5 simple steps
to improve your sleep
Getting enough sleep is essential to feel well-rested. Sleep affects our entire body and can often affect our mood, alertness and concentration.
According to a Nordic sleep survey from 2022, as many as 4 out of 10 are not satisfied with their sleep and don’t feel well-rested. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your sleep quality.
1: Choose your bed according to
YOUR SLEEPING POSITION
To get the best possible sleeping quality, it is important to choose your bed according to your favourite sleeping position.
Several sleep surveys show that sleeping on your side is the most common sleeping position. That is also why Wonderland set extra focus on how the bed should be designed to give the best quality sleep when sleeping on the side. The shoulder zone hast to be softer to help the shoulder getting down into the bed. The hip zone has to be firmer to support the heavier hip area.
How to improve sleep quality
When we fall asleep, we quickly fall into deep sleep. If the bed suits you and your sleeping position, you can rest calmer and sleep longer in this important phase with deep sleep. Your muscles can get better relaxation, your sleep quality will improve, and you can feel more refreshed and well-rested when you wake up.
If the bed is too soft, your hips will sink too far down.
When the hips get the right support, and the spine
is straight, you get better quality sleep.
Did you know that..
.. you can adjust the firmness of a Wonderland bed. This is how the adjustable hip zone works:
2: Getting better sleep by
optimizing your bedroom
What is important for you to get the best possible sleep? Do you prefer when it is colder or warmer, pitch black or a bit of night light, thin or thick duvet, many pillows, or is just one enough?
The general recommendation is that the bedroom should be calm, dark and adequately regulated. Take your time and find out what works best for you.
The height of your pillow
Do you have a good pillow that provides the correct relaxation for your back and neck? The position of your neck will also affect how well you can sleep. Try different pillow heights to find the one that best suits you and your sleeping position. Wonderland offers both a high and a low pillow.
4: Relax and
FIND YOUR CALM
It can be difficult to fall asleep if your body or mind is in high gear. Try to establish a routine of relaxing activities before bedtime.
For example, taking a hot shower, reading a book, writing down thoughts, listening to music or drinking something nice and warm.
Checking social media or email just before bedtime can make it harder to fall asleep. A good recommendation is to wind down about one hour before you are going to sleep. Then your body and mind starts to relax and wind down.
