3 Investments In A Great Night Sleep

While a lot of our ability to sleep is down to biochemical signifiers and the Earth rotating to give us day and night in tandem with our relation to the sun, you do have some control over how well, deeply and comfortably you sleep.

Of course, you probably recognize that a bed is a good investment, so we won’t try to patronize you.

You do, however, get to choose what bed and mattress you select, platform beds can be very comfortable, offering a sturdy base without the need for box springs, and room for storage underneath.

Curating your environment for a good night’s sleep, most often in your bedroom, is considered “sleep hygiene.”

As you might curate a kitchen for the “mise-en-place” of having all your tools and ingredients to hand, the same perspective can be applied to your bedtime ritual and the provisions you may available.

Let’s consider where to begin with such a plan:

Pillows, Duvets, Trimmings

It is very easy to think that the softest bed trimmings make for the best sleep, but that’s not the case; in fact, it is rarely so.

This is why it is good to make sure your bed is right for you.

Memory foam or orthopedic pillows can help you support your neck and posture to the degree you need it. The right “tog” thickness for your current season and comfort can help you get better sleep.

The trimmings you enjoy, like a better mattress, duck feather duvets, or anti-microbial materials may work best for you. If you have sensitive skin, then software, neutral fabrics or even silk sheets might be essential.

Air Quality & Light

Air quality makes a great difference. You don’t have to have respiratory issues to react well to a room that’s well ventilated, and appropriately cooled.

In fact, these conditions can help you get a better sleep, and it also helps you gain relatively fresh air. If your windows have a ventilation lock, this can be useful to use. Air purifiers can help, with the use of special HEPA filters, remove some of the nasty stale air and particles floating around.

In addition, making the room as dark as possible can help us properly shut off; but don’t feel bad if you prefer a nightlight - you can still set this to turn off as you doze off.

Regularity & Discipline

Regularity and discipline in a great night’s sleep truly can make a world of difference. Your body adapts to how your routine takes place, and so if you go to sleep at the same time every night, you’re so much more likely to doze off more comfortably, and get your full amount of hours.

This takes discipline, but before long you’ll get used to it - for instance heading to bed at 11.30pm and then reading for thirty minutes can be a great way to prepare for your eventual sleep, without worry. With this advice, we hope you can get the great night sleep you deserve.
