With new Islanders and a completely new villa which features a revamped bedroom – Love Island couples are already getting cosy under the sheets.

But that could spell bad news for the islanders’ sleeping patterns, according to sleep experts.

This week saw newcomer Danica’s shock re-coupling with Luca, causing trouble in paradise for Gemma who was left to choose a remaining single boy.

Following the recoupling, the Islanders are likely to be feeling anxious and stressed, meaning their cortisol levels will be much higher than usual.

And high cortisol levels mean fragmented sleep[1], so to help the Islanders reduce cortisol before bedtime and help them to relax, Silentnight’s resident Sleep Expert, Hannah Shore, has shared her three top tips:

Surround yourself with comfort
Like Molly-Mae’s toy elephant, ‘Ellie Bellie’, or Tasha’s teddy bear, ‘Flat Ted’, adding a familiar loved object to your sleeping space will guarantee a safe, comfortable, and secure sleep.

For added comfort, invest in cosy quilted throws and extra pillows – guaranteeing a great night’s sleep.

Create an evening routine
A wind down routine before getting into bed will also help you drift off more easily, especially when feeling stressed or anxious. Whether that be taking off your evening makeup with a relaxing skin care regime, or by taking some time outside to chill and enjoy the warm evenings before hitting the hay.

Upgrade your sleep accessories
The Islanders are bound to have different sleeping habits, which could ultimately disrupt their snooze. When you’re in bed with another person, you’re bound to move around more than you would if you were sleeping alone. To avoid any disruptions, get to know your partner’s sleeping style and upgrade your sleep accessories accordingly. For those with partners that hog the duvet, it’d be worth investing in additional blankets to keep warm. For those struggling with a snorer, try investing in a smart pillow that uses technology to help them control snoring throughout the night.
