5 Tips For Sleep Week

5 Tips For Sleep Week

March 07, 2024

It’s officially World Sleep Week, and we’re focused on giving you a better night’s sleep. Sleep is crucial for our energy levels during the day, and a terrific rest and reset for organ and body function. According to the National Lung, Heart, and Blood Institute, it is recommended for the average adult to get around 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night to ensure a healthy heart and circulatory system, hormone regulation, metabolism, respiratory and immune system, and memory and focus. We get it – keeping a regular sleep routine can be tough when there's so much to do in a day. But don't worry, we've got your back. This year for Sleep Week, get ready to look forward to your next siesta like never before with our list of must-haves for the ultimate sleep experience.

 

Better sheets = better sleeps

An easy way to improve sleep starts with what you sleep on. Investing in some quality sheets is important for sleep hygiene and will help your body regulate temperature throughout the night. Sheets that attract allergens such as dust, pollen, or even pet dander can affect your ability to get a good night's rest. Thanks to brands like Ettitude, sheets today are better than ever before. Enhance your sleep with sheets that are scientifically proven to help you fall asleep and stay asleep by being gentle on your skin, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and by working to help you regulate temperature at night.

 

Sleepwear you can actually sleep in

Having a great set of bed sheets isn’t the only thing that can help you regulate body temperature and improve your sleep quality. What you wear to sleep carries an equal amount of importance. It all comes down to the material that is right for you. In colder seasons, a nice fleece or flannel will help keep you warm while you sleep. Conversely, when it’s warm, light cotton or silk will make sure you stay nice and cool throughout the night. Check out the sleepwear sets from Girlfriend Collective who create next-level comfortable pajamas constructed from recycled cotton.

 

Say goodbye to your outdated alarm clock

There is nothing worse than being startled awake with the cacophony of sound you may be calling an alarm clock. It’s like waking up from a nightmare. Noise in general can have a harmful effect on your sleep routine. In fact,  some people find it hard to fall asleep due to noise pollution in the bedroom or outside their window. These days there's a new generation of bedside alarm clocks that are engineered to lull you into high-quality sleep, play colored noise to mask unwanted noise pollution, and gently wake you up to support your circadian rhythm so you can start every day off right refreshed and well-rested. With a Restore 2 from Hatch, you can ditch your old alarm clock and say hello to your personal sleep assistant that will help you maintain your sleep schedule and circadian rhythm.

 

Teas for sleep

Consuming non-caffeinated herbal tea before bedtime is a great way to prepare your body for much-needed rest. This pre-sleep ritual facilitates proper digestion, reduces inflammation, and induces a calming effect on the body, thereby fostering an environment conducive to restful sleep. Unwind with teas that are tailored for relaxation like chamomile, rooibos, valerian root, and lavender. Our friends at Firebelly Tea created the perfect bundle of teas that are ideal for winding down after a long day. Try their spin on a post-meal classic with their After Dinner Mint which will naturally aid with digestion and sleepiness. For extra digestion support, spice things up with their Internal Combustion herbal tea with fennel and anise. If you are looking for a little cup of paradise, look no further than their Paradise chamomile tea touting flavors of lemon, apples, lavender and rosehips.

 

    Sip at the perfect temperature

    Picture this: You’re getting cozy after a long day in your new comfy sleepwear and you’re sipping on a restful beverage.  And then it happens. Your tea goes cold.  That’s where Ember comes in with Mugs that let you enjoy your sleepy teas at the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last drop. Sleep experts recommend having warm drinks before bed as it can promote natural sleepiness.
