Are you determined to figure out a good sleeping schedule this year? A good night’s sleep is the key to waking up refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. Not only does sleep make you feel energised, but it can also help with weight loss and exercise recovery. As we’ve all experienced at some point, getting a good night’s sleep is often easier said than done. We’re here to give you some top tips for sleeping better which will, in turn, help you feel your best!
Get into a routine
If you find yourself going to bed at different times each night, regardless of when you need to wake up, it could be time to set a sleeping schedule to follow. Most adults need around 7-9 hours of sleep each night to allow our bodies to carry out essential functions and to wake up feeling refreshed. Setting a bedtime and sticking to it will help you get those essential hours in each night.
Comfort is key
Feeling comfortable is the most important part when it comes to a good night’s rest. Being at your most comfortable will help with falling asleep faster and also help you stay asleep. If you find yourself waking through the night due to irritation, or being too warm or cold, you may need to switch your bedding to something more gentle. Silk bedding is the perfect answer to this problem as it naturally regulates body temperature, keeping you cool on summer’s nights and toasty in the winter. We’d especially recommend using a silk pillowcase for ultimate comfort as they are super soft to touch and gentle on the skin, allowing it to breathe and replenish as you sleep.
Silk pillowcases are also a popular choice due to their gentleness on the hair as you sleep. Less friction is caused between your head and the pillow, meaning less breakage and no more bed head or frizz in the mornings.
Minimise disturbances
External light and noise are one of the biggest causes of sleep interruption. If you find that you’re sensitive to light and need the room to be completely dark to sleep in, you’ll certainly benefit from a silk sleep mask. We have a range of masks that are gentle on the skin and eyes and block out any unwanted light, leaving you in complete darkness for a peaceful and undisturbed slumber.
A pair of earplugs is the answer to a solid sleep that is uninterrupted by outside noise or your partner’s alarm clock.
Take time to unwind
It may sound strange to prepare and plan for sleep ahead of time, but little things you can bear in mind will really improve your quality of sleep. Throughout the day or evening, ensure your bedroom is at a nice cool temperature, as this is proven to be the best for restful sleep. When it is approaching bedtime, turn away from your phone or TV, and choose to read a book or listen to some white noise or an audiobook. Reducing blue light and indulging in something relaxing will make you feel sleepy in time for bedtime, allowing you to fall asleep faster.
Sleepwear you can actually sleep in
A lot of pyjamas can actually be detrimental to a night of good sleep. For example, extra fluffy, super warm PJs might feel cosy as you nod off, but will definitely leave you waking a few hours later feeling warm and agitated. Silk pyjamas are light and breathable on the skin, with natural temperature-regulating properties to ensure no disturbance to sleep is caused. They come in a range of different colours and styles for both men and women to enjoy. Treat yourself to some sleepwear you can sleep in and say hello to a better bedtime.
