A guide to better sleep during winter days

“It’s late at night.” And your day is over.

You settled into your bed for a long winter’s sleep.

But you turn around on the bed. Your brain processes a lot of information and thoughts.

“I’m awake! Ugh! What happened?!”

It was hard to sleep. There must be a reason.”

It turns out that your problems may be caused by the seasons.

Like it or not, the changing seasons affect your sleep. Now that winter is here, you have new challenges to face. Here’s a quick guide to some of the factors that can disrupt sleep during the winter and what you can do to improve your sleep.

Throughout December, we are surrounded by delicious food and delicious drinks. Changes in your eating habits during the holidays, such as eating later than usual or consuming extra caffeine during the day, can disrupt your sleep with heartburn, indigestion, insomnia, or just a few extra trips to the bathroom during the night.

Alcohol relaxes your muscles, including those in your mouth and throat, which can compromise your airways.

Tip: To avoid insomnia and heartburn, pay attention to what and when you eat. Try to limit caffeine, alcohol or heavy meals.

Cold air is drier air. Dry air leads to chapped lips, itchy skin, scratchy throat and dry nose. At best, these uncomfortable conditions can annoy you when you’re in bed trying to fall asleep. At worst, they leave you vulnerable to colds and infections. And we all know how hard it is to sleep soundly when we’re sick.

Tip: Try using a humidifier in the bedroom to keep your nasal passages moist. Drink plenty of fluids. Shower with warm, not hot, water and apply lotion immediately after toweling off to lock in the moisture on your skin.

Melatonin is a sleep-inducing hormone produced by your brain in response to darkness. Gloomier days and earlier sunsets in winter can trigger the release of melatonin during the day, leaving you feeling tired in the morning and tired by mid-afternoon.

Tip: Regulate your melatonin and your internal clock by getting plenty of daylight during the winter. Sit by the window right after you wake up. Take a walk after lunch.

The comfort of the bed is of great importance for a good night’s sleep. With that, we can conclude that mattresses, as a sleeping pad, are much more important than the appearance, size or type of the bed itself.

You yourself know how difficult it is to make the right choice of bed on which you will rest well. Especially if you have experienced what it’s like to sleep on a warped and dented mattress. The company “Andrijašević” has been dealing with overcoming such problems for many years.

We hope that visiting our online store will make your way to the right mattress easier.
