How to Increase the Quality of Your Sleep

Posted June 11th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

sleepThe quality of your sleep matters a lot, because it can affect your mental capacity for the rest of your day. A restless, light sleep means you might still be tired in the morning. If you find yourself struggling to get a good night’s rest, then follow these tips to increase the quality of your sleep.

Take a sleep study. A sleep study is the best way to discover your sleep problems. The study can tell you why you have trouble sleeping, if you wake up multiple times a night, and what sleep cycles you’re in. Doctors can diagnose you with a sleeping disorder through a sleep study.

Put your electronics away. Electronics can distract from sleeping, and the brightness from the screen can keep you up. Put your phone in another room.

Sleep in a cool, dark room. Make sure you aren’t uncomfortable at night, because then you’ll have more difficulty sleeping. You could turn on a fan, use a different blanket, or change mattresses. Brickell Mattress sells dozens of mattresses that might help you out.

Try to go to sleep and wake up the same time every day. This will help your body fall into a sleeping rhythm. Over time, it might get easier to fall asleep.

These tips will help you maintain a steady, restful sleep every night but don’t forget that your mattress also helps. If you haven’t tried the magic of Hästens or other brands like Vispring, these mattresses are made with natural materials for a better night’s sleep. We’ll be happy to tell you more.

Are You a High-Functioning Insomniac?

insomniaFor 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.

Sleep Trackers May Negatively Affect Your Slumber

Posted May 2nd, 2018 in Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands, Vi-Spring by coreyconsulting

trackSleepWith the ever-increasing popularity of wearables, sleep trackers are going mainstream more and more as people continue their never-ending quest to achieve and adopt better sleep patterns and habits. While these devices are supposed to be helpful, recent research provided by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine may suggest otherwise.

The research appears to indicate that the sleep trackers are actually contributing to worse sleep because the participants/patients were placing too much attention on the sleep tracker. Individuals self-diagnosing themselves with sleep disorders like insomnia were ruining their sleep because they were not meeting the standards of what the tracker determined was “good quality” sleep. Hence, the people who participated became dependent on their device, leading to unnecessary concerns and stress at bedtime and the belief that whatever their sleep tracker was telling them was the truth.

Instead of relying on a tracker, you may wish to consider practicing better sleep habits and making sure that the mattress you’re sleeping on isn’t keeping you up at night. We’ll be happy to give you some tips on making sure your mattress is the right one for you.

How Sleep (Or Lack Thereof) Creates Business

Posted April 19th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

How Sleep Creates BusinessAt a time when our ability to get an adequate amount of sleep is constantly threatened by stress, our devices, or ailments caused by lack of sleep, it should come as no surprise that there is actually an industry born out of this problem.

First and foremost is the mattress business, no doubt the pioneer of the sleep industry, which has become increasingly similar to tech startups with the introduction of “smart” mattresses. Our need for sleep spurs many different and unique approaches to remedy the issue. These channels range from sleep-related apps, white noise machines, custom pillows, books, and weighted blankets. There is even a niche market for “spooning robots”, bean-shaped pillows that mimic the breathing of humans to stimulate melatonin and induce relaxation. According to studies and reports, the sleep business is estimated to be valued between $30 to 40 billion and it is growing at a yearly rate of 8% with no signs of slowing down.

Stop Believing These Sleep Myths

Posted April 12th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

sleepyStrangerYour sleep quality will affect virtually every part of your life in some way, whether it’s your health, your productivity at work, or your mood. Not getting a good night’s sleep isn’t just feeling tired the following day; you may notice you can’t focus properly and you might not make the wisest decisions. These are proven side effects of not sleeping well, but there are also myths that many people seem to believe.

Being functional at work means you’re sleeping well. If you chronically sleep poorly, your body will adapt to that feeling of tiredness, tricking you into thinking that’s just the way you should feel. Your body may not feel tired, but your brain might be sleep deprived and it will let you know this by affecting your ability to remember things or making you irritable when dealing with co-workers.

You need eight hours of sleep. No, you don’t necessarily eight hours. While it’s considered the magic number, there are people that can wake up feeling rested and alert on seven hours of sleep. A tiny population can also make do with five, but that’s rare. Keep in mind your mattress and its quality will also factor heavily into those hours.

You can “catch up” or make up for sleep. Only getting six hours of sleep on weekdays and then sleeping in for nine or ten on Saturday isn’t doing anything for you. Instead, try and get into the habit of waking up at the same time each day, even weekends.

Sleeping Positions Are the New Personality Tests

Posted April 9th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

fakeSleeperAre you among the people active on social media who just love to take those surveys that reveal details about your personality? Well, you may be somewhat surprised to learn that what you do unconsciously can also tell a lot about you. What exactly do we mean by that? The position you sleep in may be just as revealing as one of those personality tests, according to an article on the ABC 13 Eyewitness News website.

Do you find yourself worrying a lot? If so, you may be one of the numerous people who sleep on their side in a fetal position. For those that sleep on their stomach, it may indicate that you’re a “go with the flow” kind of person when it comes to your life and perhaps have little control over what course it takes.

If you sleep on your back with your arms by your side, you could be one of those stubborn, bossy people that are steadfastly set in their ways. On the flip side, back sleepers that raise their arms over their head are probably great listeners that are always up for helping those in need.

Regardless of what position you sleep in, we think you’re awesome and we think you should enjoy sleeping in your favorite position in a supremely comfortable mattress. Who knows? You may wake up feeling a little less bossy or with fewer worries.

You May Be More Sleep Deprived Than You Think

ugonDieAccording to a ScienceDaily article revealing not entirely surprising results, recent studies show that sleep deficiency caused by disorders such as insomnia or sleep apnea are strongly associated with motor vehicles crashes, no matter how alert a person may be.

The Secret is out on Sleeping

Posted March 21st, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

The Secret is out on Sleeping
Scientists have finally found the key secret to attaining a good night’s sleep, and you may be surprised to learn that it’s not so much about what you have done before turning in, but what you will do in the morning. In a study that was the first of its kind, U.S. scientists determined that having a purpose for the next day results in fewer interruptions in sleep as well as improved quality of rest.

“Helping people cultivate a purpose in life could be an effective drug-free strategy to improve sleep quality, particularly for a population that is facing more insomnia,” said Jason Ong, an associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Another factor is reducing light emitting from our smartphones, computers, and other devices can delay or inhibit the release of melatonin, the rest hormone needed to fall asleep.
