To sleep is an important part of our life.
World Sleep Day celebrates the good rules to properly fall asleep
To sleep well is important. Maybe it seems obvious or banal but think how a sleepless night can affect the entire day after. If the Sleeping Beauty had been sleeping on a comfortable mattress, it would have been almost impossible to wake her up just with the kiss of a prince! Perhaps, she would have closed her eyes and felt asleep again.
On March 13th World Sleep Day is celebrated all over the world, it’s a day that year by year is becoming more and more relevant: in fact, sleep disorders affect about 45% of the global population. The quality of your sleep is essential for the balance both of your body and your mind, we all desire to sleep and above all to sleep well.
To do it, it’s fundamental to adopt some good habits such as preferring health food, working out and choosing a high-quality mattress, both at the hotel and at home.
SWEET DREAMS: here is what to do
If we want to sound funny, we can say that to feel well-rested is the dream for each of us. What are the rules to sleep well both at home and at the hotel? Here are ten basic suggestions.
- The temperature in the room – Even in winter, avoid sleeping in a too hot room. The temperature should be around 18°C, don’t forget about all the blankets you have in your bed otherwise you risk waking up sweaty, nervous and in a bad mood.
- Light pollution – Many people cannot sleep in the darkness, in this case it’s ok even if you leave curtains slightly open to have some light in the morning. Avoid waking up with too much light in your room and falling asleep with the lamp on.
- Pay attention to what you eat – Don’t say no to a tasty dinner but avoid heavy food. It’s better to eat small portions, digestible food and never late in the night. You risk having…many nightmares. Avoid any food that can keep you awake such as chocolate, cocoa, the and coffee. Drink a relaxing infusion instead. Here is an idea.
- Noise pollution – A quiet room is perfect to get relaxed, avoid distractions and is one of the main elements to sleep well.
- Digital detox – it’s strongly suggested to turn off your smartphone and not to keep it close to your bed. Avoid using your tablet or computer.
- Mattress and pillow – each of us has their needs and preferences. And when we talk about sleeping well, there are not general rules but specific solutions. To choose a high-quality bed impacts on the quality of your rest, wellness and all activities you do during the day.
- Natural fabrics – it’s a must have for allergic people and a precious advice for everybody. To fall asleep wrapped in natural fabrics and light colors, makes you easily get well-rested. Sweet dreams.
- The charm of reading – Before falling asleep, read for a couple of minutes. A book, a magazine, etc., rediscover the charm of paper.
- Olfactory emotions – A few drops of lavender essential oil are a classic advice, but always effective. You can find many different relaxing scents created to help people to fall asleep. Some ‘cool’ hotels leave a gift set on the night stand, for example the ‘calming bed & body mist’ by RITUALS.
- Timing: having a regular schedule to go to bed and wake up is always a good idea.
