Time for Sleep Awareness: National Bed Month
March is designated as the time to focus on and reconsider sleep quality and beds. This National Bed Month raises awareness on how good sleep impacts health and wellbeing. Many thanks to The Sleep Council and The Sleep Charity for starting this awareness month. They provide important tips to help the nation improve both sleep quality and quantity.
The Sleep Charity
The Sleep Charity is a recognized organization that provides expert advice to improve sleep. They support children, teenagers, and adults who face sleep difficulties. Their National Sleep Helpline operates from 7am to 9pm, Sunday to Thursday. Trained advisors assist people struggling with interrupted sleep, early waking, and trouble falling asleep.
Additionally, their website offers Advice Sheets covering many topics. These include relaxation at bedtime, ideal bedroom setups for children, sleep during exams, dealing with jet lag, and menopause-related sleep problems.
Consider Changing Your Old Bed During National Bed Month
We spend nearly one third of our lives asleep. Sleep is vital for health and wellbeing, especially today in a stressful world. The bedroom environment, duvet cover fabric, pajamas, and especially the bed influence sleep quality. Healthy and happy lives depend on good rest. A study found that switching from an uncomfortable old bed to a new one adds 42 more minutes of sleep each night.
During National Bed Month, it’s important to consider how crucial your bed is for rest. With help from Bed Advice UK, tips guide you to ensure your bed meets high standards. Bed and mattress quality are essential for restful nights. Poor beds can cause sleeplessness, release harmful fumes, or trap dust, leading to illness.
Experts suggest changing mattresses every seven years or sooner if sagging, mildew, or stains appear. If you’re unsure how to pick a new bed, Bed Advice UK offers excellent advice on choosing a bed and mattress that suits your needs best.
Upgrade Your Pillows, Duvets, and Bedding Sets
Besides beds, replacing old pillows, duvets, and duvet covers is beneficial. In this month dedicated to sleep awareness, examine all sleep-related items thoroughly. We recommend natural fabrics such as 100% pure cotton duvet covers. They are breathable and better for your skin. Proper bedding helps maintain comfort and temperature during the night. This can significantly improve your sleep quality and comfort.
