How are you sleeping?

1. Keep a steady schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time, even on weekends, helps your body know when it’s time to rest.
2. Sleep hot? Start with your bedroom. Keep the room cool, around 60 to 67°F. Choose breathable cotton or natural lyocell or bamboo sheets and layers you can kick off. Your mattress matters too: breathable Talalay latex and our cool memory foam are made to let heat escape, while traditional dense foam can trap it.  If hot flashes or night sweats wake you often, it’s worth mentioning to your doctor.
3. Put the screens down an hour before bed. Bright light from phones and TVs tells your brain it’s still daytime.
4. Watch the afternoon coffee and evening wine. Caffeine can linger for hours. Alcohol may help you doze off, but it breaks up sleep later and can bring on hot flashes.
5. Try a warm shower before bed. It sounds backward, but your body cools down afterward, and that drop in temperature signals sleep.
6. Check your pillow. Most pillows need replacing every one to two years. Side sleepers usually need a fuller pillow; back and stomach sleepers, a flatter one.
7. Listen to your mattress. Waking up stiff, rolling toward a dip, or sleeping better in a hotel are signs it’s worn out. Our two-sided mattresses can be flipped and rotated, so they wear evenly and last longer.

These tips are general information, not medical advice. If poor sleep keeps up, talk with your doctor.
