The Importance of Quality Sleep for National Sleep Awareness Month

At Slumber Solutions, we’ve been helping Americans get a better night’s sleep for many years. As a leading mattress retailer, we understand just how crucial quality sleep is for overall health and wellbeing. That’s why this March, for National Sleep Awareness Month, we want to emphasize the importance of making sleep a priority.

Sleep plays a vital role in our physical and mental health. It allows our bodies to repair and regenerate cells, process information from the day, and recharge for tomorrow. When we don’t get enough quality sleep, it can negatively impact nearly every aspect of our lives, from our mood and cognitive abilities to our relationships and job performance.

Unfortunately, millions of Americans are sleep deprived. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in three adults don’t get the recommended seven or more hours of sleep per night. This chronic sleep deprivation is considered a public health epidemic, as it leads to an increased risk of numerous health issues like obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression.

So what can you do to improve your sleep habits and overall sleep quality?

Here are some tips from our sleep experts at Slumber Solutions:

1. Upgrade your mattress: An old, unsupportive mattress can significantly disrupt your sleep. We recommend replacing your mattress every 7-10 years to ensure you’re getting the comfort and support you need. Our sleep specialists can help you find the perfect mattress for your body type and sleeping position.
2. Follow a consistent sleep schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body’s internal clock for better sleep.
3. Create a sleep-friendly environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains, a sound machine, or earplugs to minimize external disruptions.
4. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine: Engage in calming activities like reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing light stretches before bed to help you wind down.
5. Limit screen time before bed: The blue light emitted from electronics like TVs, computers, and smartphones can suppress melatonin production and make it harder to fall asleep.
