Before you reach for another coffee, try these five changes.

Morning light: ten minutes outside before 10am helps set your body clock, which lifts daytime energy and improves sleep.

Hydrate early: a large glass of water, or an electrolyte drink after exercise, before your first coffee.

Check your basics: low iron and vitamin D are two of the most common reasons for tiredness in the UK. Your GP can test both.

Move after lunch: a ten-minute walk flattens the afternoon slump better than sugar.

Protect your evenings: energy tomorrow is built by sleep tonight.
