Although for many animals the winter is the “lethargy” season, for humans can stand for a period of sleepless nights and consequently tiredness

If you want to rest well also during the cold winter nights, do not commit these 7 errors!

1. You Keep the Temperature Inside the House Too High Or Too Low

If a bedroom is too warm or too cold, your sleep will be compromised: Do not exceed 19°C  and do not drop the temperature below the 17°C!

2. You Eat Food That is Too Heavy in the Evening

During the winter season we often change our eating habits, reducing the quantity of vegetables and fresh food in our diet: Especially at dinner, try to avoid food full of calories that might slow your digestion and ruin your sleep!

3. You Do Not Exercise Regularly

A healthy physical activity is mandatory to have a good rest, but during the winter we tend to exercise less: Take a walk, go in the gym, or do some exercise at home, but do not get lazy!

4. You Oversleep On Weekends

Even if you don’t have plans for the weekends, try not to modify your sleep-awake cycle and change your sleep habits!

5. You Don’t Check the Humidity In the Bedroom

Make sure that the humidity in your bedroom does not go over than 55% or go less than 50%: A too dry or too humid air can compromise your rest.

6. You Don’t Ventilate the Room Properly

Even if it’s cold outside, it’s important to air out the bedroom, especially if you suffer from dust mite allergy!

7. You Drink Too Much Hot Beverages, Full Of Caffeine and Sugar

Before going to sleep, an herbal tea can help you to rest better, but do not overdo with sugar, avoid coffee and drink only decaffeinated tea.

Do not Forget To Choose a Quality Bed System!

Find an authorized retailer and get the mattress, the bed base and the pillow that meet your physical characteristics, you’ll sleep well in every season!

The brain needs the darkness to recharge itself: For this reason you should shut off your smartphone, your television, and your laptop when in bed; Use curtains or an eye mask to protect you from the outside light.

2. Read a (Boring) Book Until Your Eyes Get Closed!

Reading a boring book is one of the most popular way to fall asleep, your eyes will close easily!

3. Choose Your Favorite Position!

On your back, on your stomach, or on your side, whatever your favorite position, choose it to fall asleep!

4. Avoid Nap Time

If it’s not simple for you falling asleep at night, it’s better be very tired at evening, that means also avoid naps during the day!

A quality sleep is your source of vitality and well-being: Find out how the science can help you to improve your rest and then your life!

In this article we have listed the 12 (simple) scientifically approved tips to get a quality sleep and, as a consequence, to live better when you are “awake”.

1. Use the 90 Minutes Rule

When we sleep our brain follows sleep cycles that last about 90 minutes. This means that our awakening will be easier and more natural if it is set up at the end of one of these sleep cycles: For example if you are waking up at 7 o’Clock, you should go to sleep at 10 P.M. or 11:30 P.M.

2. If You Need a Nap, Take It Between 1 P.M. and 3 P.M.

It’s during this lapse of time that our level of attention and wakefulness goes down dramatically and later goes up again: If you can, spend this time to give yourself a power nap during the afternoon to recharge your body and mind!

3. Drink a Coffee Before the Power Nap

Another tip to recharge yourself after lunch is drinking a coffee just before to take a short nap: The caffeine in fact needs about 20 minutes to give its effects, the time required for a “power nap”.

4. Avoid Screen At Least 1 Hour Before Bedtime

The researches have shown that the artificial light of screen can compromise the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep-awake cycles: For this reason you should switch off Television, smartphone, tablet, and laptop at least 1 hour before going to bed.

5. Wear a Pair Of Socks During the Night If You Are Very Sensitive To the Cold

It can happens (especially for the ladies!) to awake during the night because of cold feet, due to a bad blood circulation that tends to not heat well the ends of our body. In this case wear a pair of socks during the night and you’ll not wake up (not even your partner) for cold feet!

6. Take a Hot Bath Before Going To Sleep

An hot bath (or a shower) is an excellent way to relax yourself and induce the sleep.

7. Don’t Bring Your Worries To Bed!

Stress is the main cause of sleep disorders; Several researches have shown that speaking about our problems, or writing them down on a diary, can help our brain to relax.

8. Use Your Bed For Sleep Only

The bedroom must be our relaxing place; It’s better if you don’t install inside any television or computer. If you are a student, it’s preferable if you don’t use your bedroom for studying.

9. Find Out How Much Sleep You Need!

Do you want to figure out how many hours of sleep your body really needs? Do like this: Set your alarm at a specific time, for example 7 o’clock in the morning, that you have to observe every day (weekends included) for at least 2 weeks, no exceptions.

Your body set up itself according to this awakening time and at evening will send you unequivocal signals that it’s time to go to bed!

10. Use Aromatherapy

A research published by the Wall Street Journal shown that the use of aromatherapy bring benefits on sleep: In fact the volunteers, whose clothes were “flavored” with some drops of lavender, have improved their sleep quality.

11. Let Yourself Be Spoilt by Sweet Notes

In our recent article, we’ve already shown you the amazing benefits of the music on sleep (if you want to learn more about, please check here “Do You Know That the Music Can Affect Your Sleep?”): It’s scientifically proven that some natural and relaxing sounds and musics help to have a better sleep.

According to some surveys, there are many couples who decided to sleep in separate rooms for “sleep incompatibility”.

It seems incredible, but sleeping together is not always easy!

Do you find yourself in one of the situations below? Obviously it’s the same inverting the roles…

1. He Snore, She Is a Light Sleeper

Snoring is one of the most common sleep problems that often can be easily solved: Avoid to drink alcoholic beverages and heavy foods, sleep on one side and use a snore-stopper band which easily frees the nose airways.

If it doesn’t work, protect the ears of the other person, buying a pair of ear plugs.

2. He Loves Darkness, She Wants to Be Able To Find The Way To the Bathroom

Use a nightlight in the bathroom, so the light under the door will guide you to the right way or keep a torch on your bedside (but punt it on the floor in order to not wake up your partner!).

3. He Wants To Sleep, She Likes Reading In Bed

You can use a book-light that punt the light to the book without annoying your loved one, or ask him to wear a eye-mask.

4. She Feels Cold, He Feels Hot

It’s a good rule do not go over the 18°C in the bedroom, but if you feel cold, add a blanket on your side or wear a warmer pajamas.

5. He Stoles the Blankets, She Wakes Up Freezing

Use 2 blankets, one for each, a very common practice in many hotels!

6. He Likes a Firm Support, She Prefers a Soft Mattress

One of the most common problems! Buy 2 single mattresses that fit your different needs and push them together inside one mattress cover.

The sleep is a subject of great fascination for science that today still can’t provide answers  to many questions about this mysterious process that takes up a third of our lives!

Maybe this is why many directors and film authors have chosen the sleep and the dreams as a subject of their movies? Check out our list! Have you already seen all these movies?

1. The Machinist

The story of a record insomnia: In fact the central figure of this surreal adventure is a man who can’t sleep from almost a year!

2. Inception

The answer is no! Many animals, such as dogs and cats, simply lie down on the floor (or very often on the couch), but many others have different and bizarre habits.

Which are the sleep positions and habits in nature? Which is the animal that more looks like us in bed?

In Equilibrium… Like a Leopard!

The leopards have an exceptional ability to stay on balance and this allows them to sleep on a narrow branch of a tree without falling down!

Also the sloth likes to sleep high, in a even more bizarre position: Hunging by its feet on a branch!

Floating… Like a Otter!

This mammal, similar to a beaver, which lives in the seas of South America, loves to be lulled by the waves during its naps, and in order to avoid to be carried away, it binds itself with an algae.

Even the walrus sleeps in the water, but it prefers to sway in a vertical position, using the ice like an anchor where it can sink its long fangs while sleeping.

Tangled… Like a Giraffe!

The giraffe, that usually sleeps no more than a couple of hours a day, lies down and curves its long necks, keeping a position that could cause a stiff neck to any human!

Standing on a Leg… like a Flamingo!

The flamingos sleep standing up and using only one leg while the other one is folded under the wing. They can keep this position thanks to their extraordinary ability to balance that birds develop to orientate themselves during the flight.

The Animal That Most Closely Matches To Our Habits Is…

…the pig! Oh yes: In fact a pig sleeps the same time of us following the same REM phase rhythm.

Even though in positions more or less comfortable, all the living beings need to sleep, but you can do this much more easily, choosing a bed system that allows you to rest well every night.

His idea remained such until the early twentieth century, when after the disastrous economic consequences caused by the First World War, the British government passed the British Summer Time.

2. How Long Does It Take To Get Used To The New Time?

It’s not easy to answer this question because the reaction to the change of time is subjective and it varies from individual to individual.

Till Roenneberg, a researcher of the University of Munich, after conducting some research, said that probably the body never get used to this change, because it’s not possible to change our biological clock as easily as we change our alarm clock!

On the other hand, some researches have demonstrated that 3 weeks is the necessary time for the adaptation to the new time.

3. When Do You Feel Upset?

On Monday and Tuesday after the change of time: The increase of the daylight hours determines the increase the melatonin’s secretion, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wakes cycles.

It’s important to not panic and use some natural remedies and relaxing techniques to alleviate the symptoms related to a possible insomnia.

4. What Are the People Who More Than Others Suffer The Time Change?

Without any doubts the people that use to go to sleep late, and consequently tend to get up later in the morning, will suffer more the early arrive of sunlight.

Which are the best colors? How the colors of the bedroom’s walls can affect our sleep? Find out now!

Seeing With Closed Eyes…

Chris Idzikowski, a researcher of the Sleep Centre of Edinburgh, explained how some receptors in our eyes are more sensitive to certain colors: These receptors, called ganglion cells, are located in the retina and are responsible to send the information to our brain.

The research, performed by the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, has shown that the color to which the cells are more sensitivity is blue!

Which Are the Results of That Study?

The study was conducted on 200 British families: By comparing the colors of their bedrooms and their average time of sleep per night is showed a difference of nearly 2 hours between the best and the worst!

Blue: The Winning Color!

People who have chosen this color use to sleep almost 8 hours every night; Also green and yellow are good choices, on the contrary brown and purple are the colors to avoid because of their average sleep time of less than 6 hours!

Which is the natural rhythm of our sleep? The question has been answered in Brazil, in the small town of Baependi.

A group of English researchers has discovered that in this city people follow a natural sleep-awake cycle, similar to that of pre-industrial civilization. Learn more!

When Do the People of Baependi Go To Sleep and When They Get Up?

The most of them have answered: Waking up at 7.15 a.m. and going to bed at 10.20 p.m. However, people who live in the surrounding countryside have answered: 6.30 a.m. and 9.20 p.m.

Our body naturally adapts itself to the day-night rhythm, for this reason our habits are not far from those of Baependi’s people.

When the sun sets, in fact, our organism produces the melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. Because of artificial lights, often our body doesn’t produce the right amount of melatonin. For this reason we tend to go to sleep later at night, but in the morning we have to wake up early to go to work, and here begin the problems related to sleep deprivation

But the Problem is Not Only the Electricity!

In fact, in the city of Baependi there’s electricity and also cable TV! A professor of molecular neurobiology at the University of Surrey explains that likely the prolonged exposure to sunlight during the day helps the Baependi citizens to improve their sleep!

Sleeping According to Nature

In confirmation of this, a study conducted by the University of Colorado: On average, the sleep-wake cycle of a group of people shifted of about 2 hours, after one week of camping, exposed only to natural light!

How Can We Improve Our Sleep Without Moving to Brazil or Camping?

Expose yourself to the natural sunlight as much as possible during the day and to artificial lights as little as possible during the evening!

In the morning open the bedroom’s curtains and let the light stream inside. In the evening only keep on the lights that are absolutely indispensable.

Your body will thank you!
