If you’ve ever felt odd, fuzzy, and grumpy after a terrible night’s sleep, you’ll understand how sleep deprivation impacts brain function. Getting enough high-quality sleep improves focus and attention, as well as the majority of cognitive functions—memory, problem-solving, judgment, creativity, and emotional processing.

Sleep is essential for neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to change and adapt to new inputs and experiences. A lack of sleep makes it more difficult for us to absorb what we’ve learned during the day and to recall it afterwards. And those are only the immediate consequences. Sleep deprivation (and prolonged wake durations) have been associated in recent research to longer-term cognitive deterioration, including the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers and sleep specialists are starting to consider getting enough sleep as a possible Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention measure. Much of this preliminary study offers promise that improving sleep may lower the long-term risk of acquiring Alzheimer’s or dementia. Given the rising rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia, these findings should compel neurologists and other physicians to pay close attention to patients’ sleep patterns rather than just brushing off sleep disruption as a normal part of aging. This is crucial because Alzheimer’s, dementia, and cognitive impairment currently have very few effective treatments available.

A good night’s sleep will, at the least, help you function better when you wake up the next day, so there’s really no drawback to determining which sleep tactics will help you have the most restful night. For a better night’s sleep, a Hastens mattress provides the optimum balance of comfort and support, as well as breathability and the ability to regulate your body temperature while sleeping. Each natural component has unique benefits, and when combined, they help to promote a comfortable night’s sleep.

If you’re tired of tossing and turning after your head hits the pillow, perhaps it’s time to get up and establish a better sleep routine. The stress and frustration of not being able to fall asleep might be prolonged by staying in bed. To get yourself back on track for sleep, get up and try one of the following relaxing activities.

Practice Yoga

Many yoga poses are designed to help the body relax and de-stress. Choosing one of them to perform before bedtime will help to calm your thoughts, increase blood flow, and reduce your pulse rate.

Take a Few Deep Breaths

Your brain receives a cue to wind down through deep breathing, which also helps your nervous system relax. 

Stretch Your Muscles

Your body may benefit from performing a specific movement each night to signal to your brain that it is time to sleep. Stretching before bed can stimulate the release of sleep chemicals in the brain. 

Keep a Journal

One reason you could have trouble falling asleep is that you’re mentally checking things off of your “to-do” list rather than unwinding your body and mind. Before going to sleep, journaling can help you get rid of any anxieties or lingering thoughts.

Breathe in a Relaxing Aroma

There is actual science behind how various aromas can help you relax and relieve tension. Add a scented essential oil, diffuser, or candle to your evening routine, though be sure to blow it out before falling asleep.

During the summer, you may notice that your mattress gets warm. Given the rising temperatures, this is to be expected. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for people to be concerned about a warm mattress during the summer months. Unfortunately, hot mattresses can ruin a good night’s sleep more than anything else.

Some types of mattresses retain a great deal of heat, causing users to experience night sweats and restless, sleepless evenings. However, factors such as bedding, room temperature, and individual metabolisms can contribute to heated sleep. For instance, a heated room is likely to induce nighttime perspiration. The same holds true for non-breathable bedding.

Summer isn’t the only thing that makes sleeping hot uncomfortable. During the sleep cycle, the human body passes through several stages. During the night, your body eventually loses its ability to sweat, resulting in an increase in body temperature. What feels nice at 9 p.m. may seem excessively warm at 3 a.m. in this situation.

Whether you sleep hot or cold, a Hästens mattress provides the optimum blend of support and comfort, as well as the ability to regulate your body temperature while sleeping. Each natural material utilized in their mattresses has specific advantages, such as pocket springs, which allow air to travel through the entire bed to promote a healthy sleeping environment. These natural substances, when combined, contribute to a comfortable night’s sleep.

Don’t let your mattress keep you awake another night. Learn more about how a luxury mattress can help you sleep better by visiting Brickell Mattress online or in-store.

Dubbed the “drēmər” by the family-owned Swedish company, the exclusive new model was inspired by the power of the human mind and the infinite possibilities of manifestation. The drēmər is a tribute to Hästens founder Pehr Adolf Janson and the six generations of “dreamers” who helped establish the company as a luxury brand.

The drēmər was designed by the world-renowned interior designer Ferris Rafauli, who also designed the Grand Vividus model. The luxurious bed, like its predecessors, took more than 300 hours to create in the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Köping, Sweden.

Meanwhile, the bed’s foundation is made of the company’s signature blend of cotton, wool, flax, and horsehair. The latter was chosen because it provides natural airflow to keep you cool while you sleep. Rafauli also employed polished leather and metal, both of which are common in saddle construction.

Rafauli outfitted the bed with a signature woven checkerboard cloth based on the brand’s horse monogram, paying tribute to Hästens’ past as expert saddle builders. It’s similar to the fabric used on the Grand Vividus and comes in the same four colors (Traditional Blue, Black Shadow, Natural Shale and Phantom Charcoal). The wonderfully handcrafted velvet headboard, which comes complete with elaborate piping and a striking color to accent the checkered fabric, is what sets the drēmər apart from the Grand Vividus and others. The bed also features a set of elegant lacquered wood legs available in black and blue that were made particularly for the drēmər.

The drēmər, like other Hästens mattresses, may be tailored to fit your body composition, temperature preferences, and firmness preferences. It comes in all of the regular sizes, but it can also be customized to your desired length and width. To top it off, the mattress can be serviced by one of the brand’s unique “bed massagers” as needed to keep it in peak condition.

Do you ever wake up and feel older than you really are? In recent studies, a bad night’s sleep has been linked to having a bad attitude about aging, like feeling old. According to experts, not only does poor sleep make you feel more pessimistic about aging, but it can also harm your health.

Sleep deprivation can have a negative impact on your physical, mental and cognitive health. Researchers discovered that people who rated their sleep the worst felt older. Participants in the two year long study also had the impression that they were rapidly aging. This is thought to be because Sleep deprivation causes the brain’s amygdala and prefrontal cortex to become less connected. These areas are in charge of regulating our impulses and digesting relevant data. Sleep-deprived people, for example, suffer gaps in focus, make poor decisions, engage in unethical behavior and struggle to control negative emotions. In general, those who do not get enough sleep have a harder time processing information.

However, experts also point out that correcting sleep issues may improve people’s aging experiences. A good night’s sleep lays the groundwork for a better day, as you feel more alert and energized. A Hastens mattress offers the ideal combination of comfort and support, as well as breathability and the capacity to regulate your body temperature as you sleep. Each natural substance has distinct advantages, and when combined, they contribute to a restful night’s sleep.

Valentine’s Day is commonly associated with flowers, chocolates and shiny things. Yet, it’s often said the greatest gift is a great night’s sleep. So what’s the best gift for your valentine?

Well, according to sleep experts, new research shows sleeping with a partner can improve one’s overall well-being. Besides the obvious reasons of comfort and safety, sharing a bed with someone has a positive chemical reaction, too. Sleeping next to someone releases dopamine and serotonin, which can be converted into melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that makes a person feel sleepy, and in turn influences sleeping and waking periods. In a sense, this biological clock is responsible for booking one’s sleep every night. Checking them in and out so that they can take full advantage of all the benefits sleep has to offer.

Above the skin and under the sheets, sleeping with a partner can also strengthen a couple’s relationship. A better night’s sleep is key to long-term physical health and emotional wellness. A great night’s sleep calms anxiety and relieves stress, benefitting the relationship of those who share a bed. A well-rested couple is a happier couple, and when a bed is shared with a partner, levels of happiness improve.

This Valentine’s day, perhaps the greatest gift you can give your partner is yourself, though chocolates can never hurt, too.

Sleeping isn’t the only thing better together. This Friday February 11, through Monday February 14, Hastens mattresses invites you to a Valentine’s Day experience. Enjoy a glass of red wine with a bite of chocolate, before getting into bed with your Valentine.

Is there anyone who does not enjoy a good nap? Now you have a good excuse to spend your Sunday afternoons dozing off instead of doing much-need housework – it can provide you with several health benefits. Daytime naps may help those with sleep disorders but can still make a difference for those without.

A short nap can help with sleepiness in the day and help you be more productive by providing you a much-needed boost of energy. Naps speed up alertness, increase reaction time, and help your cognitive functions perform to the best of their ability. Along with it – an increased memory. Multiple studies have found that nappers outperform those who do not nap in remembering new information. Naps can also boost your mood, which is perfect for a midday break from work.

If you can, try taking a daytime nap break from work (best done on one of the Hastens mattresses!)

Naps do not need to be long either – short naps on a horsetail hair mattress are actually better to reap in the health benefits of a good nap. Try a 15 to 30-minute nap. They will leave you feeling refreshed but will keep you from transitioning into a deeper sleep and waking up feeling more exhausted. In fact, long naps can cause issues – sleep inertia and insomnia.

Sleep inertia will have you feeling very groggy and most likely worse off than before your nap. With insomnia, too much daytime sleep can make it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep at night, ultimately disrupting your entire sleep cycle.

Next time you have the urge to doze off, maybe try a quick nap for the kick of energy you need.
