Spring is here; It’s the perfect time to refresh your home!

Follow our checklist and bring a burst of spring in your bedroom!

Let’s Begin!

1. Wash Everything

Sheets, mattress pad, pillow cases and, if possible, the mattress cover: this is the critical step to refresh up your bed after the long winter months.

If you suffer from dust allergy, in addition to the regular sheets changing, you should wash at 60°C the mattress pad and the mattress cover several times during the year.

2. Pillows

Remove and wash the pillow cases, but first check the washing instructions.

If you suffer from allergy, you should choose a pillow with a washable inner case and made of hypoallergenic materials.

3. It’s Time to Change

Turn your mattress and place it on the summer side.

Do Not Forget!

4. Air Refreshing

Ventilate the room as much as possible during the sunny days.

If you suffer from pollen allergy, you should open the windows only during the hours with low pollen concentration and never during a windy day!

5. Throw Out the Unnecessary

The bedroom should be your “Temple of Sleep”! Do not fill it with unnecessary items.

If you suffer from dust allergy, you shouldn’t have curtains, rugs and books inside the bedroom!

6. Everything Cleaned Up!

Use a damp cloth to clean the room, so you’ll prevent dust from flying around. Do not forget the chandeliers, abat jour, mirrors, and windows!

Bring the Spring Into Your Room!

Enjoy a regenerating sleep! Choose a bed that fits your physical characteristics and needs!

Do you feel more sleepy and tired during the spring?

What’s the truth behind the famous Italian proverb “In april sleep is sweet”? Check now!

Have You Ever Heard About Asthenia?

Asthenia is a special physical condition, which may affect us, for example during the changing season, and it’s better known as “lack of strength”.

Truth or Suggestion?

What for so long was just a popular Italian proverb has also met a scientific acknowledgment!

In april, our organism wakes up after the long winter months. But why do we need more sleep?

Let’s Start Again!

With the arrival of spring, our biological clock and our metabolism change their rhythms and they are regenerated with more vitality, but our body needs a few days to adapt itself to these new rhythms.

For this reason, initially, we feel more tired and sleepy when spring is coming!

More Light, Less Rest!

The days get longer and also the transition to the daylight saving time, which takes place in the last days of March, affects our circadian rhythm!

If we go to bed later, we’ll be more tired and, as a result, our sleep will be more deeply! A real “sweet rest”!

Do Not Change Your Sleep Habits!

Even though your body will be overwhelmed by the warmth and the vitality of the spring, you should keep your sleep habits: it’s OK if you go to sleep a little later than usual, but try to follow the new schedule every day of the week!

The research has involved about 3.000 people who have followed a training program of 150 minutes per week, and the result are these:

• Daily tiredness decreased by 65%.
• Cramps and legs ailments during the sleep are down by 68%.
• Concentration decreased by 45%.

3 Workouts Per Week or 30 Minutes Walking!

The ABCC9 gene, that is been isolated from human DNA, is now called the “sleepyhead gene”!

Those who carry this gene need at least an extra half an hour of sleeping! If you hate getting up in the morning, maybe it’s the fault of your genes! Learn more in this article!

The “ABCC9” Gene

The research, conducted by the Universities of Edinburg and Monaco, has had unexpected results!

The data of about 10.000 people across Europe were collected and then analyzed.

1/5 Of Us Carries the “Sleepyhead Gene”?

The results of the research have shown that people, that carry this particular variant of the ABCC9 gene, usually wake up 30 minutes later (without an alarm clock) than other people.

Do You Need a Few Hours To Recharge Yourself?

In this case, you could have a double copy of this gene! For this reason some people need less hours of sleep during the night.

Could it be for this reason, that Napoleon and Churchill slept only 4 hours a night?

Sleepy Gene Or Bad Habits?

There is a 1/5 chance that you carry these sleepy genes, but before jumping to any hasty conclusions, make sure to follow these healthy habits:

• Have a light dinner.
• Go to bed more or less at the same time every night (not too late).
• Smartphone, tablet, and TV are not allowed in the bedroom!
• Follow a healthy lifestyle.
• Choose a bed, mattress, and pillow that fits your physical characteristics and your needs.

Sleep Well and Improve Your Life!

If you feel sleepy and tired during the day, maybe you don’t follow those good habits.

Can bananas make you sleepy? A glass of hot milk before going to sleep is a good idea? Why do I feel so sleepy after a big meal?

Find the answer to these and other questions! Read our article and find out how you can improve your sleep!

1. Can Bananas Make you Sleepy?

Yes, because the bananas are a food high in magnesium that has relaxing properties, for this reason, the bananas are perfect for those who practice sport: magnesium relaxes muscles and can help you to prevent cramps but doesn’t help you to stay awake and active!

2. Is a Good Idea a Glass of Hot Milk Before Going to Sleep?

It depends. Milk contains tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium which reduce muscle excitability and induce sleep, but on the other hand, drinking a glass of milk before bedtime might enable our digestive system which may be causing sleeping difficulty.

3. Why Do I Feel So Sleepy After a Big Meal?

Probably because the meal was rich in sugars and refined carbohydrates: these foods raise the blood sugar level that then drops down again causing a drop of energy when starting the digestion.

4. Can Cherries Help Me to Sleep Better?

Yes, because cherries are a natural source of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycles.

5. Why Do We Yawn?

It’s an involuntary movement dictated by our brain: according to a recent research, yawning helps the brain to “cool down” and to bring more oxygen.

6. Why Do We Count Sheep to Sleep?

This trick seems to originate from the Italian literature of the 13th century: it was narrated that Ezzelino III, a man who wanted to relieve his insomnia, hired a storyteller who helped him to fall asleep.

This storyteller, tired of inventing new stories every night, one evening began to tell about a Sheppard who had to cross a river with his flock but he could carry a sheep at a time across the river, starting with the first, then the second, the third, and so on…

You have surely often heard of white noises and their relaxing properties especially in the process of falling asleep.

But why are they defined as “white” noises and what is their calming effect about? Find out everything regarding white noises and therefor help your body and mind to rest better!

Why they are called “white noises”

Technically, a white noise is a sound whose amplitude is constant throughout the audible frequency range, which means the sum of all sounds, for this reason, by analogy with white color, which is the sum of all colors, it is defined as white noise.

Why do they have the power to make us fall asleep?

The power of white noises is to cancel all other noises, the so-called sound masking effect: the frequencies of “inconstant” noises such as traffic or a slamming door are therefore "masked" by white noises and our brain does not notice them any more.

Like a torch in a lighted room!

Imagine you’re in a dark room and you switch on a flashlight, you would immediately notice the ray of light. But what if the room were already fully illuminated? The sudden light of the torch wouldn’t even be noticed.

What are the best known white noises?

The sound of rain, the one of a switched on hair-drier or of waves at sea, the sound of a vacuum cleaner and a fan. Even the noise inside an airliner is considered to be a white noise.

Try listening to them yourself: download an app!

The easiest way to listen to these sounds is by looking them up on YouTube or by downloading the many apps for smartphones. You can also find white noise players on the market.

Sleep great on a bed system ideal for you!

Try out now the extraordinary effects of white noises, but remember that the first step for a good sleep is to choose a bed system suitable for you and your physical characteristics.

If your night's rest isn't so relaxing, try following our list of 12 simple everyday actions to be repeated starting from the moment you wake up until night.

Follow the list in chronological order as we have published it and immediately begin to rest better!

1. Open the windows

As soon as you wake up allow sunlight into the room so your body will understand that it is time to go into action!

2. Make the bed

Tidy up the bedroom after having it well aired out so when you get back to your room in the evening to go to sleep, it will be easier to relax in a perfect neat room.

3. Exercise

The best time to exercise is in the morning, but if you don't have enough time, even just a few simple stretching or yoga exercises will be enough. If you really can't in the morning, postpone physical activity to late afternoon at most.

4. Take a walk after lunch

Prolonged exposure to sun rays will help your body produce the right amount of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycle, as well as vitamin D.

5. Stop caffeine

Watch out also for carbonated drinks which may contain large amounts of caffeine.

6. Take a nap

But never more than 20 minutes!

7. Relax

Even just 15 minutes a day would be enough: listen to your favorite music, read a book,  practice meditation or phone your best friend! Do whatever makes you happy!

8. Light dinner

And stop eating at least three hours before going to sleep!

9. Turn down lights and volume

Begin to accustom your body to darkness: turn off as many lights as possible around the house and stop loud noises. Relaxing music or white noises are much better!

10. Have a hot bath

About an hour and a half before going to bed, treat yourself with a hot bath or a shower that will relax all your muscles.

11. Drink a cup of relaxing herbal tea

There are many types and tastes, learn more in this article!

12. Sleep in the dark

Even a small light such as the TV power light (which in any case shouldn't be placed in the bedroom) can affect the production of melatonin and spoil your rest!

Do you ever happen to spend hours in bed without being able to fall asleep with your head filled with thoughts?

Probably yes, as most of the adults nowadays! So find out how to "dominate" your mind thanks to the meditation techniques known as mindfulness!

What is Mindfulness?

It is a practice that traces its origins back to ancient Eastern meditation techniques that have been readapted to the Eastern world; it focuses on breathing and on the faculty of awareness on the present moment.

Mindfulness meditation keeps you stuck to the present, preventing your mind from wandering through thoughts and concerns about the future or the past.

The research by the "University of California"

According to an article published in 2015 by JAMA Internal Medicine, the sleep quality of a sample of people subject to the daily practice of mindfulness exercises has greatly improved.

The previous year was the University of Minnesota's turn, which reached the same conclusions after an 8-week study: the regular practice of mindfulness can help reduce sleep-related disorders.

Relax and enjoy the moment!

Meditation has amazing effects on our mind, this is why it can also be useful for improving your rest. Being able to free your mind from all the thoughts that daily torment you and finding a peaceful and healthy rest is the first step for a better lifestyle!

If you wish to find out more about mindfulness practices, you can find many online courses or some specialized centers.

It's time to sleep better!

Meditation, combined with a healthy lifestyle, will help you improve your rest, but don't forget to start from a good basis! Choose a quality bed system suitable for your needs and physical characteristics to immediately begin sleeping greatly!

Yes, because sleep is a necessity of our body, in fact, none of us can do without it. But sleep isn’t just this!

The virtues of sleep are really endless! Read on if you wish to know how to transform a necessity into an inexhaustible source of virtues!

More responsible and righteous

According to a study carried out by Harvard University, people who sleep less than 6 hours a night, frequently take wrong decisions and have a more dishonest behavior!

Smarter in school

It is scientifically proven that sleeping for the necessary time each night boosts our ability to learn and therefore also our academic and job performances!

More creative and intuitive

Especially in the deep sleep stage, the creative abilities of our brain improve: those who sleep well at night, therefore, will be able to solve everyday problems in a much more “creative” way!

More beautiful and younger!

During sleep hours our skin renews itself by producing new cells that replenish the losses caused by the formation of free radicals.

But don’t forget that your whole body is “renewed” every night: blood pressure lowers and stress decreases. It is scientifically proven that for people who suffer from insomnia, the risk of heart attack increases by 4 times!

Happier and more peaceful!

According to a research conducted by Columbia University in New York, people who sleep less than 5 hours a night are likely to suffer from depression in 70% of cases!

Leaner and fitter!

Another American study conducted by the University of Chicago has instead proven that people who sleep well every night have the ability to lose 55% of fat more compared to those who do not sleep well!

What are you waiting for?

Don’t wait to purchase your new bed system! Transform the “need” of sleep into your source of virtue!

We all love the summer, the holidays, the beautiful days and spending the evenings outdoors. But it is during summer months that our circadian rhythm is put to the test.

Find out what are the major risks for your rest and how to handle them for an amazing summer!

1. The heat

Temperatures rise and our ability to fall asleep decreases! Help yourself with a few tips: cotton sheets, a warm shower before bedtime and lots of water! And if you have air conditioning, switch it on but don’t overdo it!

2. The light

Summer days are longer and the shift to summer time upsets our natural rhythms even more: this is why in the evenings you should make your bedroom as dark as possible.

3. The noise

Long days and mild temperatures encourage us to spend a lot of time outdoors and therefore gardens, balconies and streets are crowded with people who sometimes don’t care about all those who strive to fall asleep in their homes.

Our body needs peace and quiet to rest well: close windows that overlook streets or gardens or use earplugs if necessary!

4. The holidays

Holidays should help us recharge and but we often get back more tired than before! This is because we tend to upset our night’s sleep rhythms. Try not to be too late in the evenings and wake up at the same time every morning also while you’re on vacation!

5. Allergies

Although spring is the toughest season for the millions of people who are allergic to pollen, also summer isn’t an easy period because of the various flowerings: keep windows closed and take a shower before going to sleep so you can wash away all the pollen that accumulates on skin and hair.

Enjoy your summer and sleep wonderfully!

According to a recent study, we look at our smartphone's screen about 144 times a day.

Reading emails, replying to messages, doing research on the Internet, playing games and scrolling through pictures are just some of the activities we do in front of our smartphone's screen every day! How can all this affect our sleep?

Bigger, brighter, bluer…

This is the name that the University of Surrey has given to its recent research regarding the effects that screens have on our rest and the results are certainly not among the best!

The study has in fact shown how the use of smartphones with their ever bigger, brighter screens and their blue light can disturb ocular sensitivity and also our circadian rhythm inhibiting the production of melatonin.

More light, less sleep

Melatonin is a substance secreted by our pineal gland which has the function to regulate the sleep-wake rhythm.

Our body starts to produce this substance when sunlight begins to decrease; but if we expose our bodies to strong sources of artificial light, melatonin is not produced in adequate amounts and our biological clock is compromised!

An hour less of sleep each night!

The ongoing use of smartphones and other electronic devices can reduce the production of melatonin up to 22% and thus the quality of our rest leading as far as to cases of insomnia!

Turn everything off an hour earlier!

Not only is it highly recommended not to take your smartphone into bed with you, but it would be even better to reduce your exposure to bright screens at least an hour before going to bed.

Improve the quality of your rest with the right bed system for you!

A lack of sleep can have insidious consequences on our body and this is why being able to rest well is essential for a healthy lifestyle.

Follow our tips on healthy sleep and choose a bed system that meets your physical features for a truly refreshing sleep!

Acid reflux is a very common and annoying disorder that keeps 1 person out of 5 awake each night.

Discover what can be 16 easy and effective ways to fight acid reflux and sleep great every night!

1. The Right Side

Sleep on your left side.

2. Keep in Shape

Keep an ideal healthy weight.

3. Up!

Sleep with an extra pillow or even better if you would use an adjustable bed base which you can regulate according to your needs.

4. Pajamas

Wear comfortable clothes that aren’t tight on your waist, both during the day and night.

5. Be aware of what you eat.

Avoid certain foods such as those containing caffeine or those that are too fatty and spicy; also alcohol is strongly not recommended in these cases.

6. At Evening...

Have only light dinners.

7. When Eating...

Try to relax, feeling stressed while you eat increases the production of gastric acid in the stomach.

8. How do you eat?

Eat slowly! If you aren’t able, use this small trick: rest your fork every time you swallow a bite and pick it back up when you’re done!

9. After Dinner...

Don’t lie down after eating, it would be better to have a stroll.

10. Work-Out

Wait at least 2 hours before you exercise after eating.

11. Chew!

Sometimes a chewing gum after eating can help; the production of saliva helps to clean the esophagus from acids!

12. No smoking

Because not only does smoke irritate the whole gastrointestinal tract, it also relaxes the esophagus muscles which avoid the reflux of stomach acids in the esophagus.

13. Tell the doctor!

Talk with your doctor if the problem doesn’t improve; in some cases the use of specific medicine might be necessary.

14. Relax

Relax with some music, yoga exercises or by reading a good book.

15. Be Aware!

If you have to bend over, use your knees but don’t bend your back: even this simple movement, if often repeated, can increase reflux symptoms.

16. The right choices!

Again, a healthy life style and a bed system which suits your physical features while being able to properly support you, are the keys to help you have a restful sleep each night.

It's time to sleep better!

Choose a quality bed system suitable for your needs and physical characteristics to immediately begin sleeping greatly!

Sleep is essential to our learning because while our body is resting, our mind continues to work, storing all information acquired during the day.

The mechanisms involved in all the mysterious processes of our brain haven't been fully understood yet, but according to some recent research, there are at least three things we can learn to do while we sleep! Find out now!

1. Learn foreign languages 

Unfortunately it is not yet possible to learn Chinese in a single night, but there's something we can do to improve our language skills.

A recent research carried out in Germany on 3 different groups of people showed that: all individuals were German students studying Dutch (therefore already exposed to the acquisition of the language). During the night, the first group went to sleep as usual, the second group listened to some words in Dutch during the early stages of sleep and the same words were given also to the third group but while they were still awake.

The group which remembered foreign words better the next morning was the second one!

2. Improve musical skills

Once again a group of people have been monitored, this time guitarists, even fledgling musicians, and they were asked to play a melody and then take a nap.

Without their knowledge, during the nap half of the individuals listened again to the melody previously played, the other half of them no.

When they woke up, they all played again and those who performed better were the ones who had listened to the melody while sleeping!

3. Treasure your best memories 

Our brain uses its own "labeling" system for memories: those tagged as "important" go directly to the part of our brain where long-term memory resides, while those "less important" are often swept away by new memories!
