January gets most people thinking about what they want to do better than last year. The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks can guarantee you that getting a good quality night's sleep is one of the best New Year's resolutions that you will ever make.  Slumberland Furniture is an expert when it comes to sleep, and the following tips will help you to improve your own.  The result will be a life that is more productive, energized, and healthier.   

Get comfortable.

One very important key to getting a quality night's sleep is your mattress.  If you wake up stiff, numb, or achy often, or if your mattress is more than 10 years old, it's time for a new one.  When mattress shopping, bring along your favorite pillow and try out the mattresses that you are interested in.  The perfect one should offer proper back and body support for your sleep style.       

Calm your senses.

You get a much better night's sleep if the room is cool.  A temperature of about 67 degrees is ideal.  The darker the room the better.  Blackout curtains or a sleep mask can help with this.  Certain calming scents, such as lavender, can help lull you into slumber too.  

Unplug

Checking your cell phone or watching TV before bad is a habit that you should try to break.  Digital screens can cause your body to want to stay awake.  Turn all electronics off at least 2 hours before you plan to go to sleep to give your mind and body time to wind down.  

Watch your food and drink intake.

You should also do your best to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, but don't go to bed hungry either.  If you must eat, have a light snack like a banana or a bowl of cereal.  Avoid alcohol before sleeping.  It may make you drowsy, but it may affect the quality of your sleep.  Caffeine intake can cause a lot of people to stay awake.  If that is you, try not to have any after noon.

Beware long naps.

Sleeping too much during the day can cause you to have trouble sleeping through the night.  Naps are most helpful if you limit them to 20-30 minutes and take them early in the day.  

Develop a routine.

Doing the same thing every night before you go to bed develops a routine, cuing the body that it is time to sleep.  If you need help winding down from the day's activities, good things to add to your routine are writing in a journal, meditating, or reading.  

All of these tips will aid you in reaching a full night of deep, restful sleep.  The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks believes that getting a good night's sleep is a wise New Year's resolution to make, and an extremely important one to keep.
