The Health Benefits of Napping

Posted September 28th, 2021 in Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses by coreyconsulting

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.

What Exactly Happens When You Sleep?

There is nothing quite like laying your head down on the pillow at night, feeling yourself drift off into another cozy night of rest. It is even better when you wake up feeling renewed and ready for the day. Sleep is an essential part of the human experience but remains quite a mystery when it comes to health science.

 

Here is what we know for sure:

 

Within minutes of falling asleep, there are significant changes in both the brain and body. Your body temperature drops, brain activity slows, along with your heart rate and respiration. Sleep scientists have narrowed down the four stages of sleeping, each lasting anywhere from 70 to 120 minutes.

 

In the first stage, which occurs in the first five minutes after falling asleep, all body systems are impacted by a good night’s sleep on comfortable mattresses, then transitioning into stage two, where similar things occur, but at a higher rate. It is easier to wake up at this time.

 

The third stage is where your body is relaxed, and the brain has the slowest activity. The third stage is the deepest part of non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Deep sleep is a key part of repairing the body and assists with memory. The final stage is the only stage of REM sleep, where your brain picks up activity, and most of the body goes through temporary paralysis, except your eyes and muscles used for breathing. This is where dreams usually happen.

 

Most people spend most of their sleeping time in REM, occurring more often in the later parts of the night. Each person will experience all four stages, but how long they stay in them and what changes in the body occur will depend on external factors such as activity levels and sleeping environment.

 

Looking for a better night of rest? Hastens mattresses are designed specifically to help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night. Try out the Hastens experience at Brickell Mattress, located in the heart of Miami on Calle Ocho.

Poor Sleep May Derail Your Weight Loss Goals

Are you among the millions of people who resolved to lose weight in 2021? If you’re finding that your weight loss efforts aren’t going as planned, you may want to pay closer attention to your sleep habits. A lack of sleep may up your risk of health conditions like obesity.

While eight hours of sleep is considered ideal, at least seven is recommended to keep the body and mind running smoothly. If you’re sleeping for fewer hours, your risk of gaining weight is increased. You may also be more inclined to consume foods that are high in calories as willpower to refrain from consuming such foods is diminished.

Sleep deprivation will also cause the body to produce greater levels of ghrelin and fewer levels of leptin. These are appetite hormones that may increase the chances of overeating.

Remember that even if you are going to sleep at a decent time, too much tossing and turning as a result of an uncomfortable mattress can also contribute to sleep deprivation.

The Hästens Sleep Spa Debuts This Year

Posted January 5th, 2021 in Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses by coreyconsulting

In case you missed the news last year, Swedish mattress company Hästens quietly contributed its decades of sleep knowledge into the creation of a new hotel that will finally begin to welcome guests this year. However, unlike your standard definition of a hotel, this one is more along the lines of a sleep spa, with a strong focus on ensuring guests receive a restful night’s sleep.

Despite this being Hästens’ first foray into such a type of venture, the Hästens Sleep Spa isn’t in or anywhere near its home of Stockholm. Instead, it is located in Coimbra, Portugal, a city nestled between Porto and Lisbon. The Hästens Sleep Spa also differentiates itself by having just fifteen rooms, each of which is intended to be used for a single night.

When guests check-in, they will be presented a pillow menu to determine the firmness of the pillow. Furthermore, guests can make use of the in-house Restore app and there will even be a sleep specialist doctor available at the front desk. For Hästens, the Hästens Sleep Spa serves as a way for guests to experience what it’s like to sleep on a Hästens bed, all of which are meticulously made by hand.

Hästens Gets Beautifully Creative With Its Store Display

Posted December 9th, 2020 in Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Maybe 2021 is the year when you decide to upgrade your bed and prioritize sleep. If that’s the case, Hästens has got you covered. Speaking of Hästens, over in France, the Hästens store was closed last month because of the pandemic. Instead of resting on its laurels, the Swedish mattress maker got creative.

Using the assistance of Swedish designer Yvonne Börjesson, Hästens decided to spruce up its store window display, showcasing an inviting bedroom experience. Börjesson took the time to truly understand what Hästens is all about and used a Tamerlan headboard to complement the bed and its widely recognized blue check pattern that has become synonymous with the brand. Complementing the bed was a series of Maseiro lamps made by hand, further reinforcing Hästens’ longtime tradition of making its beds entirely by hand using the skills of talented artisans.

Sleep Bliss Awaits on the Hästens Excel

Posted December 4th, 2020 in Hastens Excel, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Few emotions instill such euphoria as waking up with energy and like you just had the best sleep of your life. In addition to multiple layers of exactly assembled all-natural horsetail fur, wool, cotton, and flax, the handmade Hästens Excel does an outstanding job of creating these euphoric feelings and features a sturdy pine base, a double spring mechanism, to create a bed that will have you looking forward to going to sleep each night. Become lost in the comforting embrace of the Excel whenever nap time comes for a fast energy refresh.

The Excel provides pliability, but it separates itself by having greater firmness. By keeping the firmness in check, however, the support is excellently balanced, providing a relaxed atmosphere that you sleep soundly on the bed instead of in it. Thanks to the unique mix of natural materials optimized for optimum air ventilation, you can always sleep at the correct temperature, like all Hästens beds.

The spring systems and wooden frame of the Hästens Excel are integrated into the flax that prevents the bed components from unnecessary friction. This ensures that as you turn about the bed makes no noise and it doesn’t cause residual energy to build up, providing an even more relaxing sleep.

Sleep Paradise Awaits With the Hästens Eala

Posted November 5th, 2020 in Hastens, Hästens mattress, Hästens mattresses by coreyconsulting

Do the words “E Ala Ē” sound odd? They may not make much sense, but in the Hawaiian language, the words are commonly used as a way to gently nudge someone awake. Once the snug, cozy warmth of a Hästens Eala envelops you, it’s not hard to figure out why the bed’s name is so appropriate. The Eala is like sleeping on a cloud in the middle of some serenely picturesque island where the most beautiful sounds of Mother Nature help you wake up feeling rested and ready to go.

With its all-natural horsetail fur, wool, cotton, and flax, the Hästens Eala is a natural sleep experience and its creation is all done meticulously by hand. The Hästens artisans assemble the Eala into a more than twenty square meter blue-check cotton cloth to create the signature look. Once you’ve rested your head on the bed, it’s like going to bed in a blissful paradise every night.
