Although there is no 'magic number' when it comes to how much sleep we should get, experts agree that, typically, most adults require between seven and eight hours in order to feel refreshed and function well both mentally and physically. And yet, according to the British Sleep Council, 74 per cent of Brits get less than seven hours' kip a night.1

Why is sleep important?

How much sleep we get impacts everything from our immune system to memory, and even our mental health and wellbeing. In fact, one study found that sleeping six hours per night for 14 nights, compared with regularly getting eight, produced 'cognitive performance deficits equivalent to up to two nights of total sleep deprivation'.2 And, not only can one bad night's sleep affect our mood, concentration and alertness, but long-term sleep deprivation has far more serious consequences, and has been linked to a number of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and even stroke.

5 drinks to help you sleep

Sleep experts have long recommended a warm bedtime drink just before bed to help promote a good night-time routine. And, studies have shown that just getting into the regular habit of having a warm drink before bed can trigger a feeling of sleepiness on its own.

Here's five of the best to help you drift off.

1. Chamomile tea

Chamomile (or passion fruit tea if you'd prefer) tea with a little honey, 90 minutes before bedtime, is one of the oldest home remedies when it comes to a good night's sleep. Often referred to as the 'sleep tea', chamomile has been used traditionally to treat insomnia, anxiety, stress and other health issues since ancient times. The reason? Researchers believe the flavonoids in this sweet, flowery tea helps to relax nerves and muscles.

Can you get a Pap smear without shaving?

It doesn't take much to prepare for a pap smear. Some women may feel like they need to shave their pubic hair, but it's unnecessary for this test. You should only tackle it if you'll be more comfortable. Your doctor has seen it all, so a little bit of pubic hair won't bother him.

intermountainhealthcare.org - Why you need a pap smear - Intermountain Healthcare

Also called a pap test, a pap smear is done in your doctor’s office. It requires your doctor to carefully scrape away cervical cells from your cervix. Once removed, the cells are tested for abnormal growth. During a Pap smear, your doctor will ask you to undress form the waist down. You’ll be given a hospital gown or covering. After your doctor instructs you to lay down and put your feet up, he or she will insert a speculum. The speculum is usually a little cold, and may pinch or feel uncomfortable, but it's essential as it opens up your vagina for your doctor to see and reach your cervix. Once the speculum is in, your doctor will scrape away cervical cells with a soft brush or long Q-tip. These cells will then be tested. You may experience some cramping and/or spotting after your test.
