‘Wanting to sleep more in winter is not natural and nothing to 2
worry about, unless you are sleeping for more than twelve hours a 3
day,’ says sleep expert Dr James B. Maas. The reason for we feel 4
drowsy has as much to do with our biochemistry as it does so with 5

wanting to sniggle up like a couch potato indoors. ‘It’s all to do 6
with melatonin,’ explains Dr Maas, ‘a hormone with which is 7
secreted by the brain’s pineal gland in response to darkness’. 8
They may feel more sleepy, but as many people find getting to 9
sleep in winter is a problem. It’s hardly surprising. When lounging 10
around indoors drinking mugs of warming up coffee and snacking 11
on chocolate bars doesn’t always prepare you for a good 12
night’s rest. If you do have trouble nodding off, Deepak Chopra 13
has this tip: ‘Try a soothing mix of the sweet and sour 14
essential oils, such as orange, geranium and clove are mixed with 15
almond oil and rubbed it on to your forehead just before bedtime.’ 16
