Trying to fall asleep when you have to get up early the next day can be incredibly frustrating, especially if it’s something that happens on several occasions. These frequent sleepless nights may cause you to wonder whether you’re dealing with a sleep disorder such as insomnia. However, it’s important to know the difference between having a genuine sleep disorder or if you’re simply not sleeping well.

Take a look at your sleep hygiene. If you regularly look at your phone, watch television, or use your laptop before bed, the blue light is not doing you any favors. It is also important to take into account the temperature of the room, if you’re sleeping with any lights on, or if you’re going to bed at different times each night. All of these may be causing sleep disturbance.

Are you taking any medications or are you drinking caffeinated beverages too close to bedtime? If so, this will also contribute to poor sleep quality. You should also consider if something is stressing you out, whether it’s mentally or physically.

It’s also important to remember that with insomnia, not only is it difficult to asleep, it typically involves waking up several times during the night and staying awake, resulting in short periods of sleep where disruptions are likely. Hence, differentiating between genuine insomnia and sleeplessness is vital.

Do keep in mind that your mattress may be a contributor. Having a mattress that is designed to help you achieve the deep sleep period is key. If you have questions, we can point you towards a potentially better night’s sleep.

However there is never enough time in our day to get everything done. We constantly work and try pleasing our loved ones and in doing so we sacrifice what’s most important which is our sleep.If we don’t get enough rest it affects us mentally and physically. Our brain doesn’t just shut off but our whole body works hard the whole night as you sleep.

Sleep is vital because it helps you function the entire day to your best capacity. It helps you think clearly, think faster, and be more attentive. It obviously helps you work more efficiently when you sleep the regular eight hours that you should be sleeping then when you sleep a couple of hours a each day.

Loss of sleep actually hurts your problem solving abilities and attention to detail. Your less productive at work or anything you do for that matter and your more prone to getting into an accident. The loss of sleep even interferes with the way you act around people and more susceptible to getting sick and depressed. Sleep can even affect our hormones, immune system, and cardiovascular health. If you don’t rest there are many diseases that may present themselves in the near future; for instance diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and much more.

A good night’s rest would be rapid eye movement (REM) sleep which is considered a deep sleep and when you dream the most. Babies usually sleep about 16 hours, children 10 hours, teenagers about 9 hours, and adults 8 hours

However there are also many causes to sleeping less; like electronics, caffeine, medication and as you get older you may sleep less because of the amount of medication you take. There are different medicines that your doctor may prescribe to help you sleep better and different relaxation techniques as well. A goods night rest is essential every night to help you be the best version of yourself each day.

For many people, it’s not uncommon for them to still feel like they didn’t get enough sleep despite sleeping for at least seven hours or more each night. If that sounds like you, you may be dealing with a sleep disorder such as insomnia, one of many sleep disorders that prevent a person from getting sufficient rest. It is possible to be a “high functioning insomniac”, which is why it’s so important to be aware of the signs and symptoms.

For example, you may notice that you’re constantly irritable, and it’s not because you’re dealing with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. Not sleeping properly will make you cranky, which could cause your relationships with family, friends, or co-workers to suffer.

Are you getting sick more often? If the body doesn’t have enough time to rest and “regenerate”, you will become more prone to catching those pesky common colds as the immune system defenses aren’t working in top condition.

Snoring, being unable to concentrate, making careless mistakes, these may indicate a sleep disorder or it could just be that your mattress isn’t doing the job when it comes to making you feel genuinely rested. A new mattress such as Hästens may help you get rid of insomnia altogether.

When we purchase a luxury mattress, we don’t think of how it will intertwine with our lives enough to be part of our history. It could be the first item you purchase to begin furnishing your new home or the first big purchase you consider with your significant other. Mattresses have played an important role in our history, but they wouldn’t have gotten there without its own history.

The History of the Luxury Mattress

Most people don’t know how long mattresses have been in existence. Its history begins in 3600 B.C. and since then the design of the luxury mattress has changed significantly.

3600 B.C. Persians made the first water beds out of goatskins and filled them with water.

3400 B.C. Egyptians slept on palm boughs piled in the corners of their homes.

200 B.C. Romans slept on bags of cloth stuffed with reeds, hay, or wool. The wealthy usually slept on feather stuffing which could be considered the first luxury mattresses.

1400s Mattresses were made out of pea shucks, straw or sometimes feathers, stuffed into coarse ticks, and covered with velvets, brocades or silks.

1500-1700 Mattresses were stuffed with straw or down feathers and placed on top of a bed consisting of a timber frame with the support of rope or leather.

Early 18th century Mattresses are filled with cotton or wool

Mid 18th century: Mattress covers are made of quality linen or cotton. The mattress box is shaped or bordered with fillings of natural fibers, such as coconut fiber, cotton, wool, and horsehair. The mattress is buttoned to fasten the stuffing to the cover and the edges are stitched.

Late 19th century: The box spring mattress is invented.

1930s: Innerspring mattresses and upholstered foundations become popular along with artificial fillers. Enclosed coil spring mattresses also have their springs sewn into linked fabrics.

1950s: Foam rubber mattresses and pillows become available for purchase.

1960s: The waterbed is introduced and becomes a popular luxury mattress choice alongside adjustable beds.

1980s: Air mattresses composed of vulcanized rubber or vinyl are introduced.

2000′s: Multitudes of sleeping options and features become available. From air to water luxury mattresses, there is a type to fit everyone’s needs. That’s where we come in!

Picking the right mattress can be a challenge. We can make choosing a luxury mattress in Miami a breeze for you! First things first, here’s the difference between your basic mattress categories:

Innerspring:

Innerspring mattresses are the most widely used. They support you with coil springs and each coil is individually enclosed. Additionally, a wide variety of materials are added for extra comfort. Spring-based mattresses can be comfortable for almost anyone, regardless of whether your preference is a soft or firm mattress.

Pros: There are a wide variety of mattresses to choose from. They range in firmness, the fluffiness of the pillow top, and in price to fit nearly every preference and price range.

Cons: There’s no direct relationship in most cases between price and comfort. If there aren’t enough springs and cushions to offer you proper support you’ll likely wake up with an aching back.

Latex:

Latex mattresses are made from either natural or synthetic rubber, and are known for providing firm, bouncy support that is uniform throughout the bed. Either a latex mattress or latex mattress topper is great for relieving back pain because they offer the best combination of comfort and support.

Pros: Latex is popular because it is firm and supportive, while still providing comfort. Unlike the mattresses, however, latex pushes back, ultimately providing more support.

Cons: If you don’t like the feel of a firm mattress, latex is probably not the right choice for you.

Air:

Higher-end air beds look like a standard innerspring mattress, but use air-filled chambers instead of coils, and are covered by a foam layer on top. Air beds have been used for patients with spinal cord injuries who are lying in bed for a long time. These beds are particularly useful when sleeping partners have different needs. If one person has a bad back, one side can be made firmer than the other to provide greater support.

Pros: The firmness of each side of the bed can be altered. If your preference is firm, but your partner enjoys soft, these beds can be adjusted to keep you both happy.

Cons: Sometimes people fail to make their air bed firm enough and wake up with backaches. Less sophisticated air mattresses also pop up on one side when you sit on the opposite end.
