If you find yourself climbing into bed, ready to get a full night of rest, only to end up turning on Netflix and spending hours binge-watching your favorite shows more often than not, it may not be insomnia. Revenge bedtime procrastination is a sleep disorder that impacts many and is classified as putting off sleeping when it is time to go to bed.
Originally a term coined in the Netherlands in the late 2010s and popularized by the Chinese internet in 2016, this phenomenon occurs when people feel that they do not have much control over their daily lives and subsequently refuse to go to sleep on time to gain a sense of freedom.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, a larger number of people reported experiencing revenge bedtime procrastination since many felt the increased need for “me time.” Lines between work, life, extracurricular, and family have increasingly become blurred, causing people to need some kind of buffer.
Though we expect to fall asleep the moment we climb into bed, that is not the case. Falling asleep is a process, and one of the top mattress brands may be able to help. When we lack back support and comfort in our bed, it will be more difficult to fall asleep. A comfortable bed from a mattress collection can help you ease into the process of falling asleep. You may even start to look forward to going to sleep, rather than resenting it, when you have a great bed. With a luxury bed, you will have something to look forward to in the day that will simultaneously help you sleep better.
Many people love to travel for the sake of staying in luxury hotels with top mattress brands and the chance for a relaxing getaway from home. However, even with top-rated hotels’ comfy beds, it can be challenging to get a good night of rest. That is why Hastens, who makes the finest mattress collection, opened the first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, furnished with their luxury beds.
The sleep spa, Located in Coimbra, Portugal, is a fifteen-room micro boutique hotel with everything you need to help fight off a night of insomnia and features a mattress that offers back support. It is a unique wellness experience that connects deeply with the vibrant history of Portugal and pays tribute to the Joanine Library – noted to be one of the most original and spectacular Baroque libraries in all of Europe.
The inspiration behind the famed library is what inspired Hastens to choose Coimbra for their first-ever sleep spa/hotel. Each room has a unique flair that overlooks the Mondego River or the hotel’s private garden. The inspiration behind the rooms came from the literary concepts and magnificence of the Joanine Library, combining it with an exclusive spa concept, and of course – the famous Hastens blue check pattern. Each room comes complete with Hastens bedding made with natural goose feathers that contain zero synthetic materials, a Hastens bathrobe and slippers, air conditioning and individual climate control, a TV, a safe, wifi and socket adapters, a minibar, and Aqua di Parma spa amenities.
Hastens mattresses are known to help you achieve the ultimate sleep. Better sleep could mean a lowered chance of sleep disorders. However, you do not have to travel far to experience the phenomenon.

Is there anyone who does not enjoy a good nap? Now you have a good excuse to spend your Sunday afternoons dozing off instead of doing much-need housework – it can provide you with several health benefits. Daytime naps may help those with sleep disorders but can still make a difference for those without.
A short nap can help with sleepiness in the day and help you be more productive by providing you a much-needed boost of energy. Naps speed up alertness, increase reaction time, and help your cognitive functions perform to the best of their ability. Along with it – an increased memory. Multiple studies have found that nappers outperform those who do not nap in remembering new information. Naps can also boost your mood, which is perfect for a midday break from work.
If you can, try taking a daytime nap break from work (best done on one of the Hastens mattresses!)
Naps do not need to be long either – short naps on a horsetail hair mattress are actually better to reap in the health benefits of a good nap. Try a 15 to 30-minute nap. They will leave you feeling refreshed but will keep you from transitioning into a deeper sleep and waking up feeling more exhausted. In fact, long naps can cause issues – sleep inertia and insomnia.
Sleep inertia will have you feeling very groggy and most likely worse off than before your nap. With insomnia, too much daytime sleep can make it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep at night, ultimately disrupting your entire sleep cycle.
Next time you have the urge to doze off, maybe try a quick nap for the kick of energy you need.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that blocks the upper airway when sleeping, caused by a temporary relaxation of the throat muscles. Symptoms include snoring, headaches, high blood pressure, and daytime sleepiness. It is estimated that 10-20% of adults in the United States are affected, which is quite an issue since OSA can significantly increase the risk of severe health problems like cancer and cardiovascular disease. Excessive weight, age, chronic nasal congestion, smoking, and asthma are common causes of OSA, but new research shows that there may be a way to lower your risk.
Exercise, along with a quality mattress like the Vispring Coronet mattresses, can provide people with healthier sleep. That is because physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer. Maintaining an active lifestyle and staying clear of too much sedentary behavior (like watching TV or sitting too long at your desk) are associated with a lower risk of OSA. This may be linked because the reduction of risk exercise can create for other severe conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
Along with exercise, a luxury mattress can help you sleep better. If you need a new bed, check out our Labor Day Sales Event. From now until September 20, you can receive a free Heaven Topper with the purchase of a Vispring Luxe Collection mattress.

Many factors could cause you to have a poor night of rest, and a lack of physical activity may be one of them. A study done by WebMD showed that in a group of middle-aged adults in the United States (the study investigated nearly 400,000) done over eleven years showed that those with poor sleep and low levels of physical activity had a 57% greater risk for all-cause mortality, a 67% greater chance for cardiovascular disease, a 45% increase in the chance for death from cancer, and a 91% greater risk for death from lung cancer when compared to those who had a good sleep and physical activity.
That is not to say that every person with poor sleeping habits will experience these same results, but it does show that sleep is one of the most crucial forms of care we can give to our bodies. That, coupled with the recommended amount of exercise/physical activity, allows our bodies to be healthy and fight off illness. Physical activity and sleep quality independently impact an individual’s health outcomes, but they influence health conditions in a related manner.
Physical activity keeps our bodies in prime shape, allowing the organs and systems in them to work as best as they can. This helps fight off infection, illness, and chronic diseases down the road. Quality sleep ensures that your body is resting up as it should, so it has the energy to get physical activity and keep itself working all day and night correctly.
It’s easy to incorporate physical activity into your daily life – start by going on a brisk walk every day, then take it up a notch by adding in your favorite activity a few times a week, like cycling or jogging. To get better sleep, make sure your sleep environment provides you the opportunity for a good rest. That includes what kind of mattress you have. A horsehair mattress such as Hästens or Vispring mattress can help you achieve your sleep goals and leave you feeling more rested in the morning.

Our mattresses provide us comfort and support every night, making them the single most important piece of furniture in our homes. Though mattresses typically last a while, properly caring for them will extend their lifespan and help you sleep well for years to come. Maintaining a hand stitched mattress is not as difficult as it may seem.
First things first, you want to invest in a good mattress pad. It is a protective seal that covers your mattress, preventing dust, allergens, and stains from building up. While any type of cover can help you protect your bed, invest in a waterproof one just in case any spills happen. It will make cleanup much easier. Along the lines of allergens, make sure you vacuum the mattress in three-month increments. It will prevent allergens and even dust mites from collecting.
Make sure you rotate your bed every six months. Over time, mattresses settle, compromising the internal structure. It may be nice to have it feel settled to the same sleeping position you love every night, but it can lose its shape, causing you to lose your support. Of course, if you invest in a luxury mattress like the Vispring Masterpiece Superb mattress, you will face this problem much less often.
Do not jump on your bed. A lot of children love to do this, especially to wake mom and dad up in the mornings, but it can put too much weight onto one spot in the mattress and potentially permanently damage it.
Do not bend or fold your mattress, and do not drag it either. It may cause the material inside to become displaced. You want to make sure that your mattress stays in one static spot as much as possible to keep its supportive structure.
