Searching for that elusive quality night’s sleep? Well look no more, we have some great tips to share with you on buying the right bed to provide quality, restorative sleep. 🛏😴
1. A bed must be supportive, but that does not mean it has to be hard. Hard beds are not good for you, but good support is crucial.
2. Size is important. Always buy the biggest bed your room will take, the more space you have, the less disturbed you are when your partner moves. Length is also key, your bed should be at least 6” longer than you are tall.
3. Cut down on stimulants such as caffeine in tea or coffee, especially in the evening. They interfere with falling asleep and prevent deep sleep. Have a hot milky drink or herbal tea instead.
4. Create a restful sleeping environment. Your bedroom should be kept for rest and sleep and it should be neither too hot nor too cold; and as quiet and dark as possible.
5. Don’t over-indulge on food or alcohol just before bedtime. They will affect your sleep pattern, and can prevent you from falling asleep, or interrupt you during the night.
6. Get active! Exercise three times a week will help you tire you physically which leads to deeper and less disturbed sleep. But don’t exercise too close to bedtime as your body needs time to wind down properly.
