The start of March is also the start of National Bed Month, the annual awareness campaign promoting the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep.
Sleep is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, so having the perfect place to rest at the end of the day is pivotal.

Switch Off and Relax

Here are a few tips that will help you wind down and relax comfortably –

Digital Detox – Technology such as tablets and smartphones plays a big part in our lives, but by using your bedroom exclusively for sleeping will improve your sleep routines.
Binge watching has become a growing viewing habit with Ofcom saying around 10 million Brits have skipped sleep to finish their favourite shows. Most of us require 7-8 hours of solid sleep to be at our best the next day, with even the glow of the TV standby button proving disruptive.
Cut out Caffeine and Alcohol – Cutting back on caffeinated and alcoholic drinks will give you a smoother night’s rest. Although alcohol will get you to sleep quicker initially, you are more likely to wake in the night once the alcohol leaves your system – leaving you with a disjointed night’s sleep and that’s before the hangover kicks in!
Keep a Sleep Diary – Keeping a diary is a great way to put your finger on any potential problems you may be having getting a decent amount of sleep. Noting down the food and drink you consume or activity as well as the resulting night sleep can provide clarity on what works and doesn’t work.

People who suffer from recurring back pain reportedly enjoy a better quality of sleep when they start using a new mattress. We recommend changing your mattress every 8 years or earlier when you start to see deterioration or start having problems.
