A good night’s sleep relies on having a good, comfortable bed and with Bedstar’s fantastic range of cheap beds, there’s no reason not to be sleeping on a bed or mattress that’s right for you.
But whilst a new bed might provide part of the solution, do you know how your sleep patterns actually work?
For instance, did you know that women are more prone to suffering from sleep problems than men?
A recent survey found that, on average, a woman aged 30-60 sleeps for just six hours and forty-one minutes during the working week, whilst 63% of women experience symptoms of insomnia at least two nights a week, compared with just 54% of men.
Some of the problems faced by women when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep can be related to menstruation, pregnancy or menopause, but other factors can be at the root of the problem, such as a lack of routine, dietary factors such as alcohol and caffeine or the bedroom environment, including the bed or mattress that you are using.
Understanding your menstrual cycle can greatly improve the quality of your sleep. Changing levels of hormones experienced by a woman throughout the month and over her lifetime, like oestrogen and progesterone, have a direct impact on sleep. Understanding the effects of these hormones, environmental factors and lifestyle habits can help women enjoy a good night’s sleep.
One of the easiest and most effective ways in which you can improve the quality of your sleep it to make sure that your bedroom environment is conducive to relaxation.
Try to have a standard relaxing bedtime routine, and keep regular sleep times and make sure your bedroom is dark, cool and quiet.
