Temperature Control
Do you toss and turn the entire night, trying to find that sweet spot on your bed that’s cozy? That’s because our body temperature changes when we fall asleep. One way to control it would be to set your thermostat to a cool temperature. The other tried-and-tested way would be to pick a mattress that controls body temperature. Opt for this plush mattress that’s charcoal memory foam infused with natural cooling to offer comfort, support, and stability. If you tend to feel chilly throughout the night, seek heated blankets. There are plenty of fun patterns and colors to match your style.
Breathing Exercise
Try the 4-7-8 breathing method, which will instantly help you fall asleep. This breathing technique will relax your mind and create a sense of calmness and relaxation to help you unwind before you sleep. You could also use this technique anytime you feel anxious or stressed. Here are the steps:
- When you lay down in bed, let your tongue relax behind your front teeth, resting on the roof of your mouth.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth (make a whoosh sound) completely emptying your lungs.
- Close your mouth, and inhale through your nose and hold your breath for 7 seconds. The exhale for 8 seconds.
- Repeat this cycle at least three times or more.
Get Comfortable
The right mattress and bedding can mean the difference between tossing and turning and getting a restful night’s sleep so you’re ready to take on the next day. Go from soft to firm mattresses along with the right set of pillows that will align your neck and shoulders to prevent muscular discomfort. Choose a memory foam mattress if you seek superior comfort, or an innerspring mattress if you need firm support, durability, cooling, and great bounce. Lastly, pick the right bedding layers that make it cozy. Reach for quilt sets and comforters to hit that quality snooze. Throw in a couple of blankets and sheets for an extra dose of warmth.
Try Meditation for a Peaceful Journey
A stressful mind will never rest. We have all had nights with us worrying about the task ahead. Yoga and meditation have proven to calm the mind and relax your body. They can enhance melatonin levels and achieve sleep efficiency and sleep quality.
