SLEEP is one of the eight elements of THE WHOLESTIC METHOD program.
If you want to repair, recover and improve detoxification – we need to make SLEEP a priority. Now we have shared many “biohacks” to improve your sleep – tips how to prepare for quality sleep.
We know how quality sleep will help overall health, performance, focus, energy levels and mood but how can we improve our sleep?
One method is the bed that you are sleeping on each night for 7-9 hours! The problem is that we don’t stop doing something and we don’t know how not to do anything! How do we quiet the mind and be still?
In order to fall asleep, we need to learn how to reset and recalibrate before bed. If we stop, pause and reboot the system before bed with our various “biohacks” we discuss on my blog, book and podcast, so we can shift to the “rest and repair” nervous system – then perhaps we can improve our sleep.
But what if you mattress is old and you have bad pillows? What if you can’t get comfortable even if you did your pre-bed relaxation and breathing exercises?
ARE YOU GETTING THE BENEFITS OF SLEEP?
I started to learn more about the benefits of using a “Recovr Mattress” for a better quality sleep as I need it! I take my sleep seriously as you may have learned WHY in my personal story LIFE IS NOT A RACE (on Amazon).
SLEEP is essential part of our stress management system, recovery and repair.
We are rushing all day long and to re-train ourselves how to slow down before bed is key as well as the many other tips as avoiding blue light, sleeping in cool dark room and doing meditation or breathing exercises to help shift us into parasympathetic nervous system.
Sleeping on a bad pillow and mattress can ruin all the “biohacks” you did to help improve your quality of sleep.
All of these popular “biohacks” we read about or head on podcasts are not always affordable- especially a new mattress. (Listen to our recent podcast on SLEEP here.)
We just started mattress shopping in the summer and found the ones we really wanted were around $4000–$5000 (Sleep Number and Temperpedic). The Recovr Mattress was more in our price range.
If you were to buy this exact mattress from a brick and mortar mattress store, you would pay as much as 3 times what you can buy from this special they are offering our podcast listeners.
HOW CAN WE TRAIN FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP?
Exercise is important to help your body feel ready for sleep, and even just taking a walk can get your blood moving and improve your sleep. It’s best to complete your workouts at least 2 hours before you go to bed so your body is ready to rest.
The type of Mattress you sleep on does matter…
Your bed plays one of the biggest roles in determining how long and how well you sleep.
Your mattress and pillow have to be up to snuff for you to slumber well.
Your bed and your body naturally change over time (they’re both aging!), so if your mattress is seven years or older, it’s probably time to replace it.
Older mattresses do not provide the support you need for restful sleep and need to be replaced. Making this one improvement can unlock nights of blissful sleep.
Your pillows should also be replaced regularly once a year to make sure you are getting proper support for your neck and spine.
