Here, at Next Divan, we recognise that getting a good night’s sleep is as critical to our physical and emotional well-being as taking regular exercise and eating healthily. However, according to medical experts, the scale of poor-quality sleeping is among the major public health problems of our time. In this blog, we take a look at this topic as well as offer our top tips for improving your sleep hygiene.
First of all, getting your eight hours sustains your energy levels and improves your attention span, concentration and reaction times. In other words, quality slumber means that body and brain are coordinated, allowing you to stay sharp and safe during the day.
Sleep can also help you maintain a healthy weight. For example, if you’re not sleeping properly, you will probably crave unhealthy foods high in sugar to keep you awake. Being sleep-deprived can also falsely signal hunger, leading you to overeat.
Increasing the risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary heart disease is associated with poor sleeping. Waking up too often has also been found to weaken your immune system. Staying asleep throughout the night allows your body to rest and repair itself, as well as support the proteins and cells needed to detect and destroy any bugs and germs.
Last but not least, sleep plays a vital part in taking care of your mental health. If unwelcome thoughts are keeping you up at night, try practising mindfulness to help nod off.
Sleep hygiene refers to behaviours that are helpful in promoting sleeping quality at night and in turn complete alertness during the day. Here are some of our top tips:
The quality of your sleeping experience is significantly affected by what you sleep on. So, if you suffer from sleep problems, your mattress could be the problem. Check out the Next Divan website today and choose from our impressive selection of pocket spring, orthopaedic and memory foam mattresses.
