Sleep hygiene - everything you should do in order to make the best of your sleeping time - is very important. It has a massive impact on the quality of your life, by giving you improved health and all the energy you need to go through the day. Sleep hygiene, however, starts well before bedtime, and a few changes in your daily habits can help you improve the quality of your sleep. Here are a few tips to get a great night’s sleep:

No bright light

Avoid having your eyes exposed to bright lights for at least one hour before going to sleep. TV, laptop, smartphones and tablet screens should be avoided before going to sleep, to prepare yourself for the sleep cycle.

Adopt a consistent routine

Talking about sleep cycles, habits are important. Regardless of how many hours you need to sleep, try to create and stick to the same bedtime routine every night, weekends included.

Avoid (or at least limit) stress

Modern life gives us many reasons to feel constantly under pressure, and no one wants to worry about the lack of sleep as well. Fortunately, even just adopting some healthy routine tasks - such as breathing exercises - can help you.

The right bedroom temperature

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to sleeping temperature. Scientific research, however, suggests that around 19-20 ‘C is the most suitable temperature for the human body to rest.

Exercise, but not too late

We all know that exercising regularly is a healthy habit. However late workouts can impact the quality of your sleep, as the release of adrenaline-filled endorphins will keep you awake whilst you try to fall asleep.

Sleep on a good mattress

In an average lifetime, human beings spend around 25 years asleep. If you spend such a long time in bed, you’d better make it quality time. Fortunately Lea Mattress gives you the opportunity to get a mattress that not only gets easily delivered to your door in a compact box, but is also qualitatively superior. Why is that?
