Sleep Deprivation May Have Serious Health Risks

Posted September 5th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Why is it that when it’s bedtime, the brain seemingly decides it’s the perfect time to start throwing various worries your way? If you find this is a chronic situation that is causing sleep deprivation, you may wish to evaluate how it is affecting your health…namely your heart health.

Some recent studies brought up at a European Study of Cardiology meeting revealed that getting too little or even too much sleep may be linked to an increase in the risk of developing cardiovascular problems, including strokes, hardening of the arteries, a heart attack, and more. Eleven different studies with over a million participants were used to determine that besides eating well and living an active lifestyle, it is vital to prioritize sleep.

Although it’s typically recommended to sleep about seven to nine hours, authors of the sleep studies suggested six to eight hours is essential to reduce the chances of cardiac disease. Failing to get at least six hours increases the chances of coronary heart disease by just over ten percent. Worse, sleeping too much increased the risk by over thirty percent.

While these studies only suggest a link, they do reinforce the need of getting a good night’s sleep. Part of that means actually falling asleep when it’s bedtime. We can certainly help with that by introducing to the incredible sleep experiences provided by mattress brands like Hästens and Vispring. Curious? Visit our store and we’ll be happy to have you try one of these incredible mattresses.

The Importance of Sleeping Through the Night

Posted August 27th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

For many people, they may fall asleep at a decent time only to wake up several times during the night, resulting in something called fragmented sleep. If the side effects of insufficient sleep weren’t bad enough, recent research once again reinforces how it can contribute to heart disease.

A recent PESA study showed that individuals who slept fewer than six hours a night or woke up several times during the night showed an increased risk of what’s called asymptomatic atherosclerosis, which is the scientific named for the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. Most people are aware that hardening and narrowing of the arteries is a major contributor to heart disease.

The study involved nearly 4,000 middle-aged individuals in good health who were monitored for seven days while their sleep quality was recorded. Several health factors were taken into account such as their physical activity as well as their stress levels, possible depression, or sleep apnea risk.

Even if you get around seven to eight hours of sleep every night, interrupted sleep can still cause you to feel tired and as if you barely slept during the night. That’s why mattresses like those by Hästens and Vispring are made to help you fall asleep faster and perhaps more importantly, stay asleep. With their distinct design, they are both extremely comfortable and they conform to your body so there is little to no tossing and turning during the night.

How Athletes Prioritize Sleep for Their Health

Posted August 1st, 2018 in Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

Athletes are always focused on their bodies – how they can improve their strength, their speed, or their health. The world’s top athletes also focus on sleep, because sleeping has more effects on your health than you’d think.

It’s believed NBA legend LeBron James often aims for twelve hours of sleep a night, and tennis star Roger Federer sleeps for about ten to twelve hours. Clearly they know the importance of sleep. During sleep, your body cleans itself of toxins. Not getting enough sleep can increase your risk of heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. If you’re sleep deprived, you can’t make good decisions or multitask well.

There’s a lot you can do to sleep better. For example, keep away from your phone at night. The light from the screen will suppress melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. You should also stay away from caffeinated beverages before sleeping.

You should do everything you can to get a good night’s sleep. Pro athletes do, so you should too. A mattress by Hästens or names like Vispring will help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep, potentially preventing the effects of a sleep disorder such as insomnia.

What’s Making You Feel Tired?

Posted July 19th, 2018 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands, Vi-Spring by coreyconsulting

During the day, you may run into a scenario where you’re feeling tired despite having slept a decent amount of hours the night before. Even if you get seven hours or so a night, the quantity of your sleep may not be positively affecting the quality. What’s going on? Let’s explore some possible factors.

You’re not sticking to a sleep schedule. It’s been said time and time again and it remains true: it’s important to go to bed and wake up around the same time each night, even on weekends. In fact, it’s arguably more important than getting seven hours of sleep or more. Your brain has a thing for consistency, which means your circadian rhythms will work together in harmony if you stick to a schedule.

You’re pumping iron too late. With so many responsibilities to take care of each day, it’s not always easy to work out in the morning or afternoon. While exercising certainly helps with falling asleep, doing it close to bedtime may prevent the release of melatonin which helps to induce sleep. Always try and work out early if time allows.

You may have an undiagnosed sleep disorder. A sleep disorder such as insomnia can affect millions of people yet they are unaware they are suffering from it. If you think that’s the case, consult a healthcare professional and also take a look at the type of mattress you’re sleeping on.

Hästens Is ICONIC

37337310_839930532872447_6879609285370707968_nIn an industry such as mattresses where there are so many competitors aiming to perfect the science of sleep, the industry has evolved from a series of salespeople selling well-known brands to several lesser-known names catering to consumers looking for mattresses that are environmentally friendly, modern, and can genuinely help a person get a better night’s sleep.

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”.

If you’re curious to try a Hästens bed, visit the Brickell Mattress store today and see why you’ll never sleep the same way again once you’ve tried a Hästens mattress.

Dealing with Lower Back Pain

Posted June 14th, 2018 in Hastens, Mattress Brands, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

lowerBackThe low back, or lumbar area, serves a number of important functions that are imperative to a healthy life. These important functions include movement, structural support, and protection of certain body tissues. It is clear that the lower back plays a pivotal role in ensuring that important functions of the human body run properly. Lower back pain is commonly caused by lumbar strain, nerve irritation, and bone encroachment. Here are some options to remedy lower back pain.

Physical Therapy

Exercise is the ultimate foundation for any lower back pain relief and it should be one of the first non-surgical treatments for relieving your pain. With consistent guidance from your physician and physical therapist, find an exercise that works for you as the severity of back pain differs from person to person. Some exercises widely practiced to alleviate lower back pain are core strengthening, aerobic exercises, stretching and flexibility exercises, and even testing the limits of pain tolerance.

Mindfulness and Meditation

It can be extremely depleting both physically and especially mentally to manage lower back pain. Keeping your mind on your back pain will only escalate your frustration, irritability, depression and other psychological aspects. Some proven relaxation strategies to stray your mind from focusing on the pain are meditation, yoga, and even tai chi.

Lifestyle Modifications

When dealing with lower back pain, it is important to accept limitations and adapt. Start taking notes that trigger your back pain the most and avoid them if possible. Listen to your body and learn to pace yourself, even if this means taking a break when mowing the lawn, or making several trips when carrying groceries. Not only will this ease your back pain, but it will also prevent the underlying condition from worsening.

Could your mattress be causing you all of this lower back pain? It’s quite possible. Visit us at Brickell Mattress and we’ll be happy to help you improve your sleep and get rid of your back pain.

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.
