READ MORE: ITV Love Island fans know who's going to leave first after dumping confirmedīut as fans of the show know, there's always a bombshell ready to go and the first, Tom Clare, arrived on Monday night. The ninth run, which is only the second-ever winter series, started with viewers being introduced to the 10 new islanders which include a James Bond actress, a farmer, and the show’s first partially blind contestant all entering the new plush villa that boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool and new treehouse. But 28-year-old Maya was soon announced as her replacement and jetted off to South Africa to welcome a bunch of new singletons hoping to find love. Maya Jama has taken over the role from former presenter Laura Whitmore who announced her decision to leave the show back in August following the conclusion of the eighth series. The hit ITV2 dating show returned to screens on Monday (January 16) with a brand new host at the helm. It is important to set a morning alarm at this earlier time and to stick to it,” is her advice for this year’s islanders, although this might be pretty hard for them with all the parties and events they’ll be invited to now that they’re out of the villa.Love Island fans have claimed they were left 'in shock' minutes before the second episode of the new series came to end. “To move your time zone earlier you should gradually shift your bedtime and wake time by half an hour to an hour earlier each day until you get to your ideal bedtime and wake time. But Dr Browning says that the islanders might feel as though they are jet lagged if they are used to going to bed so late. Research shows that it takes just three to four nights of high-quality sleep to recover from a poor sleep schedule, so for some islanders their sleep schedule could be back to normal in no time. So how difficult will it be for the islanders to adjust to a normal sleeping routine when they leave the villa very soon? This will probably depend on the individual and their history with sleep. “Being exposed to a bright light in the morning is a signal to their brain that it’s time to wake up.” How the Love Island sleep routine will affect contestants outside of the villa “The amount of light a person does or doesn’t see plays an integral part in their sleep pattern,” he explains. According to sleep expert Martin Seeley, being woken up by a bright light is actually beneficial for your body. ![]() However, there is one positive aspect of the islander’s sleep bedtime and morning routines when it comes to sleep health and that’s the lighting. This isn’t ideal when Love Island has already been criticised for not prioritising the islander’s mental health enough. A 2010 study of 2,619 people found that people with insomnia and short sleep duration were more likely to have clinically diagnosed depression or anxiety and that the sleeping problems often remained after the anxiety or depression had resolved. Sleep is not only important for good physical health but research has found that it could affect our mental health too. If the Love Island sleep schedule is inconsistent as islanders have suggested, it could certainly affect the contestants’ circadian rhythms in this way, which could lead to tiredness during the day. This is something many people experience when they are jet lagged and you might also have a milder version of this if you stay up late on the weekends but go to bed early during the week. “If we change our bedtime and wake time, then our circadian rhythm will not be aligned with our new bedtime and we may find it difficult to fall asleep or wake up,” Dr Browning explains. The islanders' previous sleep schedule could also affect their circadian rhythm, which is our body’s internal clock that tells us when it’s time to go to sleep and wake up. ![]() “This allows your body to know when it should be tired and when it should be awake, allowing you to feel more refreshed when you wake up and to drop off easier when it is time for bed.” “We sleep better when we go to bed and wake up at the same time every day,” says Dr Lindsay Browning, a psychologist and neuroscientist specialising in sleep. This is especially true because an irregular sleeping pattern can seriously impact the amount of rest you get. The sleeping arrangement on Love Island is very unusual so it’s bound to be a shock to the system to the contestants entering the villa.
