If You Sleep Well, You’ll Lose Weight Faster!

The winning formula to lose the extra weight and to feel fit is always the same: An healthy and balanced diet and a regular physical activity. But there’s more!

If You Sleep Well, You’ll Lose Weight Faster!

You may already know that the night’s sleep strongly influences your metabolism and the hormones that regulate your organism! That’s why if you sleep well every night, you’ll get back in shape easily!

That’s Why a Bad Sleep Is Not Good For Your Shape!

1. Slower Metabolism

If you suffer from insomnia or you don’t sleep well every night, your metabolism will slow down and it will be more difficult to burn calories during the day.

2. Energizing Snack

If you sleep lesser than 7 hours per night, you’ll get up with less energies. During the day you’ll be forced to have snacks or to drink beverages, probably full of caffeine and sugar, to  recharge yourself. Extra calories that weigh on your metabolism.

3. Untruthful Hormones

The 2 key hormones in this case are the ghrelin and the leptin: The first one says to our body that is time to eat, the second one provokes satiety.

If you do not sleep properly, your organism will produce more ghrelin and less leptin. In a nutshell, you’ll be always hungry and never full!

4. Bad Choices

A recent research published on the scientific journal Nature Communication has shown that a single night of insomnia can negatively affect the activity of your temporal lobe, that is responsible for our sense of judgement: Less judgement means more bad decisions, also when choosing the right and healthier foods to eat.

5. Athleticism & Muscle Tone Compromised

The lack of sleep reduces the body’s ability to synthesize the proteins causing a loss of muscle tone.

Get Back in Fit Starting From a Good Sleep!

The first step to get back in shape is easy: Sleep well every night on a bed system that meets your needs and perfectly fits to your body!

“Sleep On It”, To Think About, But Wake Up and Catch Your Biggest Ideas!

How many times have you heard this advice: “Sleep on it”. During the night our mind metabolizes the events happened during the day, this is why we hope to see everything clearly the morning after. But is that really so?

“Sleep On It”, To Think About, But Wake Up and Catch Your Biggest Ideas!

According to an intuitive idea of a famous American life coach, waking up 30 minutes earlier than usual could solve many of our problems! Read this article and find out more!

Free Your Mind!

During the sleep our mind is totally free: Often we dream weird or crazy things, this is why we have not control on our actions, we are inhibited.

This freedom of thoughts is crucial in creative processes, as well as to find unexpected solutions to our problems.

Try To Do That!

After getting up, our brain needs a few minutes to take action and became vigil: During this period between sleep and wakefulness our mind is still inhibited. Brian Cormack defines this state of mind “Mental Editor”, when our inhibitions can’t stop our ideas.

This is the ideal time to think, have great ideas, and find the solutions that otherwise we would not find!

Tonight put on your bedside table a pen and a notebook. Tomorrow morning set the alarm 30 minutes earlier, open your eyes, and write down what comes in your mind.

A Regenerating Sleep Means an Healthy Mind

During the night our organism and our mind rests, recharges, and regenerates itself to face up the new day!

Get your fill of energy every night: Sleep well thanks to a quality bed! Sleeping well means living better! Choose a mattress, a pillow, and a bed base that perfectly fit your needs!

What Is the Best Sleep Position For You? Find Out Now!

We often change our sleep position during the night: On one side, on the back, or on our stomach.

What Is the Best Sleep Position For You? Find Out Now!

We all have our favorite sleep position, but you may be surprised to know that each of these positions has its pros and cons! Learn more about it in this article and improve your sleep and your life starting from tonight!

On the Back: “Breast & Intestines” Will Thank you!

The supine position is perhaps the most recommended by every sleep expert. In fact, when we sleep lying with our belly up, our vertebral column is perfectly aligned.  

Pros: This position reduces the acid reflux problem, choose it if you suffer from this disease.

Moreover, women have more to gain from this position: If you sleep on one side, the gravity will force the top breast to bend farther, causing those thick lines on the chest. If you sleep supine, you’ll avoid wrinkles.

But be careful, if you snore at night, choose the next position!

On One Side: Perfect for “Loud” People

Sleeping on one side helps breathing and for this reason is the best position if you snore during the sleep.

The position “on one side” is also good for the blood circulation and the favorite of every mum-to-be!

Be careful if you suffer from back pains or hips pains, it would be better to sleep on your back.

On Your Stomach? Better Change!

Sleeping on your stomach has no benefits for you than to reduce snoring compared to the supine position. You should always avoid this sleep position because of the bad positioning of back and neck!

What Is Your Favorite Sleep Position?

Remember that, whatever your best position is, in order to get benefits from your rest, waking up full of energy and without back pains, it’s essential to rest in a bed system that fits your physical characteristics!

Why Do You Feel Tired, Even When You Sleep For a Long Time?

Sometimes too much work or study, stress, and worries prevent us from sleeping well every night and for a proper time!

Why Do You Feel Tired, Even When You Sleep For a Long Time?

For this reason, you might decide to recover the lost sleep with a “sleep marathon” in order to get back energy: But then you feel more tired than before! Find out in this article why!

Why Do You Feel Tired?

Our body has a weakness for habits: Follow a regular sleep-wake cycle, respecting the natural time of your circadian rhythm, this is what your body needs!

If you change your habitual schedule, sleeping more hours than usual, you are going to alter your inner clock, that can go haywire.

For this reason you can be jet lagged, as coming back from China!

The Stages of Sleep

On average a sleep cycle lasts 90 minutes and each of us, every night, goes through 5 complete cycles for a total of 6/7 hours of sleep.

If you stay in bed longer, you will increase the number of these cycles, often waking up right in the middle of a cycle, during the REM phase.

The Inertia of Sleep

During those 5/10 minutes after waking up, our brain has not yet been “switched on”, it’s called the inertia of sleep, when just woke up, you feel groggy.

If you procrastinate the time to wake up or decide to sleep more time, you’ll extend this condition and you might feel sleepy and tired for the rest of the day!

Quality Over Quantity!

If you think to replace a bad night’s sleep with a longer one, you’re going to fail!

It’s important to follow a proper sleep routine every day, and keep it also during the weekend. But do not forget that a good sleep means a quality sleep, not a long night’s sleep!

How to Stop Thinking so Much When Trying to Sleep? Here 3 Simple Tips

Each of us has experienced the situation when we lie in bed trying to sleep but we can’t fall asleep because our brain doesn’t want to stop thinking about problems, what we’re done during the day, and what we should do tomorrow!

How to Stop Thinking so Much When Trying to Sleep? Here 3 Simple Tips

If you are among those people who have difficulty to fall asleep because your brain can’t stop racing, here you’ll find some useful and simple tips which can help you to solve this problem.

1. Listen To “White Noises” To Fall Asleep Easily

The white light is the sum of all visible colors, in the same way as the white noise is the sum of all audible sounds.

The sound of falling rain, of an hairdryer, or of a fan are some examples of white noises.

The “white noises” sync with the frequencies of brain waves that are involved during the deeper sleep phases. Find out on YouTube “white noise” and listen to some examples of white noises!

2. You Think Too Much Because You Let Your Brain To Do It!

Focus on your breathing, inhale, hold your breath and count to 7, exhale and count to 8. Repeat this simple exercise more than one time and you’ll fall asleep without realizing it!

As an alternative, pay attention to your heart rate, it requires a lot of concentration and for this reason is an amazing calming exercise.

3. If You Write Down your Thoughts, You’ll Feel Better

Keep a notebook and a pen next to your bed and write down your thoughts, ideas, reflections, and whatever jumps in your mind.

This technique will help you to stop those racing thoughts and to clarify and simplify them: it’s easier to solve a calculus by writing it on a piece of paper than solving it in mind!

Now, Take Care of Your Bed!

Have you already tried to follow these tips but you can’t still fall asleep? Maybe you are not sleeping on a bed that fits your physical characteristics. Learn more about our Made in Italy Mattresses!

Yin & Yang: The Ancient Eastern Traditions To Sleep Better!

Who has not heard about Yin and Yang? You’ve surely seen that symbol hundreds of times!

Yin & Yang: The Ancient Eastern Traditions To Sleep Better!

Yin and Yang are the opposite and also the complementary to each other: the Yang represents our active part, the light, the energy; on the other side the Yin is the silence, the shadow, and the rest.

Insomnia in Eastern Culture

The balance between these two opposite forces is vital for every human being, as well as the balance between sleep and wakefulness.

For this reason the Eastern philosophy sees behind many sleep problems an imbalance between the Yin and the Yang.

When the “Yang” Takes Over!

That’s right! If we allow problems to frustrate and upset us before going to sleep, the fire of our Yang will continue to burn within us.

Stress, restlessness, and anxiety will not allow us to sleep and the Yin will not be able to carry out its duty and recharge our “batteries” for a new day.

Here You’ll Find Some Tips…

The Eastern philosophies are full of charm and many times useful for solving our problems relating to anxiety and stress.

Some little tricks will help you to be “balanced” throughout the night:

  1. Keep the temperature not too high, your Yin conforms better to a cool bedroom.
  2. Dinner should be a light meal, the digestion is a Yang activity!
  3. No coffee in the evening, the drink that par excellence feeds the Yang within us!
  4. Help yourself with relaxing sounds! Read this article to learn more: How to Stop Thinking so Much When Trying to Sleep? Here 3 Simple Tips
  5. Do stretching exercises or yoga before going to sleep.

Now Relax and… Sleep!

Why Waking Up At 4:30 for 21 Days Can Change Your Life!

Will the quality of his life be improved or ruined?

#21daysearly, the Early Wake-Up Becomes Viral!

Felipe began this challenge and also decided to share day by day this adventure on his social profiles; a lot of people decided to imitate him!

Why 21 Days?

According to a theory by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, it takes 21 days of practice to make a habit of something! Here starts the challenge of Felipe.

How Does It Feel To Wake Up So Early?

Many of us are forced to wake up early because of work schedule, but most of us wake up a couple of hours later.

Felipe was very satisfied with his experience, first of all because he understood that when you really want to achieve a goal, nothing will stop you!

A Great and Positive Experience…

  • Felipe explained that waking up early in the morning doesn’t mean less sleep, but going to bed earlier, in order to rest the hours you need to recharge your “batteries”.
  • In the interest of his challenge, he had to say goodbye to the “snooze” button, and you should do the same! Delaying getting up 5 or 10 minutes doesn’t help you to be full of energy during the day!
  • Felipe won 2 hours of work per day, in fact, if you start working when the rest of the world is still sleeping, you will have productivity time with no phone calls and emails!
  • No more excuses to go for a walk or to the gym!
  • Last but not least, Felipe had the chance to see the world through different eyes, taking long walk at dawn while the street are still desert!

And You, What Challenge Do You Face To Improve Your Life?

Going to bed early, waking up early (not necessarily at 4:30 a.m.!), and resting on a bed that fits your physical characteristics will surely improve your sleep and then your life!


What Would Happen To Our Body If We Stop Sleeping? 

In 1965 Randy Gardner, a young Californian student, decided to conduct an experiment: he tried to stay awake as long as possible.

What Would Happen To Our Body If We Stopped Sleeping?

His dangerous experiment ran for 264 hours, or better 11 days! But what were the consequences of this practice?

A Guinness World Record!

Randy Gardner was not the only one who attempted the challenge, in fact, a few years ago Tony Wright exceeded the 264 hours, but the judges decided to not report this new Guinness record to deter others from emulating him.

The lack of sleep may cause serious consequences to our organism!

How Did That Go?

Randy was very young and healthy at the time, fortunately the experiment had no long-term consequences for him.

But what happened to his body during the 264 waking hours?

During the 2nd Day…

…his concentration began to decline.

A Few Hours Later…

…he began to lose the ability to identify simple objects around him, even to the touch!

The 3rd Day…

bad mood and disorientation arrived.

The Last Few Days…

…he lost completely the ability to concentrate, he didn’t remember events that occurred a few minutes before and he didn’t recognize people. Then paranoia and hallucinations arrived.

It’s Better Not To Take the Risk!

You don’t need to stay awake 11 days, if insomnia becomes chronic, serious problems may affect your body. The sleep is necessary for the body to regenerate itself.

For this reason, it’s important to rest on a quality bed that meets your physical characteristics.

Sleeping in Socks: Some Good Reasons to Change This Habit!

Some people say that without wearing them it’s impossible to fall asleep, but some researches seem to prove that if you want to sleep well, you should feel a little cold!

Cold is Better!

The optimum temperature of your bedroom should be between 16 °C and 18 °C degrees, do not exaggerate with the heater!

Our amazing body is able to thermoregulate itself while remaining in the right values.

What Does It Happen When We Sleep?

During the night our body temperature goes down: when we begin to feel sleepy in the evening means that our body is cooling and this process continues until 4 a.m. before going back.

This (very small) temperature change is necessary for our body to rest well.

Our 2 Temperature “Zones”

Our body temperature is adjusted to 2 zones: the inside one and the outside one.

The first is set by the brain, while the second, that is influenced from the external environment, is the one on which some neuroscientists have done some experiments to understand how, by lowering and raising, our body temperature affects our sleep.

Feet and Hands: Our External Temperature Regulators

Our body starts to cool down and we begin to feel sleepy, this is the mechanism used by our body to tell us that it’s time to go to the bed.

If You Get Colder Faster, You’ll Fall Asleep Faster! 

Our feet, thanks to their special vascular structure, are the designated parts of our body to regulate our external temperature.

For this reason the Neuroscientist Institute of Amsterdam give us this advice: If you suffer from insomnia, sleep with your feet outside the blanket!

Are You Ready to Try?

This experiment is only for daredevils! Before freezing your feet, make sure that the cause of your insomnia is not a bed that don’t meets your physical characteristics! Visit our online shop and find out our Made in Italy mattresses!

Do You Feel Sleepy? Keep Calm, You’re in Hibernation!

During the cold winter mornings, eaow many of us have envied a bear in its warm lair?

Find out the reasons why also “humans” need to sleep more during the winter.

A Long Winter Rest…

The hibernation of animals is a very unique and fascinating physical condition: the heartbeat slows while the blood pressure and the body temperature drop.

Also our body changes depending on the season, this is the reason why it’s so hard to get out the bed during the winter!

Why Do We need to Sleep More During the Winter? 

According to a research of the America Academy of Sleep Medicine, the cold season has a great impact on our sleep quality. How?

1. Natural Light

Because of the limited exposure to natural light, our body produces less melatonin, which is the hormone that regulates our internal clock.

2. Temperatures

The temperature change, when we get in and out of our house, office, and stores, affects our natural sleep-wake rhythm.

3. Food

The winter diet is often heavier compared to the summer diet; if our metabolism slows, we’ll feel more tired.

4. Work Out

The best ones do not stop to work out in the winter, but in any case, we tend to do less exercise during the cold season. Physical exercise is essential to keep us energized and, above all, more awake!

5. Seasonal Problems

Cold, cough, and headaches can be a torment! Keep us up at night and during the day we feel sleepy and tired!

Are You Ready For The Spring Season?

Unlike most animals, we don’t need long periods of sleep to recharge ourselves! Sleep well every night, at least 7 hours on a quality bed that will improve your rest and then your life!
