With 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.

We 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.

Most 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.

Modern Luxury is a magazine aimed at those who live or desire an affluent lifestyle, and it always shows the latest trends in that regard. The Miami edition of the magazine took out a full page to praise the Hästens brand and its limited edition Appaloosa bed as well as inform readers where to buy it: none other than at Brickell Mattress. The piece highlights the colorful shades with an attention-grabbing header of “Prints Charming”.

Hästens has a rich history dating back to its inception in Sweden in 1852, spanning six generations of Swedes and even receiving recognition and honor of being the royal purveyor from two kings of Sweden: King Gustav in 1952 and King Carl in 1995. As a result, Hastens can literally be described as being “fit for a king” and we proudly carry it in our store.

At 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.

Even though most of us never get enough of it, sleep is essential for our physical and mental well-being. In fact, not getting enough sleep may lead to sleep disorders like insomnia and it can also cause serious issues such as depression and anxiety. While most of us know that a comfortable, premium mattress, a shower, and not consuming caffeine before bedtime can help with getting some rest, there are other factors that may also contribute to sleepless nights.

According to an article on New Haven Register, age may also play a role in not sleeping enough. Recent studies suggest that as a person ages, the part of the brain that assists with regulating sleep begins to decay, which means a person may experience fewer moments of REM sleep, which is considered to be the deepest sleep state.

There is no such thing as being able to “catch up” on sleep during the weekend by sleeping longer hours. Sleeping in on a Saturday will only throw off your sleep schedule, making it harder for the body to adjust to a regular sleep cycle.

Do you sleep with your windows and doors closed? It makes sense to keep your home cool and free of outside noise. However, that same New Haven Register article suggests that sleeping with open windows or doors may help with reducing carbon dioxide levels, resulting in potentially better sleep.

Your 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.

Are 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.

According 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.

While we all know that excessive sleepiness will result in delayed reactions, just how impaired or sleepy a person may be plateaus if the person is chronically sleep-deprived. As a result, a person may not know just how sleep deprived or impaired they are, which can lead to a high risk when navigating the roadways.

We also know that the mattress you sleep on plays a critical role in fighting sleep disorders and feeling well-rested. With brands like Hästens and VISPRING creating some of the world’s most comfortable mattresses, we invite you to visit our store and see why these are unlike you’ve experienced before. South Florida is already known for its terrible drivers, and there is no need to add risk to your commute by driving sleep deprived.
