The theme of this year\u2019s World Sleep Day is \u201csleep is essential for health<\/em>\u201d and we couldn\u2019t agree more! Getting enough sleep is just as important as eating the right food and getting enough exercise, but for a lot of us it\u2019s often the first thing we sacrifice. While it\u2019s easy to let our sleep routine slip, it\u2019s important to remember that sleep really is a critical component of our overall health and well-being, and it doesn\u2019t just heal the body but also the mind. A good night\u2019s sleep can change how we interact with the world and improves concentration and elevates our moods, so it\u2019s imperative we\u2019re doing it right!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s estimated that around 30% of us are sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation can affect our memory, moods, attention span, and over time, can prompt weight gain and increased stress levels. So, what can you do to help yourself get quality, healthy sleep?<\/p>\n

As the comfort experts, we wanted to share with you some\u00a0of the ways we practice mindfulness to encourage a healthy sleep routine. The practice of mindfulness is about creating the mental space needed for quality sleep and is shown to effectively improve your quality of sleep.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, it\u2019s important to create a physical space that is peaceful and relaxing to you. We suggest keeping your space clean, clutter-free and cosy to help you unwind from the stresses of the day. Add elements to your room that are calming such as soothing textures and scents. if you\u2019re looking for more ideas on creating a sleep sanctuary, read our sleep sanctuary blog.<\/p>\n

Exercising is something you can do outside of your home that will encourage a healthy sleeping pattern. Adding 30 minutes of exercise a day to your routine will help you see improved sleep. It may reduce your sleep onset and decrease the amount of time lying awake before falling asleep.<\/p>\n

Lastly, journaling is a great way to clear your head and is one of the easiest ways to practice mindfulness. You may be asking, \u201cwhere do I start?\u201d One of our favourite types of journaling is gratitude journaling, it encourages you to find the things in your life you are grateful for. Another way to journal is to simply write about your day or about how you\u2019re feeling. Getting the thoughts out of your head and onto paper can help you sleep so much better.<\/p>\n

We hope these tips help you to get a better night\u2019s rest and if this World Sleep Day (or any day!) you need to update your bedding, our in-store and live chat team can help you find the perfect bedding for you.<\/p>\n
