Tips to get a good nights sleep



July 2024

Getting a good night's sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. Here are several tips to help you achieve better sleep:

Establish a Routine

Consistent Sleep Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
Pre-Sleep Routine: Develop a relaxing bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to wind down. This could include reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation exercises.

Optimize Your Sleep Environment

Comfortable Mattress and Pillows: Ensure your mattress and pillows are comfortable and supportive.
Cool, Dark, and Quiet Room: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains, earplugs, or a white noise machine.
Limit Light Exposure: Reduce exposure to bright lights, especially blue light from screens, in the hour before bed.

Lifestyle Habits


Limit Stimulants: Avoid caffeine and nicotine in the late afternoon and evening.
Avoid Heavy Meals and Alcohol: Large meals and alcohol close to bedtime can disrupt sleep.
Exercise Regularly: Engage in regular physical activity, but try to finish exercising at least a few hours before bedtime.

Manage Stress and Anxiety


Relaxation Techniques: Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
Journaling: Write down your worries or to-do list to clear your mind before bed.

Sleep Hygiene


Limit Naps: Avoid long naps during the day, especially late in the afternoon.
Bed for Sleep Only: Use your bed only for sleep and sex, avoiding activities like watching TV or working in bed.

Monitor Sleep Quality


Track Your Sleep: Use a sleep tracker or keep a sleep diary to monitor your sleep patterns and identify any issues.
Consult a Professional: If you continue to have trouble sleeping, consider consulting a healthcare professional or a sleep specialist.

Quick Tips


Wind Down: Spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity.
Stay Cool: Keep your bedroom temperature between 60-67°F (15-19°C).
Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to bed.
Implementing these tips can help improve the quality of your sleep and ensure you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Recently brought a new bed from Bowyers. Great experience in store, more than happy to accomodate our needs. Bed was available very quickly, however, we weren’t ready so the team held onto it until we were. Delivery team were very efficient and set the bed up. Highly recommend. Thank you 😊

Outstanding service from Bowyers Beds and Carpets. What a refreshing change it was to do business with a family-owned retailer instead of a faceless warehouse. From the start I was given really helpful advice from someone who really knew his subject, and I found exactly what I wanted in minutes, with absolutely no pressure. Parking was easy, the staff were friendly, the price was fair, and I coincided with their free mattress removal offer. Delivery was equally smooth, with a cheerful driver delivering the new mattress to the landing, and removing the old one within a minute. On the basis of this transaction I would highly recommend Bowyers to anyone needing a new mattress.

Fantastic non nonsense service from Chris who helped me to choose a suitable mattress for my new super king bed. I have the Emerald and it’s a delight to sleep on. I highly recommend Bowyers for service and quality.
