hands and jaw, Moshfegh says. 'Physical tension during sleep can indicate stress, particularly if you are also experiencing disturbing dreams—which you may or may not remember,' she explains. Some people don't have a regular sleeping position because they spend the night tossing, turning, and repositioning themselves in bed. 'Typically, when people are stressed or anxious, they will experience more disrupted or fragmented sleep, which can lead to constant movement at night,' Moshfegh says. 'Sometimes it may also indicate other underlying conditions, such as restless leg syndrome.' While it's important to address the root causes of your stress, it can also be helpful to start out the night in a healthier sleeping position. The goal is 'trying to get yourself in the most comfortable position that feels best for you, to encourage less disrupted sleep,' Moshfegh says. Here are a few to try. Lie on your side, ensuring that your spine is aligned and your head is comfortably supported by a pillow, Moshfegh says. 'Many people find that sleeping with a pillow between their knees helps to reduce pressure on their lower back,' she notes. 'This position can encourage spinal alignment and may lead to reduced muscle tension—especially as opposed to curling up tight.' Along the same lines, stomach sleepers may benefit from using a body pillow to transition to side-sleeping, Nunez adds. 'This preserves the sensation of pressure and support while avoiding the strain and vulnerability of face-down sleep,' he explains. 'Side-sleeping, when properly supported, can ease muscular tension and promote more restorative rest.' This may not be the best position for someone who snores or has sleep apnea, but for others, it could promote natural spine alignment and allow your body to rest in a more open and low-tension posture, Moshfegh explains. 'It may also help aid in physical ailments such as carpal tunnel by reducing pressure,' she notes. When sleeping on your back, Nunez recommends placing a pillow under your knees to reduce lumbar strain and help your muscles fully relax. '[It] can offer a sense of openness and surrender,' he says. If you notice that you sleep tightly curled up, try relaxing into a more neutral 'semi-fetal' posture, Nunez says. 'Gently extend your legs and arms to reduce tension,' he explains. 'This subtle shift signals to your body that you are safe, which can in turn reduce the stress response.' According to Moshfegh, some people find that using weighted blankets can assist them in soothing their nervous system. It may also help prevent extra tension-associated movements in the middle of the night, she adds. Of course, addressing the stress you experience at night requires more than changing your sleeping position. 'While adopting a healthier sleeping position may help, it may be even more effective to attempt to examine what has been causing the stress and see if there are things you can do to alleviate the stressor or work on incorporating more stress management strategies during the day—like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, etc.,' Moshfegh says.

As the Official Sleep Partner, Resmed will launch 'Tackle Your Sleep,' a digital and content focused campaign featuring legendary rugby players. The campaign takes a light-hearted look at serious sleep health issues affecting players and the fans in Australia, the UK, and Ireland, with the rugby legends sharing advice and tools to support better sleep. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of quality sleep for the rugby players and fans, as the third pillar of health, alongside exercise and diet1. Poor sleep can take a serious toll on mental health, physical health2, relationships3, and daily performance4.

Despite these known negative effects, Resmed's 2025 Global Sleep Survey found that one in four people globally are choosing to live with poor sleep6. Katrin Pucknat, Chief Marketing Officer of Resmed, said: 'Poor sleep affects every aspect of our lives, but the good news is there are steps we can take to improve our sleep health. 'As the Official Sleep Partner of the tour, we're excited to raise awareness about the powerful connection between sleep and athletic performance and inspire fans to think about the role that sleep plays in their own lives, while having some fun along the way.' Ben Calveley, CEO of The British & Irish Lions said: 'The Lions are always seeking new ways to support our players and management team and sleep is a vital component of performance. 'Resmed adds another dimension to our acclimatisation and recovery strategies, ensuring the squad is primed to perform for the duration of the Tour. They will also be sharing insights to help travelling supporters stay well rested and in full voice for each fixture.' Rugby Australia CEO, Phil Waugh said: 'Resmed is a leader in their field and we're incredibly pleased to welcome them as an official partner for this year's British & Irish Lions Tour. 'Quality sleep is certainly important for our players to perform at their best but there's no doubt good sleep is just as vital for all those celebrating and connecting throughout the Tour across Australia.'

More than one billion people suffer from sleep apnea, while 860 million suffer from insomnia and 480 million from COPD, opening up many opportunities for ResMed to provide its devices and services. The company also reported a strong set of financial results for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 (9M FY2025) ending 31 March 2025.

Net profit excluding one-off items climbed 28.8% year on year to US$1 billion. The business also generated a positive free cash flow of US$1.15 billion for 9M FY2025, up 31.3% year on year.

Just last week, Resmed announced the acquisition of VirtuOx, an independent diagnostic testing facility for sleep, respiratory, and cardiac conditions. ADVERTISEMENT This purchase will support Resmed's growth in virtual care while expanding its access to diagnosis. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) Meta Platforms is a social media company that owns popular chat app WhatsApp, video and photo sharing site Instagram, and social media platform Facebook. The social media behemoth dominates the industry with these brands, and its various apps generate significant advertising dollars for the company that making it tough to rival. The company reported a sparkling set of earnings for the first quarter of 2025 (1Q 2025). Revenue rose 16% year on year to US$42.3 billion while operating profit surged 27% year on year to US$17.6 billion. Net profit jumped 35% year on year to US$16.6 billion. The social media company also reported a free cash flow of US$11.1 billion, down 13.7% year on year. ADVERTISEMENT Capital expenditure for 1Q 2025 was elevated because of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to spend up to US$65 billion to power its artificial intelligence (AI) goals. Meta Platforms continued to see its family daily active people (DAP) metric improve, rising by 6% year on year to 3.43 billion, showcasing increased engagement on its platform. The social media giant also increased its quarterly dividend from US$0.50 to US$0.525 for a 5% year-on-year increase. Looking ahead, Meta should do well as it integrates AI into its platform to power its apps and bring in more users and advertisers. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) Netflix is the leading streaming television (TV) player offering a broad slate of movies and TV shows on its platform. Netflix is one of the most popular video-on-demand platforms in the US, with a market share of around 21%, losing out just slightly to Amazon Prime.

Operating profit climbed 27.1% year on year to US$3.3 billion while net profit soared 23.9% year on year to US$2.9 billion. Free cash flow for the quarter amounted to US$2.7 billion, up 24.5% year on year from US$2.1 billion.
