Unmasking the Silent Sleep Killers
May 17, 2024 | Written by SleepyCat Team
Welcome to the realm of sleep, where dreams dance and worries fade but wait before you nestle into a cocoon of comfort, beware of the lurking shadows. Yes, we’re talking about those sneaky foes that sabotage your sleep without a whisper. Be it midnight food cravings, day-to-day stress, or that one sip of coffee, these little choices will ruin your sleep altogether if you’re not careful.
Blue Light Blues
Ever doom-scrolled before bedtime, only to find yourself wide awake for hours afterward? You can blame the blue light for that as it blocks the production of melatonin – the sleep hormone. To combat this, you can use the blue light filter in your device or eyewear to block these light rays. To make it even easier to fall asleep, consider upgrading your bed mattress to a high-quality one like The Ultima Mattress which offers hotel-like comfort at your home, so the moment you lie down you can slip away into sweet slumber. The 7-zone support it offers helps your body relax at its best while the CoolTEC™ fabric keeps you up to 4° cooler.
Caffeine’s Stealthy Grip
That cup of coffee seems harmless, doesn’t it? Turns out, caffeine is a silent sleep killer as it prolongs wakefulness and makes sleeping on time a battle. Consider cutting down your caffeine consumption by midday to ensure a smoother descent into dreamland. Ideally, you should avoid drinking coffee 5-6 hours before bedtime. To avoid sleepless nights, you should avoid caffeinated beverages and drink beverages like chamomile tea that promote melatonin production. One more thing you can do to fall asleep faster is to use a top-notch bed mattress like The Original Mattress. It comes equipped with AirGen™ memory foam to ensure maximum breathability & gives you the extra comfort you need after a hard day’s work.
The Anxiety Beast
Life can be quite stressful at times but it can have several negative effects, especially on your sleep. Stress and anxiety are the modern-day monsters under the bed. They creep into our minds, robbing us of peaceful slumber. Stress doesn’t leave room for rest and leads to sleepless nights. However, there are a lot of techniques and soothing rituals that can help you reclaim your righteous sleep. From meditation and breathing techniques to journaling, these all can help you sleep better by keeping your stress and anxiety under control. To help get a soothing stress-free sleep, you can consider switching to an orthopedic mattress like The Hybrid Latex Mattress and The Ortho Lite Mattress for optimal pressure relief & heightened comfort.
Conclusion
As we bid adieu to the day, let us not forget about these silent sleep killers lurking in the shadows. By recognizing their presence and implementing simple strategies, we can reclaim our rightful rest. Be it a memory foam mattress or a latex mattress, upgrading to a high-quality mattress can do wonders. So, dim the lights, sip some herbal tea, and drift into a world where sleep reigns supreme. Goodnight, sleep tight, and may the (sleep) force be with you.
