The Importance of a Good Night's Sleep

At Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, sleep is our business.  After all, we do have "slumber" in our name!  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks wants to make sure that all of our customers realize just how important a good night's sleep is to a productive and healthy life, and exactly how they can get this.  

People generally spend about 1/3 of their life sleeping.  Lack of sleep can affect every part of your life.  Fatigue will make you cranky, confuse you, and possibly even make you sick.  If you don't take care of the problem, it could lead to illness such as heart attacks and strokes, irregular blood pressure, and increase your risk for diabetes.  Your brain won't be able to function correctly and this will affect your memory.  



Here are some great tips to help you sleep better, making you feel better, and lending to a much happier life.  

Turn your bedroom into a peaceful retreat.

Clutter causes restlessness.  Keep your bedroom tidied up at all times.  An ideal temperature for sleep is around 67 degrees.  Grab a blanket if that is a bit chilly for you.  Any light can make it difficult to fall asleep.  Blackout drapes are ideal for keeping the room dark.  Sleep masks can also be very helpful.    

The mattress makes a difference.  

Your mattress should support not only your body type, but also your sleep situation. Slumberland Furniture's mattresses come in a wide variety of sizes and styles.  A mattress that you have been using for 10 years or more is ready to be replaced.  If you wake up feeling stiff, numb, or achy (or if you cannot sleep for these reasons) then your mattress is not right for you.  A brand new mattress can open up a whole new world of comfort and peaceful rest. 

Set a sleep schedule and stick to it.  

This is sometimes easier said than done, but it is an important step in forming good sleep habits.  The ideal hours for sleep are between 10 pm & 6 am.  This isn't set in stone, but you really should shoot for a full 8 hours at some point during the night. Forcing yourself to go to be at the same time each evening and getting up with your alarm (stop hitting that snooze button!) will soon put you in a healthy routine and improve your sleep.  

Watch what you eat.

Your diet can affect everything in your life, just like a lack of sleep will.  These food tips can help you to get a good night's sleep.

• Don't go to bed hungry, but don't be too full either.  Stop eating at least 2-3 hours before your bedtime.
• If you are having trouble sleeping, you should not drink any caffeine after noon.
• Avoid alcohol right before bed.  It may make you drowsy, but it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Following this advice can greatly improve the amount of restful sleep that you get every night.  Once you achieve this, you will notice a dramatic difference in the quality of your daily life.  Stop by our Lake of the Ozarks mattress store soon and let us show you the variety of styles that Slumberland Furniture has to offer.  You will be surprised at all of the choices.  We will work with you to find the perfect mattress for the best night of sleep.  

It's a good life!
