Is Night Mode on Your Phone Causing Sleepless Nights?

Posted December 27th, 2019 in Brickell Mattress, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses by coreyconsulting

For years, you’ve probably been told that the blue light emitted by your smartphone isn’t doing you any favors in helping you sleep at night. You may have also heard that using a night mode that casts a yellow light over the screen is better.

All of this may no longer be true.

A study published in Current Biology suggests that the yellow tint may be worse than the blue light emitted by the phone. Why’s that? Yellow light is closer to what daylight looks like while blue light has similarities to the light a person naturally experiences during sundown. The research is still very much in its infancy but if you’re finding you can’t sleep because your phone is keeping you up, there are steps you can take.

If you absolutely must use your phone, try and get into the habit of winding down. Modern Android phones, for example, have a Digital Wellbeing feature that can help with falling asleep when it’s bedtime, such as turning your phone screen gray to prevent light from keeping you up. Most smartphones also have a blue light filter that can turn on automatically at sundown.

A Fascinating Interview with the Hästens Owner and Chairman

Posted December 20th, 2019 in Brickell Mattress, Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Jan Ryde is a name that has become synonymous with the Hästens company. As its executive chairman and owner since the late 1980s, Ryde has continued the Swedish bed company’s tradition of creating some of the world’s most comfortable, all-natural handmade beds. Ever since taking the reins, Hästens has gone to experience tremendous sales.

The Swedish design firm of Bernadotte & Kylberg has become closely tied with Hästens after several collaborations, along with names like British interior designer Ilse Crawford and Swedish fashion designer Lars Nilsson. Furthermore, the Hästens Vividus (a bed which takes 45 days to make) has earned heaps of praise.

You can read more about Jan Ryde as well as get a glimpse into Hästens by checking out the Barron’s article. Should you wish to try one of the beds, we have the Vividus right here at Brickell Mattress.

The Ties Between Sleep Deprivation and Anxiety

Posted December 4th, 2019 in Brickell Mattress, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Sleep, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

You’re likely among the millions of people that have gone to bed only to fall into a state of sleep where you’re tossing and turning yet you’re not fully awake either. This is often caused by disorders like anxiety, as they have been known to result in poorer sleep quality. Now, a recent Nature Human Behavior study shows how closely intertwined anxiety and sleep deprivation are.

The study showed that just a single night of disturbed sleep resulted in a whopping thirty percent increase in anxiety levels the next day. On a positive note, the study also showed that deep sleep does indeed cut down on stress caused by anxiety disorders.

While anxiety disorders have been known to frequently cause sleep issues, the study reveals that sleep may be proven as a clinical recommendation to cut down on anxiety levels. If you’re anxious and aren’t sleeping on a mattress that’s supporting you, it’s a recipe for a huge assortment of health issues that go beyond anxiety. Hence, it’s imperative to find a bed that will keep you feeling comfy, rested, and rejuvenated.

Detoxify Your Brain with a Good Night’s Sleep

Posted November 13th, 2019 in Brickell Mattress, Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Previously we talked about how sleep serves as a way for your brain to reboot itself daily. As research continues into the correlations between the brain and sleep, it’s becoming increasingly clear how vital sleep is to keep the brain in healthy shape.

A study published in a journal appropriately titled Science examines how the body “detoxifies” the brain during sleep and how this may assist with treating diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Study participants were asked to sleep inside of an MRI machine. When participants reached a state of non-REM sleep, a clear, water-like liquid known as cerebrospinal fluid would wash over the brain as neurons would “turn off”, clearing it of toxins like beta-amyloid which may contribute to the onset of Alzheimer’s

When a person is awake, neurons will not turn off simultaneously. Therefore, brain blood levels do not drop enough to allow substantial waves of cerebrospinal fluid to circulate the brain and clear all the accumulating metabolic by-products, such as beta-amyloid.

The information above serves as yet another reminder of why it’s imperative to take sleep seriously. To read more about the study, visit https://science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6465/628.

Sleep like Royalty on the Seven Seas Splendor

One way to experience the ultimate vacation is by going all-out on a cruise. The luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers its guests upscale cruising experiences to more than 300 ports around the world on some of the most impressive vessels at sea.

Next year, Regent will debut its latest ship known as the Seven Seas Splendor, offering guests accommodations as large as 4,443 square feet in size with features like a private balcony. The Regent Suite has been generating a ton of hype for its majestic features and the “pièce de résistance” may end up being the bed. Indeed, future guests of the Regent Suite will be sleeping on a $200,000 bed made by Swedish manufacturer Hästens. As with all other Hästens beds, this handmade masterpiece will feature layers of all-natural, carefully assembled cotton, wool, horsetail hair, and more to create a feeling of zero gravity.

Hästens beds are practically unrivaled in their optimum comfort. You don’t need to spend money on a luxury cruise to try one, however. Visit us at Brickell Mattress and you can order your Hästens bed for your home. The difference when you wake up after sleeping on one of these beds is arguably unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Perfect Balance Every Day with the Hästens Herlewing

With the Hästens Herlewing (the Afrikaans word for “waking up”), a trio of combined spring systems collectively support the body and keep it in great balance even in scenarios where a partner turns over, when they reach for a phone, or if they get up in the middle of the night to grab a late-night snack or use the restroom. Hence, you wake up in balance and feel balanced throughout the entire day.

Think of yourself as being weightless where there is no need to tense a single muscle because the entire body is in perfect harmony. This was a key goal when designing the Hästens Herlewing. With the trio of interacting spring systems in addition to more than thirty hand-wrapped layers of the finest all-natural material, the Hästens Herlewing effortlessly elevates your sleep quality.

The Hästens Herlewing advanced spring system is based on the same one developed for the ultra-comfortable Hästens 2000T. The springs in the middle mattress are individually fitted by hand and they react individually to pressure so that the bed provides optimum comfort and support no matter how many times you move around. It results in an effect where two people in the same bed lie together yet their movements are independent of one another.

Entrepreneurial Success May Be Tied to a Good Night’s Sleep

 

Behind every great entrepreneur, there is the belief their success came as a result of focusing on hard work versus spending time sleeping. However, this myth of the successful, sleep-deprived entrepreneur is being debunked with a series of studies suggesting a good night’s sleep may result in great ideas.

In one study, nearly 800 practicing entrepreneurs were compared and asked to report the sleep they experienced the night before. Each individual was asked to read a trio of novel venture executive summaries that intentionally varied in quality and practicality. Indeed, the well-rested entrepreneurs were able to rank better ideas higher than those that slept less. This may provide evidence that entrepreneurs who are sleep deprived put greater concentration on superficial cues when coming up with initial beliefs regarding ideas for a new venture.

Do you want to see your business or groundbreaking idea succeed? It may be time to take your sleep seriously and choose a mattress that does the body and mind good. We’ll be happy to help you find a bed that will help you get the rest you need to increase the odds of success.

Just Four Days of Poor Sleep May Affect the Waistline

Are you regularly experiencing trouble sleeping due to reasons such as insomnia? Here is yet another reason to prioritize your sleep: a mere four days of insufficient sleep may add pounds to your waistline.
How is this happening? According to the study conducted by a Pennsylvania State University team, the body will change the way it stores fat, boosting the chances of developing obesity. The study involved a group of fifteen men deemed to be in good health, all of which were in their 20s. The men were fed a diet high in fat and calories while limiting their sleep to a maximum of five hours for four consecutive nights.

Researchers discovered that sleep deprivation caused the body to increase its insulin production to higher levels. Fats from the meal were also cleared away faster, leading to the fat being stored in the body and causing weight gain.
Plenty of studies continue to corroborate the link between poor sleep and diseases like diabetes. This study serves as yet another reason to make sure you’re getting to bed on time and sleeping on a mattress that will help you fall asleep…and stay asleep.

Poor Sleep? Take Steps to Improve It

Posted September 25th, 2019 in Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Getting better sleep is something many of us aim to achieve every night. Consistently poor sleep can lead to a sleep disorder like insomnia and it can even affect a person’s physical and mental health. How do you improve it? Here are a few ways.

Instead of relying on your watch or phone to track your sleep habits, use a diary instead without going overboard. Jot down what time you’re going to bed, how long you slept, and what time you’re getting up. This will provide a much better idea of your sleep quality while helping you pinpoint possible patterns.

When you wake up in the middle of the night, you may have a tendency of checking to see what time it is. Although tempting, refrain from doing this as it will only serve to make you anxious about how many hours of sleep you have left and whether or not you’re going to feel rested enough to tackle the day.

What are some of the other tips? Ones you’ve probably heard before: use your bedroom solely for sleeping, refrain from using electronic devices before bedtime, and avoid caffeinated beverages when it’s close to that time.

Speaking of feeling rested enough, if you aren’t sleeping on beds like those by Vispring or Hästens, those hours you do spend in bed might not be giving you the full rest and support you need. Curious? Visit us at Brickell Mattress and we’ll tell you more.
