If you wake up at 7am, a natural nap time would be around 2:30pm. Aim for around 20 to 30 minutes of napping to improve focus, mood and concentration, but avoid sinking into a deep sleep and waking up groggy. Make sure you set an alarm clock to wake you up. After you've set your alarm clock, put your phone away for a short digital detox. Find somewhere dark and quiet; close the curtains or invest in noise-cancelling headphones and a good quality eye mask. https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/electric-blankets monthly 0.5 2020-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1600708327244-8ID4HR3M8Y987ZLOML8B/shutterstock_1427337869.jpg Sleep News - Electric blankets - a good idea? - Although modern blankets are safe, you still need to use them properly. The London Fire Service lists the following safety advice: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions Only use a blanket that has the British Safety Standard mark Never use an electric blanket if you’re sharing your bed with a child or pet Never use an electric under-blanket as an over-blanket, or vice versa Keep blankets flat – make sure there is no crumpling Only leave a blanket switched on all night if it has settings for safe all-night use Don’t get blankets wet; if your blanket gets wet, don’t use it. Never switch it on to dry it Unplug if not in use for long periods Do not buy second-hand electric blankets Check regularly for wear and tear and replace at least every 5 years https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/sweet-dreams-are-made-of-these monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599645758175-JEDZXMKW2KMQU8U3B8LE/image-asset.jpeg Sleep News - Sweet dreams are made of…? There continues to be a dispute between scientists on what is the purpose and meaning of dreams but they do agree on one thing: we all dream every night. We generally dream from three to six times per night with each one lasting between five and twenty minutes. But studies have shown that 95% of dreams aren't remembered when we wake up. It's also been shown that we generally dream in silent movies - touch, smell, taste are very rarely invoked in dreams. There is growing evidence that dreams can be based on memories formed in the day, that are transferred into long-term storage in our brain overnight. https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/dream-inspired-works monthly 0.5 2020-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599632263361-H185F0RCNV83BZFH6RN1/jekyll-hyde.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde/Robert Louis Stevenson The classic novel written in the 1800s by Robert Louis Stevenson and is about a man who has a split personality – the good Dr. Jekyll, and the terrible Mr. Hyde. It is said that Stevenson was fascinated with split personality disorder but was unable to figure out how to put it into writing. However, one night he dreamt about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: “In the small hours of one morning… I was awakened by cries of horror from Louis,” his wife Fanny explained. “Thinking he had a nightmare, I awakened him. He said angrily ‘Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale.’” Stevenson was apparently sick with tuberculosis and under doctor’s order to rest when he wrote the novel. He produced the first draft of 30,000 words in between three to six days, followed by a second rewritten copy in just three more days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599632455809-6308P92MXURN0IU0QTDX/terminator.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - The Terminator/James Cameron The 1984 movie The Terminator about a cyborg sent back in time to assassinate a woman whose son would lead humans in a war against machines. Director/writer James Cameron was staying at a hotel when a severe flu and fever hit him, causing him to have nightmares. He dreamt of a chrome torso appearing from an explosion and dragging itself with kitchen knives across the floor right at him. He recalled, “I was sick at the time. I had a high fever. I was just lying on the bed thinking and came up with all this bizarre imagery… I think also had the idea that because I was in a foreign city by myself and I felt very dissociated from humanity in general, it was very easy to project myself into these two characters from the future who were out of sync, out of time, out of place.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599632982180-MVLPC4FI0CBZP3ABJJUJ/misery.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - Misery/Stephen King Not surprisingly, Stephen King came up with the idea for his horror novel Misery from a nightmare. It is about a famous author who is rescued from a car crash by his number one fan. However, he soon realises that the crazy fan has other ideas in store for him that include abuse and captivity. King was quoted saying “Like the ideas for some of my other novels, that came to me in a dream. In fact, it happened when I was on Concorde, flying over to England. I fell asleep on the plane and dreamt about a woman who held a writer prisoner and killed him, skinned him, fed the remains to her pig and bound his novel in human skin. I said to myself, ‘I have to write this story.’” And that’s exactly what he did. He wrote the first forty or fifty pages on the landing between the ground level and first floor of the hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599634312826-NDP37QDAQPK6QJC4MIOZ/frankenstein.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - Frankenstein/Mary Shelley In 1816, Mary Godwin and her fiancé, Percy Shelley, visited Lord Byron’s residence in Switzerland. During stormy nights, Lord Byron, who was a poet, would get his guests to read ghost stories to each other. One night, he asked his guests to write down their own horror stories. After the request, this is what Mary claimed happened to her: “When I place my head upon my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to think… I saw – with shut eyes, but acute mental vision – I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some power engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.” She described in great detail the dream that frightened her that night – the dream that inspired her famous novel, Frankenstein. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599634616332-8FWVDHPHA90M47R1RJLZ/Stuart-Little.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - Stuart Little/E.B. White Dreams don’t just inspire monsters and killer cyborgs; the beloved children’s story of a mouse named Stuart Little was inspired by a dream that E.B. White had in the 1920s. The anything-but-ordinary mouse was born into a family of humans in New York City and lived with his parents, his older brother George, and a cat named Snowbell. While Mr. White had the dream in the ’20s, it was only put into a novel in 1945. While he was sleeping on a train, Mr. White dreamt of a little boy who looked and acted a lot like a mouse. He wrote a few episodes about the boy/mouse and put them away with the intent of sharing the stories one day with his nieces and nephews. But around twenty years later his story became a best-seller, and decades later a blockbuster movie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1599632103171-Y0I8499K98517224QFQD/inception-movie.jpg Sleep News - Dream inspired creativity - Inception/Christopher Nolan The 2010 psychological thriller Inception, a movie that is itself about dreams, was inspired by actual dreams. Director Christopher Nolan took the idea from his own lucid dreams for his seventh feature film. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a talented thief who is very skilled at stealing secrets from people while they are dreaming. The premise of the movie requires him to plant an idea inside the mind of a man instead of stealing it. Nolan claims that Inception was an elusive dream. He said “I wanted to do this for a very long time; it’s something I’ve thought about off and on since I was about 16.” He also mentioned that ever since he was a kid, he was fascinated by how he would wake up and then fall back into a lighter sleep but still know that he was dreaming, and even manage to examine the location of his dreams. https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/bedroom-colours-for-better-sleep monthly 0.5 2020-11-29 https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/make-love-not-war monthly 0.5 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1602177557201-TX2WK8FNJ0IBQUCAAB1U/separate-duvets.jpg Sleep News - Make love, not war… (or get some sleep) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1600928604893-BLMF1LPNQ395KOZDWW0J/iStock-906726920.jpg Sleep News - Make love, not war… (or get some sleep) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1602177672676-9XBOVX3JF6GC3LJFW3UP/dual-control.jpg Sleep News - Make love, not war… (or get some sleep) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1602177641113-32ZT674Q2BST9604OS08/stagger-bedtimes.jpg Sleep News - Make love, not war… (or get some sleep) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1602177528691-KJWF2O9PLHKL3VSJMINE/pillow-wall-square-1.jpg Sleep News - Make love, not war… (or get some sleep) https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/everything-about-pillows-and-more monthly 0.5 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1600714581891-1QF39O157WKJSVHK9K21/subject-2_high_low.jpg Sleep News - Everything about pillows and more Side sleeper, pillow too low; this position places load onto the shoulder and the joints on the downward facing side, and also potentially impinges nerves that go down the arm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1600714552018-Z16RQG8DU0K4B2XU3ZMU/subject-2_high-%2B%25281%2529.jpg Sleep News - Everything about pillows and more Side sleeper, pillow too high; the head is tilted and this places load onto the upper vertebrae of the spine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1601197949888-YG02C1VON47EEITY94LQ/AdobeStock_261038030.jpeg Sleep News - Everything about pillows and more - Let’s talk pillows….. https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/is-sleeping-naked-better-for-your-health monthly 0.5 2020-09-23 https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/sleep-your-way-to-better-skin monthly 0.5 2020-09-27 https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/build-your-immune-system-with-sleep monthly 0.5 2020-09-15 https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/lavender-for-better-sleep monthly 0.5 2020-09-30 https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/how-much-sleep-do-we-really-need monthly 0.5 2023-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1601578920008-SD24VAM9VTUCCVLKIMBS/sleep-hours.jpg Sleep News - How much sleep do we really need? https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/science-wont-help-us-find-the-right-mattress monthly 0.5 2020-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1600708327244-8ID4HR3M8Y987ZLOML8B/shutterstock_1427337869.jpg Sleep News - Science won’t help us find the right bed The most important thing when it comes to finding the right mattress is to understand that nobody sleeps the same.

It depends on the stage of life you’re in and what you need the mattress for. You may be just looking to upgrade your kid’s bed or refurbish a guest bedroom, so you don’t need to spend as much, versus if you’re shopping for your main bedroom when you should be looking for a good quality bed that’s right for you and going to last you several years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1604233412362-O8DSPUD6ONEH0VG3320V/thin-mattress.jpg Sleep News - How much should you spend on a mattress? - Cheap is not good The consensus is that a cheap mattress is a false economy – spending, say, less than £300 for your daily-use mattress is almost certainly not going to ensure a good night's sleep, unless you are very young, very light or frequently sleeping somewhere else. Or you will need to replace the mattress more often, perhaps as frequently as every 2 years. Spend a bit extra, say, around £500, and you should not need to change the mattresses for around 5 to 7 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1604235133692-X63MBUNA33Y5ZI3GKIAE/silhouette-interactive-pocket-spring-mattress-medium-152cm-782-80.jpg Sleep News - How much should you spend on a mattress? - Invest in your health Spend as much as you can afford. The minimum should be about £700 on the mattress and bed base combined. Think about it this way - how much would you spend on a sofa, which you’ll only sit on for an hour or two in the evening? This is a product you’re sleeping on for 8 hours every single night so it’s important to look at this as an investment for your health. https://whichmattress.co.uk/sleep-help/whats-the-best-colour-for-bedrooms-and-better-sleep monthly 0.5 2023-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1606662076450-FBQBPP9I2N2ATBGNVBLK/Adobe_Post_20201128_2130040.9630894979947867.png Sleep News - What’s the best colour for bedrooms? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1606664048041-6DSW51E1647MFECM3RRM/matisse.jpg Sleep News - What’s the best colour for bedrooms? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1606662159766-UO9V8LIW1WYC7JQIOFSZ/Adobe_Post_20201128_2107170.48832521842702836.png Sleep News - What’s the best colour for bedrooms? “A certain blue can enter your soul.

A pillow helps keep your neck and spine in comfortable alignment as you sleep. A pillow that is too high or too low places your neck in a tilted position.

But what’s the best base for it? Bases are usually chosen based on design and aesthetics - it’s usually a personal choice based on the style or décor of your bedroom, and they’re not generally considered to influence your sleep. But bases can have a notable influence on how cool or hot you get at night; they can increase or decrease the firmness of your mattress, or even how long your mattress will last before it needs replacing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1608452504841-MD8JVLB46ZI6N0Z1NXJY/Adobe_Post_20201219_1908380.8281273850924095.jpg Bed Bases - Never enough storage And then there are other things you should consider when choosing your base - mattress compatibility, size, storage, style, sturdiness, manoeuvrability - to get the best sleep out of your mattress and make the most of the limited space in your bedroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5244eaf55bbd2c4894df75/1608452405631-I1Y69SMAV7H11BI7PIRN/Adobe_Post_20201219_1917430.35729372934232095.jpg Bed Bases - Divan base or bed frame?
