This September the Dial-a-Mattress is supporting the annual Sleeptember campaign from the Sleep Council which promotes the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep.

Sleep is crucial for our own health and wellbeing and it is becoming clear from news headlines that we as a nation aren't getting enough. Research has shown that one-third of us sleep for just 5-6 hours a night, so what are the ways we can increase our time sleeping?

Below are some tips -

Five Ways to Get a Good Night's Sleep

Put the Technology Away - Using tablets and mobile phones before bed stimulates the brain and makes it harder to switch off. The blue light emitted from their screens also messes with our body's circadian rhythms by suppressing sleep-inducing hormone melatonin in the brain which helps to bring on sleep.
Create a New Routine - If you aren't getting enough sleep with your current routine, change it!
Try to go to bed at the same time every night and consider ways to relax before bed such as warm baths, soothing music, reading and perhaps stretching or yoga.
Keep It Clean - Try to declutter your bedroom of distractions and make it a tranquil space for relaxation and sleep only.
Don't Drink Before Bed - Try to avoid caffeine 4-5 hours before bed and also don't drink alcohol at night as it will play havoc with your sleeping pattern. Instead, look to have a hot milky drink or herbal tea.
Change Your Diet - Big meals and spicy food before bedtime can lead to discomfort and indigestion but smaller snacks may be helpful. Food that works well for bedtime snacks contains complex carbohydrates and protein such as dairy products like yoghurt and milk.
