Title: A Good Night's Sleep. The New Luxury.
Author: Lisa Stevens
Article:
So many people today are sleep deprived. Once it was taken for
granted for most of us to sleep a good 7 or 8 hours restfully.
Instead, it is now considered the new luxury. Something most of
us would love to have yet find elusive in attaining.
The stress of modern life, working longer hours, balancing
family and work leaves us longing for this luxury of a good
night's sleep, but there are just not enough hours in the day.
So what is the solution? We must acknowledge that a good night's
sleep is very, very important to our overall health. This
rejuvenating sleep will improve productivity, counter stress,
boost our immune system and help us take on the challenges of
the next day. Once acknowledged, then you are on your way to
finding solutions.
There are several areas to address to achieve this goal:
1) Environmental . Your sleeping area should be much cooler than
the rest of the house. Turn your heat down at night to at least
65 degrees. You will sleep better, toss less and save on energy
at the same time.
2) Behavioral. Try and go to bed at the same time and get up at
the same time. Do not consume caffeine right before going to bed
and limit alcohol consumption. Do not exercise right before
going to bed. Reading a book would be far better than watching
t.v. before bedtime.
3) Mattress. Do you have a good quality mattress that supports
your spine in the right position? There are some really
luxurious mattresses available with coil springs, or solid latex
or slat beds (like in Europe). These luxury mattresses are
designed specifically to deliver superb comfort and support,
ensuring your body is positioned correctly for enhanced sleep.
If your mattress is too soft or too firm, a luxury featherbed or
down bed on top of your mattress will solve this problem. The
extra cushioning from a down mattress topper will offer an
increased level of comfort to your mattress, but the featherbed
or down bed is exponentially more cushioning and luxuriously
comfortable and will make your mattress more back friendly.
4) Bedcovering. Is your bed covering too heavy, does it breathe,
is it the right size, or are you having a tug of war with the
covers? You will need something warmer if you turn down your
heat. Down is nature's best insulator. A high quality down
comforter will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The
higher cost of the initial purchase will be compensated in
energy savings and incomparable comfort year round.
5) Pillows. Are you sleeping on pillows that are too flat,
piling them up to get the right height or are they too firm
giving you a sore neck? To keep your head in the right position
for correct spine alignment you need a pillow that is right for
the way you sleep. A high quality down pillow that is made just
for your style of sleeping (side, back or stomach), will keep
your head aligned. A stomach sleeper should have a soft pillow,
a back sleeper a medium pillow and a side sleeper a firm pillow
unless you are petite, then a medium would be better suited. It
is better to try a pillow in a store by putting it on a bed.
Even then you may get it home and after a few nights find it is
not the right pillow for you. Look for a specialty store as they
usually have many densities to try and will often adjust the
filling for you after you have taken it home.
In our opinion all these simple solutions will greatly enhance
your sleep experience, which in turn will make you more
productive and enjoy life better. Don't toss and turn one more
night, try these simple changes and get the good night's sleep
you need to wake up rejuvenated and refreshed.
