Beds – Beating Insomnia
When it comes to insomnia, it's worth considering investing in beds that feature a memory foam mattress.
Insomnia can ruin your day to day life. Insomnia can leave you rising from your bed feeling exhausted before the day has even begun. Put simply, insomnia is the inability to achieve a restful night's sleep. And the causes of poor sleep can be a number of things such as uncomfortable beds, a lumpy mattress, bad back, stress, underlying fears or emotional issues, noise and anxiety. A quality mattress and beds that positively promote comfort and support can help by reducing the amount of tossing and turning you do throughout the night. Poor beds or an old mattress can be bad for back ache leaving you with disturbed sleep; a memory foam mattress is said to decrease tossing and turning by up to 80%.
Beds Battle Sleep Problems
Sleep problems are common, and it is easy to fall into a trap of waking in the early hours or finding yourself worrying you simply can't get to sleep when you go to bed. But as well as investing in quality beds and mattresses, you need to work out how to stop your anxiety and stress. Insomniacs focus on their lack of sleep rather than on what it is that's triggering the problem in the first place. Often they lie awake worrying about being awake. But if they have good beds and a quality mattress, then it might be time to examine internal issues that are impacting on anxiety levels.
Beds and Mattresses Matter: Tossing and Turning
But sleep therapists say insomniacs in fact underestimate the amount of sleep they get – what is different is the quality of sleep as they drift in and out, creating a feeling of being awake, triggering anxiety. Insomniacs often focus on the time they are awake, tossing and turning. Quality beds and a specialist mattress, such as a memory foam mattress, will help reduce the agitation. If it is depression or anxiety that is troubling your sleep you'll need more than comfortable beds and mattresses, you'll need to do some soul searching. Other tips to aid sleep include:
Don't eat heavy meals after 8pm
Avoid alcohol and caffeine
Stick to a relaxing bedtime routine and be consistent with your bed time and when you get up to help your body clock set itself
Avoid distractions such as TV sets, computers, mobiles etc in bed
Ensure your beds and mattresses are supportive and comfortable
Get up if you can't sleep but do something mundane like a jigsaw puzzle
