101 Guide: How to Sleep Well

Restless nights and weary mornings – just another part of adulting, right? But disrupted sleep patterns can quietly steal your spark, leaving you drained and unfocused.

According to the National Institute of Health (source) adults are recommended to sleep for at least 7-8 hours a day. Here’s Why:

Understanding the Circadian Rhythm

Circadian Rhythm (source)  means your body’s internal clock. Disruption in the circadian rhythm will lead to various physical and mental issues. Regulated sleep is an important part of this. It is an established fact that sleeping well is essential to our physical as well as mental well-being. Getting just enough sleep every night does not cut the slack, but sleeping well with adequate comfort and relaxation of the body is crucial, which leads to better productivity and mental concentration. Emotional intelligence and the immune system are also said to improve with every 8-hour, well-slept night.  

The Art of Sleeping Well

As fancy as I sound, you do not have to make sleep look like rocket science. Do away with the nights where you need to toss and turn on your bed for hours. Zie has curated a list of things that will help you achieve that wonderful restorative rest:

Good Sleeping Posture

A good sleeping posture is not only vital to enjoying a good sleep but it also helps your back. The muscles and ligaments of your back relax and heal while you sleep, only in good posture. The right posture maintains the natural curvature of your spine. We want you to be in good shape. 

The Right Mattress

Finding the right mattress is like finding that sweet spot. It is exactly where you will spend hours sleeping, resting, sitting and what not! Your mattress will maintain your posture well. 

Now, what makes a mattress good? Well, it depends on your needs and use. SleepyCat’s mattresses are just what you need. They are comfortable, practical and durable. Apart from that, they come in a box, how amazing is that, and right at your doorstep, dayum!

The Right Pillow

Just like your body needs a good quality mattress for support, your head and neck need the right pillow in order to keep your spine in the proper position. A pillow that is too high can cause muscle strain on your neck and shoulders, while one which is too low would not offer comfort and a relaxed posture. You need a pillow just like SleepyCat’s Contour Memory Foam Pillow. This pillow gives you dual-loft options and that perfect ergonomic support. The SoftTouchTM Bamboo cover is hypoallergenic, easily removable and feels amazzinngggg.
