How a late-night phone call to a friend could help you sleep

Set yourselves a time limit for the call and make sure you listen as much as you talk. That way, you'll be able to off-load your day and also help a pal do the same. You can both go to bed with a smile on your face and the worries of the day put to bed good and proper. Sleep beautifully. xx
