So, consider these ‘lucky 7 tips’ the best ways to maximize your chances – your chances of having the best quality sleep. Isn’t that really the trick. We have all had times when we crashed or passed out but didn’t feel particularly rested or rejuvenated in the morning. Always a problem with the bed, probably not. Okay, so listen up and take note, you don’t want to sleep through these great tips.
- Maintain a schedule: Your body runs in cycles. Sleep is one of our body’s main and important cycles. By going to bed and waking up at about the same times each day, your body’s cycles can be maintained and reinforced.
- Eat right and avoid heavy meals: This is especially true regarding dinner. You don’t want to eat a large meal within a few hours of your bedtime. Also, spicy and greasy foods are not the best choices to help you have restful sleep. If you have a small or sensitive bladder, you will also want to avoid too much fluid just before bed.
- Get regular exercise: You already know this, but exercise has many benefits, one of which includes better sleep. However, do NOT exercise just before bed. Your heart rate and energy levels will be up making it difficult to rest.
- Create a serene environment: Your bedroom should be your little sanctuary. You should feel calm and centered even laying in your bed. Make sure that the sights, sounds, smells, etc. are all such that it facilitates restful sleep and peacefulness.
- Avoid sleeping during the day: You can take a 30 min nap in the middle of the day, just avoid a long one. Excess sleep in the daytime will cause your internal clock to go haywire again.
- Get yourself a bedtime routine: Whatever you do (take a bath, read a book, do your breathing exercises, put on your soothing music, etc.) make it consistent. Also, having your lights dimmed will help your body make an easy transition to sleep time.
- Go to sleep when ready: How you know you are ready is that you should fall asleep fast, within 20 minutes or so of when you lay down. If you are not asleep by then, get up and do something that is not too stimulating, then come back to bed when you are tired.
There you have it, the 7 lucky tips. See, it isn’t too much of a stretch to suggest that futon mattresses could play an integral role in helping you with restful sleep as well. These tips could be applied to any bed. However, we know that the advances with futons and their general level of flexibility make them a great choice for sleeping or otherwise.
