Are you ready to get a better night of sleep?
Here some simple solutions and ideas.
An adequately firm surface with enough room
to stretch out is a great starting point.
Adding a
soft mattress
pad, feather duvet or foam pad can add a touch of softness without
the huge price tag.
Look for clearance or second hand items for extra savings.
Establish
a sleep schedule.
Going to bed and waking up at the same times
every day helps you set your sleep rhythm in a natural way.
Stay
hydrated.
Getting adequate water throughout the day flushes out
toxins.
Dehydration weakens your immune system and can interrupt
sleep.

Get 30 minutes of exercise for better sleep
(not right before bedtime).
When you are physically tired you will fall asleep faster
and have more restful sleep.
And keep in mind that there is difference between being mentally tired and physically tired.

Avoid
alcohol, caffeine and sugar before bedtime.
It fragments sleep.
Sleep with only one pillow to prevent neck and back pain. There are different firmness, find what you like best.
Watch
your posture.
The best position is on your side, with
your spine aligned, knees and elbows bent at a comfortable angle.
Getting
a restful night's sleep shouldn't cost a fortune.
Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!
Stay Frugal,

Good Evening Daniela, Thank you for the tips for a good night sleep. I like the idea of a duvet being used on top of the mattress. I always have water by the bed as I seem to wake up during the night feeling thirsty. The other thing I would recommend is drinking camomile tea, it really helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for the useful tips.
Best Wishes

They're all great tips, Dani! Most of the time I'm so tired when I go to bed, it usually takes me a couple of minutes to fall asleep!
ReplyDeleteI got a plush, fantastic mattress pad at TJ Maxx for a steal- I love it! I definitely need to drink more water, though!

Ah...I hope these tips help. I have a terrible time getting a good night's sleep.
ReplyDeleteDearest Daniela,
ReplyDeleteGreat posting and indeed you don't need an expensive bed. Very important I also find the use of all cotton sheets and duvet covers, including pillow covers.
Thanks for sharing always great tips with your readers!
Hugs,
Mariette
Great tips, Daniela. I'm sleepy now :)

Thanks so much for these great tips. Menopause is wreaking havoc with my sleep these days, so maybe I have to try something new.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips!! If I don't get a water bottle for the day I never drink enough, I need to get back in the habit again! Thanks for the reminder!!!
ReplyDeleteI do have a couple of goose feather duvets and those are really so comfortable for whole night sleep's. I recommend to all my friends to have the same duvets in their bedroom to get relaxed as their body needs.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a wonderful share on goose feather duvets.
