Your Brain Needs a Daily Reboot


As a person becomes more and more sleep-deprived, their brain will start to “misbehave”. Actions will become more sluggish, decision making is harder, and in severe cases, a person’s brain may cause them to start seeing things that aren’t there. Taking care of mental health by getting a good night’s sleep is, therefore, important.

To further illustrate how important sleep is to the brain, recent studies are showing that when a person sleeps, the brain goes through a “reboot” process of sorts. Think of your smartphone. If it starts to become sluggish, restarting it often solves the process. With this re-actualization process of the brain, the brain takes care of updating a person’s memories and “detoxing” the brain so that it’s fresh and better able to take care of things like problem or puzzle solving.

Is Snoring Affecting Your Sleep?

Posted January 11th, 2019 in Carpe Diem, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

One of the most common things many of us do when we’re sleeping is snoring. In most cases, it’s nothing of concern. However, if snoring is consistent, it can lead to a reduction of sleep quality which, in turn, can result in several negative effects such as irritability, fatigue, and potential relationship strain due to a partner being unable to sleep.

The underlying reasons for snoring aren’t quite as complicated as you may think. It happens when air flow encounters obstructions, causing a “rattle” in the tissues of the throat and nose which leads to the familiar snoring sound. People that sleep on their back, consume large amounts of alcohol, smoke, or are overweight all have greater odds of snoring.

So, how do you stop snoring? There are simple steps you can take. For starters, making some changes to the lifestyle such as weight control, not consuming alcohol before bedtime, and refraining from smoking can help. Ensuring your mattress is providing the proper support can also help. The brands we sell like Vispring and Hastens are renowned for their exceptional support.

Sleep Positions and Your Body

Posted December 6th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Have you ever woken up with your neck feeling unusually stiff? If so, you may have automatically assumed it was because you slept in a bad position. Though there isn’t much you can do once you drift off to sleep in terms of adjusting your position, there are a couple of signs that may indicate your mattress isn’t providing the support to ensure you aren’t tossing and turning into some awkward positions.

Tingling and numbness. If your arm or hands tingle, it could be you aren’t sleeping the right way. Sleeping on your side, for example, can put pressure on the nerves in your arm or hand. One option if you are a side sleeper is to purchase a contoured pillow.

Wrist or elbow irritation. That tingling sensation could also happen if your wrist or elbow is bent for a prolonged period. It’s not uncommon for people to grab onto their pillow or place their hand underneath the pillow for greater support. This is also common when you wake up in the morning to turn off your alarm and your hand has “fallen asleep”.

Chronic pain. Stomach sleeping can cause back strain as well as a strain in the neck. Hence, it is important to have a firm sleep surface so that the body is properly supported if that’s what you find comfortable.

If it’s the mattress that’s keeping you up and causing you aches, pain, and strain, we have mattresses by names like Vispring and Hästens. These names have achieved a near-legendary status for being exceptionally comfortable and providing continuous support regardless of your preferred sleeping position.

Science Reveals Yet Another Side Effect of Sleep Deprivation

Posted November 8th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

We all know that a good night’s sleep keeps the body and mind in good shape and may prevent lots of illnesses. In case you needed yet another reason to get to bed on time, a recent study suggests that sleeping less than six hours a night will result in another body ailment: dehydration.

Sure enough, researchers discovered that people who slept less than six hours a night showed greater odds of being hydrated, as much as 59 percent compared to those that regularly slept eight hours. The researchers believe this may be due to a hormone in the body called vasopressin which the body regularly releases throughout the day to keep fluid levels manageable. The hormone is released on a quicker basis and later on during the sleep cycle. Because it makes sure that the body doesn’t lose excess water during sleep, vasopressin is unable to properly do its job, resulting in dehydration.

One of the numerous reasons why people don’t get enough sleep or suffer from insomnia is due to having an uncomfortable mattress. With a Vispring or Hastens mattress, there is practically no such thing as tossing and turning as these beds are world-renowned for their optimum comfort and ability to help people fall asleep in a few minutes versus hours. Come to Brickell Mattress and try one today!

Getting Back to a Regular Sleep Schedule

Chances are you’ve had one of those moments where you’re in bed for what seems like ages. This often results in insomnia, which isn’t helped by the anxiety that results from worrying about how the lack of sleep will affect you the following day.

Regardless of when it happens, insomnia, in its simplest form, simply means having trouble sleeping. However, it can linger for a couple of days, weeks, or in severe cases, even months, resulting in what’s called acute insomnia. Most of us have probably experienced short periods of acute insomnia, or we know someone who has. It will affect anyone regardless of age but there may be greater odds of developing chronic insomnia as a person ages.

Acute insomnia can happen for a number of reasons, but stress tends to be a common one. This stress may come from something such as being worried about something. As a result, the body decides dealing with this stress is a greater priority than getting some sleep.

Is insomnia affecting you on a non-critical level? One way to tackle is to simply not do a thing as your sleep schedule may get fixed provided you’re not napping or going to bed too early. Then again, your body may be using insomnia to tell you it’s not comfortable because your mattress isn’t providing the back support to help keep you asleep. If that’s the case, the mattress brands we sell like Vispring and Hästens are here to save the day. Visit us and we’ll be happy to tell you more and possibly make your insomnia a thing of the past.

This topic was one of the talking points in an article published earlier this year in ICONIC Magazine which covers design, food, travel, and style. Titled “Smarter Sleep is a Wink Away”, one of the brands covered in the article is Hästens which ICONIC recommends as the mattress readers should purchase “if money is no object”. One of the mattresses specifically mentioned is the article is the widely acclaimed Hästens Vividus which the article says is “the closest thing to a haute couture mattress you can get”.

Sleep Cool During the Summer

Posted June 21st, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

damnitshotFor those of you that live in South Florida, you already know the temperatures can easily reach the upper 90s during the summer. With the humid nights, there are greater odds of waking up sweating and for many people, trying to get a good’s night rest when it’s hot is easier said than done. Thankfully, there are some easy steps you can take to potentially cool down when it’s time for bed.

One way to keep cool simply involves the use of water. Just before going to bed, wash your feet using cold water. You can also run your wrists under the cold water, which may also help further in lowering your body temperature so you sleep cooler. As an alternative to washing your feet, you can try placing them in cold water while you drift off to sleep, just be careful not to spill the water when you start to feel drowsy.

Remember that your mattress also plays a major role in keeping you cool. High-end mattress brands like Hästens use all-natural materials that help with wicking away moisture and they also allow air to circulate through the mattress so that you don’t wake up drenched in sweat.

How to Increase the Quality of Your Sleep

Posted June 11th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

sleepThe quality of your sleep matters a lot, because it can affect your mental capacity for the rest of your day. A restless, light sleep means you might still be tired in the morning. If you find yourself struggling to get a good night’s rest, then follow these tips to increase the quality of your sleep.

Take a sleep study. A sleep study is the best way to discover your sleep problems. The study can tell you why you have trouble sleeping, if you wake up multiple times a night, and what sleep cycles you’re in. Doctors can diagnose you with a sleeping disorder through a sleep study.

Put your electronics away. Electronics can distract from sleeping, and the brightness from the screen can keep you up. Put your phone in another room.

Sleep in a cool, dark room. Make sure you aren’t uncomfortable at night, because then you’ll have more difficulty sleeping. You could turn on a fan, use a different blanket, or change mattresses. Brickell Mattress sells dozens of mattresses that might help you out.

Try to go to sleep and wake up the same time every day. This will help your body fall into a sleeping rhythm. Over time, it might get easier to fall asleep.

These tips will help you maintain a steady, restful sleep every night but don’t forget that your mattress also helps. If you haven’t tried the magic of Hästens or other brands like Vispring, these mattresses are made with natural materials for a better night’s sleep. We’ll be happy to tell you more.
