The
Royal Family lead incredibly busy lives, so it’s vital they get a good night’s
sleep as often as they can.

The
Queen is said to wind down from her days with a cup of Earl Grey tea, which has

EAT DINNER ALONE
Eating
alone has been proven to help you digest your food better since you don’t
have any distractions, while it also gives you time to evaluate your
day as opposed to waiting until you’re in bed. It’s said that the Queen is
a big believer in doing so.
KATE MIDDLETON
GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIME
The
Duchess of Cambridge has previously revealed she goes to bed at 10.30pm every
night, in order to maintain sleep hygiene and a consistent routine, meaning that
it’s easier for her to nod off.
EAT DINNER EARLY
Kate
reportedly touts the benefits of eating dinner with plenty of time before
hitting the sack so that it has time to digest, and starts preparing the
Cambridge family’s meal at around 6pm.
STAY ACTIVE DURING THE DAY
Kate
also credits an active lifestyle for keeping her sleep routine in check. She
and her husband, Prince William often talk about the benefits of being outside in
nature, and Kate is believed to go for a run or walk every morning.

MEGHAN MARKLE
WAKE UP EARLY
Meghan
has spoken in several interviews about waking up at 4.15am every morning. On her
former lifestyle blog, The Tig, she wrote: “The morning, as we all
know, is that vital time that sets the tone for our day ahead.”
START WITH YOGA
In an
interview with Best Health, she said it’s especially good for sleep. She said: “Yoga is my thing. There are so many benefits
that come with the practice of yoga – increased flexibility and strength,
greater happiness, increased mental focus, a greater ability to relax,
decreased anxiety and better sleep.”
DITCH THE CAFFEINE
She once
said: “It’s easy to fall into the trap of rushing for a coffee when you
hit that 4pm slump. I blend some apple, kale, spinach, lemon and ginger in my
Vitamix in the morning, and I always find that sipping on that is a much better
boost than a cup of espresso.”
