Whether the promise you’re making to yourself is any of the above or it’s something totally different, chances are you’re in need of a better night’s sleep. A restful night under the covers produces more good than any other one thing you may do. In order to function properly your body requires a period of rest.

Let’s look at a few New Year’s sleep resolutions that can add some zip to your life:

Sleep Resolution 1: I will go to bed at the same time every night, weekends included, and get out of bed at the same time every morning.

Do this and your circadian clock (a molecular timer responsible for keeping you on your daily sleep-wake cycles) will tick and tock like it’s brand new. Talk about getting better sleep health, this routine pays off. You’ll feel better enabling you to function better at work or at school.

Sleep Resolution 2: I will turn off the noise an hour or two before I go to bed each night. Noise poses as a stimulator.

When the Pirates of the Caribbean draw their swords and clang them around the ship, this level of noise keeps your senses in high gear. A stirring political debate on the news affects your senses, as well. Your body needs to go into its sleep cycle. Shutting down the noise around you in the evening before bedtime allows the hormone, melatonin, to do its work by making you sleepy.

“The synthesis and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light…levels of melatonin in the blood are highest prior to bedtime.”

Sleep Resolution 3: I will look into new products that help me attain better sleep health. The first on the list is making sure I have the right mattress for quality comfort and support.

The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Bozeman enjoy helping their guests find affordable beds to ensure better sleep health. The good doctors of sleep at Mattress King show you how you can sleep on the correct mattress that’s ideal for your unique body shape.

Mattress King offers the best in affordable beds, student beds and new products. The New Year should be all about better sleep health. Your body could be telling you this right now with that annoying stiff neck in the morning or those aching hips. If you’re still tired after you’re up and going in the mornings, then listen to your body. It’s no doubt giving you the aching shoulder which means you are ready for a new mattress!

Dive into the New Year with a new affordable bed. If your mattress is seven years old or older it’s probably time to talk with the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Bozeman. Every mattress has a life span, therefore, they do need to be replaced.

Should you experience a stiff neck in the morning, sore shoulders, a sore back or hips that ache, you may need to retire the mattress you’re sleeping on. It’s important, as well, to think about a new pillow especially if yours is older than a few years or if it’s smashed down so much that it’s a mere shadow of its former fluffiness.

While sleeping, your neck should be kept in alignment with your spine. A neck that’s kinked up on a pillow is prone for soreness. A sore or stiff neck may also be caused by sleeping with no pillow or one that’s so squashed that it has to be doubled over to give your head any support.

You spend one-third of your life in bed so doesn’t it make sense to assure yourself a good night’s rest? Good sleep health plays a major role in overall physical and mental health stability. Without good sleep health it’s difficult to function day after day. It’s even hard to remember things or even to learn new things.

Invest this season in yourself. See the good Doctors of Sleep at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman. They’ll talk with you about your specific sleep requirements, what affordable bed would best suit your unique body shape and they’ll address those aches and pains you may be dealing with.

Sleep Apnea, acid reflux and respiratory problems may be alleviated by an adjustable bed. Having your head raised while sleeping abates many of these types of issues. An adjustable bed can also help with blood circulation. See the Sleep Experts at Mattress King about adjustable beds and what they can offer you when it comes to attaining better sleep health.

Season’s Greetings and Good Sleepings to you and your loved ones from the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and from the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Bozeman. When it comes to affordable beds, pillows, adjustable beds and better sleep health, these good Doctors of Sleep step forward to help you, their guest, enjoy the brand New Year so much more than you ever dreamed possible.

This year winter begins at 7:11 a.m. on December 21. The big event only lasts for one second when the sun is at its greatest distance away but it gives us our longest night…around 13 hours or so.

This is the perfect time to make sure you’re sleeping on a bed that’s comfortable and supportive. Each and every night you should sleep on a mattress that supports the heavier parts of your body (head, shoulders and torso) so that your spine stays in alignment. Attaining and maintaining better sleep health calls for the right mattress for your individual body shape and having the right pillow under your head.

The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman elect to help every guest that comes through their doors get up close and personal with better sleep health. The Sleep Experts enjoy showing you which pillow fits your unique body, your preferred sleeping position and why a certain pillow is better for you over another. You just may discover that stiff neck you’ve been suffering with for too long disappears after finding the right pillow.

The aching hips that seem to get out of bed with you in the morning or the sore shoulder your bed partner complains about may disappear as well when you sleep on the right mattress that suits you and your bed partner’s needs.

The good Doctors of Sleep at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman know the specific styles of beds that can help alleviate the aches and pains you may have. The well-known Comfort Solutions bed could possibly be a sweet match for you.

A Comfort Solutions mattress gives you total support. It’s designed for sufficient spine support for people of all sizes and its pressure-relieving latex foam contours to your specific body shape.

You’ll fall asleep naturally and sleep undisturbed throughout the night as latex foam is allergy-free and latex foam allows minimal movement disturbance. Your bed partner can come to bed late or get up extra early and you’ll sleep right through it.

All Mattress King Sleep Experts look forward to helping you achieve better sleep health. They’ll show you affordable beds and pillows that will have you sleeping like a baby through the longest night of the year!

“Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when your breathing is partially obstructed in some way while you’re sleeping. Sometimes snoring may indicate a serious health condition.”

About half of all adults snore at some time or another. This annoying sound happens when air flows past the relaxed throat tissues causing these tissues to vibrate as you breathe. If snoring disturbs you or your partner there are a few lifestyles changes that can be made to help alleviate the problem.

According to the Mayo Clinic, some options are “losing weight, avoiding alcohol close to bedtime or sleeping on your side.” Medical devices and surgery are also options, if needed.

Good sleep health requires good bedtime habits. Go to bed at the same time every night, sleep in a cool room that allows some air flow and make sure your mattress suits your needs and your partner’s needs.

The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Bozeman know just how to help you when it comes to snoring or sleep apnea issues. A memory foam mattress like a Tempur-Pedic may be the type of bed you need. The Sleep-To-Live beds also offer memory foam, as well as, individual levels of firmness or softness on your side of the bed and on your partner’s side of the bed.

A restful night’s sleep governs how you feel and perform each day. Your mattress and pillow provide an extreme amount of good sleep health when they’re the correct ones for your unique body shape. This is one of the many reasons why memory foam beds like Tempur-Pedic and Sleep-To-Live compensate for those of us with snoring and even sleep apnea problems.

“Sleep Apnea is a debilitating and life-threatening ailment that’s estimated to affect 22 million Americans. Untreated it can lead to depression, heart disease, diabetes and fatal car crashes.” It’s a good idea to have yourself or your loved one checked by your health provider should you suspect sleep apnea.

Sometimes snoring or sleep apnea occurs when sleeping on your back. Try sleeping on your side as this may help tremendously. Remember to avoid consuming alcohol before bed to reduce or even eliminate any airway blockage.

Talk with the good Doctors of Sleep at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman to find out more about good sleep health. The Sleep Experts at Mattress King enjoy helping their guests discover what a restful night’s sleep is all about. They’re knowledgeable and they’re eager to help…it’s what they enjoy doing – helping you attain better sleep health.

“Your body needs to get ready for sleep,” says Sally A. White, PhD, dean and professor in the College of Education at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.”You want your heart rate and body temperature in a rest zone. It starts the body getting into a habit of sleep.”

Exercising or eating too late sabotages your body’s urge to sleep.

“Both exercise and eating raises your heart rate and temperature,” White tells WebMD. “That’s not conducive to sleeping.”

Find what works best for you when it comes time to exercise. Either a good routine in the morning starts your motor efficiently or a brisk walk at noon or after an early dinner can help keep you healthy. It’s the heart-pumping workout later in the evening that will keep you charged up, thereby making it hard to catch the zzz’s you need.

As mentioned above, eating too late isn’t a good plan, either, if you’re counting on attaining good sleep health. A light, early dinner is your best bet. The heavy meals you may consume during a night out may keep you wide-eyed into the wee morning hours.

Along with that heavy evening meal, you might just slip in an alcoholic beverage or two. This is the third thing you don’t want to do close to nighty-night time…imbibe. Why? Alcohol may tend to make you sleepy, but watch out for later – perhaps around 1 or 2 a.m. It’s almost guaranteed to wake you right up. It’s just the nature of the beast. Alcohol and the human body aren’t the best of partners, especially when you’re trying to entertain good sleep health.

Do you ever ask yourself why it’s so easy to sit at the computer until all hours of the night or keep watching those mindless TV shows until midnight? Both are stimulators that keep your mind busy. Remember, for better sleep health you want to reduce your heart rate in the evening and induce that urge to sleep. Get the melatonin working! Get yourself a good night’s rest!

Lastly, you don’t want to sleep on a bed that’s uncomfortable and doesn’t give your body correct support. “You should have enough room to stretch and turn comfortably. If you often wake up with a sore back or an aching neck you may need to invest in a new mattress or try a different pillow.”

If you wake up with aches and pains, then you’re probably due for a new mattress. The heavier parts of your body – head, shoulders and your torso/hips need good support. The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman know what type of bed will alleviate your aches and pains. They’ll work with you to help you sleep like a baby each and every night.

Your Mattress King Sleep Expert will show you the best mattresses for complete body support. Beds like Sleep-To-Live and Comfort Solutions will dissolve any sore neck or back pain. And your Mattress King Sleep Expert will also show you the correct size pillow your unique body requires for superb sleep health.

Let the good Doctors of Sleep at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman show you how to enjoy a better night’s sleep with Sleep-To-Live and Comfort Solutions!

The post 5 THINGS NOT TO DO RIGHT BEFORE BED… appeared first on Mattress King.

The pillow you lay your head upon each night is as important as the mattress you trust to support, cradle and comfort your body. Since your pillow supports your head, neck and spine, you need to make sure you’re sleeping on the right pillow. The wrong pillow causes some health issues that you may not be aware of.

One of the more common ailments you may experience by sleeping with the wrong pillow is a sore neck. When it hurts or is downright uncomfortable to turn your head side to side you may possibly be sleeping on a pillow that bends your neck either upward or downward. You want a pillow that keeps your neck level with your spine.

Lying on your back – if your pillow kinks your head up so that your chin points down to your chest this means your pillow is too high…perhaps too firm. The same goes for lying on your side. You should not have any curvature or bend in your neck. You want your head, neck and spine straight as a stick – no curves or bends. This allows you to attain better sleep health.

The Sleep Foundation notes that millions of Americans encounter sleep disorders that can be attributed to poor sleeping pillows. Should you suffer from sleep apnea and snoring, the right pillow can help you achieve a deeper sleep as you won’t be bothered by sleep disruptions caused by snore noise and apnea.

Other issues that distort your sleep health, like acid reflux, can be alleviated by the right pillow, as well. An incline pillow works wonders. Pillows like memory foam pillows support your head properly thereby alleviating any airflow problems or improper breathing issues.

The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and the Sleep Exerts at Mattress King in Bozeman can easily help you find the proper pillow that supports your head, neck and spine the way a pillow should. These good Doctors of Sleep know what to look for if you’re experiencing any neck issues or shoulder pain.

Believe it or not, it even makes a difference how much space is between your head and shoulder when lying on your side. The Sleep Experts can spot the right pillow from the wrong pillow. They’re eager to help you attain the best sleep health possible.

Pillows come in a wide variety from memory foam to latex foam to down feathers to alternative feathers to synthetic-filled. Pillows come in all sizes. Selecting the proper pillow depends largely on what you deem comfortable, however the most important factor in determining the right pillow is making sure your body stays in alignment when your head hits the pillow.

According to the Sleep Foundation, “More than nine out of ten respondents ranked pillows as an important element to getting a good night’s sleep.” They report that the average number of pillows people sleep with is two.

But how does losing weight help you sleep?

“A sleep-deprived body pumps out the hormone ghrelin, which makes you hungry, while decreasing the hormone leptin, which would otherwise tell you you’re full before polishing off that bag of chips. On the flip side, getting the sleep you need keeps these appetite hormones in check and helps prevent you from packing on the pounds. In fact, research consistently shows that catching quality z’s makes you slimmer.”

It makes sense when you think about it. Your body responds to the foods you eat – the same with sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep on a consistent basis rewards you with better health. As studies show it also keeps the weight down. That hunger-driven hormone ghrelin is kept at bay. The production of this hormone and the hormone leptin are influenced by how much or how little you sleep.

A rule of thumb is when your body is deprived of sleep these hunger hormones that control your appetite kick into high gear. This is why you sometimes feel like eating everything in sight after you’ve experienced a bad night’s sleep, yet nothing is satisfying.

Keeping your sleep habits in check helps you enjoy a fuller life. You won’t feel blah or drug out all the time. It’s a good idea to check your mattress and pillow, too. If your mattress is over seven years old or you’re feeling some aches and pains or a sore neck in the mornings, this is usually a sign you’re in need of a new mattress or a different pillow.

The Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings and at Mattress King in Bozeman welcome any and all questions on acquiring better sleep health. They’re always available to show you how to enjoy a better night’s rest.

Mattress King Sleep Experts will show you the health benefits offered by memory foam beds like Tempur-Pedic. The most doctor-recommended bed in America – Tempur-Pedic, is a bed that the Good Doctors of Sleep at Mattress King love to talk about.  Let them share the many health benefits this bed offers.

Good sleep health should be as important to you as it is to the Sleep Experts at Mattress King. If you’d like to lose weight to help you sleep then by all means come into Mattress King in Billings or Mattress King in Bozeman to find out more.

Ask them about the other benefits of losing weight and how it can alleviate snoring and sleep apnea. Slimming down can help you attain better sleep health giving you a richer and fuller life.

For starters, you need to get a grip on your schedule. Set aside enough time to study properly for each exam and don’t bother procrastinating. Putting off study time for a big test that you know is going to happen really isn’t what you want to do or should do. If you plan your work and then work your plan, you’ll breeze through those end-of-the-year tests.

This leaves you time to get in the zzz’s your body needs. Going without sleep and cramming all that stuff into your head might not pay off. “Not getting enough sleep in college can actually cost you more time in the long run. Your brain will run slower, you’ll be more likely to get sick, you’ll be less able to handle stress, and –oh yeah – you’ll be super tired all the time.”

Your brain will run slower? Hmmm, this may not be a good thing. It’s a better idea to have a plan for study time so that you can actually go to bed and sleep. Sleep recharges your brain, your metabolism and everything else in that one special unique body of yours!

You need a good night’s sleep each and every night so you keep up with the learning process. Maintaining excellent sleep health is what pays off. So, how do you get it?

A quality student bed with a quality memory foam mattress attracts some well-deserved shut-eye time. There’s no more tossing and turning – it’s lights out on a memory foam mattress.

Talk with one of the Sleep Experts at Mattress King in Billings or at Mattress King in Bozeman about student beds, memory foam mattresses and even adjustable beds. These savvy Sleep Experts passed their finals and are doing what they love…helping others achieve a good night’s rest so they can reap the rewards of that good sleep health we’re talking about.

Instead of hyperventilating or just plain stressing out over finals week, plan it out and make sure you schedule in your ideal seven to eight hours of sleep per night. “Sleep deprivation leads to things like memory loss, inability to concentrate, headaches and increased stress levels, all of which are things you most definitely want to avoid during finals week! And whatever you do, don’t pull an all-nighter.”

Enjoy your college time including taking these higher-learning exams. It’s all part of what you must do to continue on. Just be smart about it and know that you’ll get through it. Plan your schedule and remember to sleep in a comfortable bed that supports your spine and the heavier parts of your body.
