Celebrating National Bed Month at Toons

Posted on - 9th March 2022

The month of March in the UK is widely known as national bed month. The month celebrates all things bed related as well as raising awareness of the importance of getting a good night sleep.

As we are a well established supplier of premium quality beds from Swadlincote, we understand the importance of getting a good night's sleep. So here are some of Toon's top tips for getting the perfect night sleep this national month.

Clean Sheets, Clean Mind

While many of us in the UK opt to change our bed sheets every fortnight or so, however; many experts have advised we should change them every week instead.

Changing your bed sheets more often can help you sleep better as knowing that your sheets are clean and tidy can offer great peace of mind ensuring you feel more relaxed. The same can be said for clearing away any unnecessary clutter or cleaning up any mess. They say a tidy room produces a tidy mind, and we happen to say this rings true.

Populate Your Room With Nice Smell

Following on nicely from smelling clean and fresh sheets; filling your room with nostril pleasing scents is another way to help you relax and, of course, get more sleep.

Studies have found that nice smells help your body to relax. It is commonly known that lavender is the best at making you feel relaxed and sleepy.

Establish A Routine

Destressing from your day can be quite an arduous task. Your brain will be going a hundred miles an hour making it very hard to rest your eyes to sleep.

A proven and effective way to destress from your day to prepare to get your recommended shut eye is to establish a bedtime routine. The routine can include any way you find effective for calming down and relaxing.

Some popular techniques enacted include: watching soothing videos; similarly listening to relaxing music and avoiding interactions with screens.

Perform A Digital Detox

Linking back to avoiding screens; employing a digital detox is a fantastic way to increase your chances of sleeping better.

Over the last two years, various COVID restrictions have been in place making many of us increasingly reliant on our digital forms of communication. As a direct result of this, it makes it significantly harder to switch off from our phones and other electronic devices.

However, we strongly encourage you to switch off from your digital screens, especially before going to bed. Active screens emit blue lights. This surprisingly harmful light restrains your eye from producing melatonin and in turn, this makes it increasingly harder to fall asleep and wake up.

Reinvest In Your Bed and Mattress

Most commonly used items such as cars and televisions will require reinvestment eventually.

You might require a replacement bed or mattress. Luckily, here at Toons we offer high quality mattresses and beds in Swadlincote.
