Do you know what a good night’s sleep does for you?

Sleep quality has been proven to affect health at various levels. One of the World Sleep Society’s 10 recommendations for better sleep is to have a comfortable bed. Find out which mattress is best for you

Sleeping well is one of the secrets of well-being, longevity, and good intellectual and physical performance. Whoever says it is science itself and the explanation has all the logic: sleep – when enough and restful – is the only way our body has to rebalance itself from the natural wear and tear of everyday life. In other words, and as the Portuguese Sleep Association explains, it is by sleeping that we restore the energy that allows us to save memories, treat cells that have suffered damage, reestablish defenses and recharge batteries for the next day.

Sleeping poorly can be dangerous …

Have you found yourself with irritability, lack of concentration, memory loss, and tiredness for no apparent reason? Perhaps the reason is insufficient or shallow sleep. And these symptoms are just signs of what may be on the way if you continue to sleep poorly: cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, obesity, depression, low productivity, and a greater propensity for road accidents. A recent study by the Institute of Neuroscience and Cell Biology at the University of Coimbra has even concluded that poor sleep accelerates aging.

… But sleeping well is at your fingertips

Achieving restful sleep, which is good for your health, mood, and life, may take some time, but it is perfectly possible. Experts are unanimous in stating that, in the vast majority of cases, it all involves adopting good habits and good sleep hygiene. Here we highlight five of these habits, which you can put into practice this evening:

1 – Establish a schedule
Considering that, on average, we should sleep 6 to 8 hours a day, set certain times for bedtime and for waking up. This will help your body to create a rhythm and will facilitate the whole process.

2 – Attention to dinner time
Going to bed on a full stomach impairs both sleep and lying hungry. Try to eat at least two hours before bed and avoid heavy foods at dinner. Drinking a lot of water at night can “force” you to interrupt sleep, which is also not advised. Therefore, try to ingest the necessary amount of fluids (about 1.5l) as soon as possible to make you less thirsty at dinner.

3 – Do physical exercise
This is a piece of advice that we find in all the good practice lists, whether to lose weight, regulate blood pressure, or relieve anxiety. And it is not difficult to see that if physical activity helps to oxygenate the body and to spend the accumulated energy, it also helps to sleep better. There is no need to spend hours in the gym or run marathons: exercise with pleasure and be persistent.

4 – Turn off wi-fi It
is increasingly difficult to turn off electronic devices, but doing so is a fundamental habit for sleeping really well. Social networks, for example, excite the brain, and the light from the devices causes a state of alertness that makes it difficult to fall asleep. Prefer a good conversation or a good book to improve your sleep and your life.

5 – Love your bed
To enjoy going to bed, nothing better than feeling comfortable when you lie down. Allow yourself to end the day in beauty. It is important to have a nice and tidy room, as well as a good size bed. But the mattress is the most important piece for restful sleep and, although little is said about it, it should be as personalized as possible.

How to find the best mattress?

The best mattress for you is one that corresponds to your preferences in terms of firmness and dimensions, but also to your body type and to factors such as the temperature of your room or the need to sleep on a mattress that contributes to greater muscle relaxation and column.

On the website, in addition to the explanation of each product, you will find all guidelines and information to make the best choice. You can choose from different sizes, compositions, and functions. For each specific need, a mattress:

For those who suffer from heat during the night:
If you can stand the heat well during the day, but you sweat a lot when sleeping, possibly your mattress is the culprit. People who suffer from the heat while sleeping need a fresh, breathable mattress. The Maxcolchon range includes models especially suitable for those who suffer from a lot of heat. Thanks to advanced technologies, the temperature of the mattress remain stable, as the moisture is quickly evaporated and the heat that the body emanates is dissipated. When choosing your mattress, make sure that the specifications indicate that it is recommended for people who suffer from a lot of heat.

For those who suffer from back or muscle pain:
When you have muscle pain or spinal problems, the ideal is to sleep on a viscoelastic mattress, whose characteristics ensure perfect adaptability and, consequently, greater relaxation of the muscles. This way, your mattress will help to recover the wear and tear suffered during the day, preventing pain and injury.

For those who want to save on their wallet, but not in comfort:
Who wants to purchase a quality mattress without compromising the family budget, we have good news; the prices practiced by Maxcolchon are, in general, very affordable and, in addition, there are truly economical models that, like all branded products, always have 100 nights for experimentation and a 10-year warranty.
