5 Sleep Tips: What Makes a Good Night’s Sleep?

“How can I sleep well?” I know, it seems to be a one-million-dollar question, but it’s easier than you think.

Creating an excellent sleeping environment is fundamental to sleeping well and it depends on some key elements you should consider if you want to improve the quality of your rest.

Here you’ll find our 5 tips about the most important factors that make your sleep dreamy.

Silence and darkness

To sleep well it’s fundamental that the environment is quiet and dark. Our body follows the cycle of day and night and respecting this natural rule is needed to rest adequately.

Indeed, before the discovery of electricity people fall asleep just after the sunset… so thank you, Alessandro Volta – the pioneer of electricity – for your job, but you’ve stolen our many sleeping hours.

Also, noises are very disturbing because they slow down in reaching the deep sleep phase.

Tidiness and cleanliness

Tidiness and cleanliness mean calm and relaxed, the perfect conditions for your rest.

Even in choosing the furniture, we advise you to be minimal. Many or bulky decorations not only convey a sense of disorder and chaos but also attract dust mites and bacteria.

Mattress

I am going to tell you a cold and hard truth: a mattress suitable for everyone doesn’t exist.

Some people like a soft mattress while other prefer a more rigid one. The truth is that the mattress is perfect when it adapts to your own needs.

In choosing a mattress, you should consider your sleeping position, your weight and body type, and, of course, your habits and preferences.

Buying a good mattress is fundamental for your sleep and an investment for your health.

Temperature And Moisture

Temperature and moisture influence the quality of our sleep.

According to some research, the perfect temperature is about 16-20 degrees Celsius while a good percentage of moisture is about 30%-50%.

It’s important to frequently ventilate the room to improve air circulation and avoid moisture accumulation and bad smells.

Electronic Devices

Hands up who doesn’t have a TV, a smartphone, and the list goes on in the bedroom.

The electronic devices generate electromagnetic waves, which disturb our rest, and also produce artificial light causing the alteration of our biological clock.

That’s why we shouldn’t fill our bedroom with many devices and don’t use them before falling asleep.

Sleeping well: a little can make quite a difference

Sleeping is the basis of our wellbeing and sleeping well is fundamental to improving that wellbeing.

With just a few adjustments and a little attention, you can make a huge difference for your health and the quality of your life.
