The Queen has the most popular sleep and exercise routine

The Queen has the most popular royal sleep and exercise routine – beating Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle – new research can reveal

Queen’s Elizabeth’s bedtime routines and exercise habits fetch 136% more interest than the sleep and workout routines of all royals surveyed, and 78% more than Kate Middleton, whose sleep and exercise habits spark the second biggest interest online.

The research, by sleep and wellbeing experts Eachnight.com, analysed Google trends data for the sleep and exercise routines of the key members of the royal family, to discover which one generated the most searches. The study created an index ranking which scored each royal’s sleep and workout routine, based on the average interest it generated over 2021.

According to Eachnight.com, The Queen, who is famous for the longevity and consistency of her reign (she will have been on the throne for 70 years in February 2022), may owe her long life to her active lifestyle and sleep hygiene. A spokesperson for Eachnight commented:

“The Queen sleeps 8.5 hours a night, which is well within the healthy sleep range of an adult in the UK, who should be getting 8-9 hours a night, and impressive given the busyness of her schedule throughout her reign. To sleep as well as The Queen, you should make sure you go to bed at the same time every night (Her Majesty retires at 11pm), which will train your body to feel automatically sleepy as you approach your designated bedtime, ensuring a better night’s rest”.

Eating light, protein-filled and regular meals like The Queen is also a good enhancer of sleep. The Queen is partial to fish and vegetables and reportedly a light breakfast of Special K with fruit, which will give her slow-burn energy and keep her fresh throughout a busy royal schedule, saving sleepiness for bedtime. The Queen also takes light, daily exercise in the form of walking – a useful method of releasing endorphins, which can lead to a more relaxing night’s sleep.
