Top Tips for A Good Night’s Sleep

The quality of your sleep affects the quality of your well-being. Follow our simple steps for creating the perfect environment for a restful, restorative night.

Do you have a sleeping partner?

The majority of adults who share a double bed have on average 9" less space than a child in a single bed. Investing in a larger bed will ensure you can relax more freely.

Are you active?

Exercise at any time of day promotes a better quality night’s sleep, but it’s important that you wind down properly at least
2 hours before going to bed.

Do you take your phone or tablet to bed?

Turn off technical devices at least 30 minutes before sleep,
as the blue light from them can suppress the sleep hormone and make it more difficult for your body to switch off.

Do you have a sleep routine?

A regular sleep routine helps encourage your body to fall asleep naturally, rather than lying in bed tossing and turning.

Do you have the right mattress?

If you like a firm mattress and your partner likes a softer feel, invest in a bespoke mattress that meets both your needs.

How relaxing is your room?

Try to make sure your bedroom is designed for rest rather than being a home cinema or an office space. Low lighting and extra bedding helps create a calm mood.

Is your bedroom the correct temperature?

As a rule, your body temperature needs to drop by around
0.5 degrees to ensure a good night’s sleep, so try to have your bedroom around 16 – 18°C.

How do you wake up?

Try an alarm that wakes you up with a brightening sunrise,
to help your your body feel fully awake and maximise energy levels throughout the day.

Are you getting enough sleep?

It’s a common misconception that every adult needs at least
8 hours sleep per night, as it could in fact be much less than this. However, if you feel tired throughout the day, it’s an indication that you're not getting enough hours in.
