Had a Bad Day? Just Let It Go

Posted May 30th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

let go of a bad dayWhenever you’ve had a day that was either bad or horrendous for whatever reason(s), there is one thing you need to do in order to get a good night’s sleep. Do something relaxing or fun, or both, to push away all that stress and anxiety. This remedy is supported by research in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.

They found that employees experiencing negativity at work were reported to exhibit symptoms of insomnia, but those who were able to detach and unwind by listening to music, going for a walk, or doing yoga, slept much better. Increased blood pressure and fatigue are also effects of a negative work experience. The study also suggests that managers can play a huge role in this experience; that not bombarding employees with work-related matters outside of business hours can be the first step towards a healthier and enjoyable lifestyle.

A comfortable mattress also helps ease away any stress of the workday. With a mattress like Hästens, you’ll be asleep after a long workday in less than twenty minutes. As the mattress absorbs static, you’re ready to face the workday challenges when you wake up the next day.

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.

Sleeping in May Be Good for You

Posted May 23rd, 2018 in Hastens, Vi-Spring by coreyconsulting

sleepInAfter a long, stressful workweek, sleeping in on a Saturday is one of the most enjoyable ways to relax and recover. You may have heard or read, however, that sleeping in on the weekend is not good for you…or is it? According to a recent Washington Post article, sleeping in may save your life.

A study published in the Journal of Sleep Research tracked the sleeping habits on weekdays and weekends of more than 30,000 participants over thirteen years. The study found that those who slept for five hours or less each night throughout the entire week did not live as long as those that slept for at least seven hours every night. The surprising part? Those who slept fewer than seven hours consistently but slept in for an additional hour or two during the weekends also had a better life expectancy as the people who always slept for seven hours each day.

The study still requires additional research, but it may give you a reason to sleep in on a Saturday. If you’re having trouble staying asleep, it could be that your mattress is keeping you up at night. Considering how important it is to get a good night’s sleep, a Hästens or Vi-Spring mattress might just the thing to help you live longer.

The Importance of “Awake Time”

Posted May 15th, 2018 in Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

awakeTimeThe only possible way to determine how well you’ve slept is by analyzing the changes in your body during what’s called “awake time”. Hästens has been focusing on awake time for ages. When a person sleeps on a Hästens bed, their reaction when they wake up is typically an enthusiastic “Wow!” The best night’s sleep can only be measured by how great you feel while awake. If you want to feel genuinely awake for the first time in your life, consider a Hästens bed.

Life’s only proven anti-aging medicine in this world is indeed sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to countless of diseases, which is why doctors always stress the importance of a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately most if not all American bed brands are fully synthetic, made with foam derived from petrochemicals, fire retardants, and lots of synthetic material fibers. These mass-produced beds are simply made to cater to the mass population who take sleep for granted. Many of these beds made in the U.S. won’t make it beyond eight years, and most will break down before they end their warranty period due to the fact that synthetic fibers won’t hold up.

All Hästens beds are handcrafted with earth-like materials such as horsetail hair, lambswool, organic cotton, mohair, and flax, among others. These natural materials do several important things for your body that the rest of the beds cannot do:

Natural fibers absorb moisture and heat from your body while the rest of the beds simply repeal. In turn, you are always kept dry and cool while you sleep.
The natural materials absorb static electricity accumulated in the body. You feel extremely relaxed and you fall asleep quickly. Static can be obtained by walking on carpets, opening doors, touching people’s hands, driving cars, working on computers or any other electronic devices, for example.
Hästens natural fibers provide amazing comfort that no other foam or synthetic bed can.
Hästens beds can provide optimum orthopedic support as these beds can be made specifically for your height and weight. You can choose from soft/medium/firm/X-firm or split supports.
It’s not uncommon to feel so relaxed in a Hästens bed, you end up falling asleep in as little as fifteen minutes. Upon waking up, your body feels full of energy, it’s almost as if you’ve slept for days! In addition, your cognitive senses will be improved, including your alertness.

People who sleep in a Hästens bed won’t sleep in anything else for the rest of their lives.

Your Body’s Way of Telling You It’s Sleep Deprived

Posted May 7th, 2018 in Hastens, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

sleepDeprivationMost people remain on a never-ending quest to catch a couple of more hours of sleep each night, but few people actually get enough. The body has several ways of making it known that you’re not getting the amount of sleep you should, and it goes well beyond a feeling or tiredness or constant yawning.

Do you find yourself feeling unusually hungry? Contrary to what you may think, feeling like you’re almost starving might have something to do with being tired versus a missed meal. Not getting enough sleep may result in higher levels of a hormone called ghrelin, which is also responsible for triggering hunger. Instead of that late night meal, it may be wiser to go to bed instead.

Are you finding yourself unable to recall things such as where you left your keys or does it seem like you can’t focus on a task at work? It may not be early signs of dementia, it could be a lack of sleep which can cause lower levels of alertness and increase forgetfulness.

Don’t forget that your mattress might be keeping you up instead of lulling you to sleep. If you toss and turn a lot, a Hästens or Vispring bed, for example, might be worth considering. These beds have developed a sterling reputation for their incredible comfort, great back support, and durability, among numerous other qualities.

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 Old Is Your Mattress?

Posted May 1st, 2018 in Hastens by coreyconsulting

badMattressWe all know that a significant portion of our lives is spent sleeping, which is one of the reasons why having a quality mattress is so important. A good night’s sleep is so essential to your health that sleep disorders such as insomnia may go as far as reducing your life expectancy, not to mention making you more susceptible to illnesses and reduced mental health.

Do you find it difficult to stay asleep despite getting enough hours? The age of your mattress may have something to do with it. The Sleep Foundation recommends keeping your mattress no more than nine or ten years. Anything beyond that and your mattress may be doing you more harm than good. For example, if you wake up with muscle pain or a feeling of stiffness, it’s possible your mattress is no longer able to properly support your weight. Because it happens slowly over time, you may think it’s simply a case of getting older.

It’s also important to remember that mattresses may attract allergens and they also collect sweat and body oils. Over time, this can make your mattress not only uncomfortable but also quite unhealthy.

Sleep Better with Good Décor

Posted April 26th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

bedecorMost people have circumstances out of their control when it comes to falling asleep. Perhaps there is a noisy pooch that likes to practice its bark during the late hours. And then there are the factors that one can do something about to create a bedroom that will help lull you to sleep. One of the easiest things you can start doing is getting rid of the electronics.

The thought of not being able to watch television in bed may seem ludicrous, but the more you can reinforce an environment that is meant for sleeping, the easier it will be to get some rest when you aren’t being kept awake by the glare of a television or smartphone screen.

You may also want to consider the décor. According to the National Sleep Foundation, using soft pastels or “cool neutral” colors in your bedroom will help with making you feel relaxed and at peace, reinforcing a calm environment. As for the lighting, investing in lights where you can control the amount of brightness can also help tremendously.

As you might guess, your mattress is also of great importance. With names like Hästens and Vispring creating some unbelievably comfortable sleeping experiences that are also eye-catching, you can rest assured that your bed will definitely go with the décor as you drift off into a blissful rest.

Posted April 20th, 2018 in Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

HastensModern Luxury is a magazine aimed at those who live or desire an affluent lifestyle, and it always shows the latest trends in that regard.
