Nearly half of Brits have tried social media hacks to improve their sleep
Nearly half of UK adults tried social-media sleep tips last year, but only 17% said magnesium sprays, oils or supplements helped.
A survey of 13,000 adults across 12 countries found Brits are more skeptical of viral sleep hacks than the global average, which stands at 71 per cent.
Despite 66 per cent of Brits saying social media makes wellness advice harder to trust, 26 per cent have followed online sleep tips even though they doubt their ability to spot misinformation.
OnePoll research of 2,000 adults found Brits attempted methods like avoiding blue light and listening to white noise , though only 14 per cent found tracking devices effective.
Sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo has partnered with Novotel to create a sleep masterclass as part of the hotel chain's worldwide Longevity Week, offering practical, science-backed habits.
Research shows 65 per cent of adults are more interested in long-term health than five years ago, with many believing sufficient sleep is vital for living a longer, healthier life.
