Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>By now, we already know that getting enough quality sleep greatly benefits our health and well-being. But during the festive season, we may find ourselves in situations where our sleep routines are compromised. This could be because you have family staying over, or perhaps you\u2019re travelling a lot and not sleeping in your own bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Restonic SA, we talk about making sleep your superpower because sleep has the power to affect \u2013 and improve \u2013 every area of our lives,\u201d says Dale Harley, sales and marketing executive at Restonic, in a press statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy ensuring you and your family get sufficient sleep during the festive season, you can maximise the smiles and minimise grumpiness.<\/p>\n

\u201d Below, the Restonic team shares a few tips to help you prioritise sleep this festive season.<\/p>\n

Good sleep while hosting guests If you have friends and family staying over, start by figuring out the sleeping arrangements. And then, try to put yourself in your guests\u2019 shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpend a night in your spare room to understand what your guests will experience,\u201d advises Harley.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to know if the mattress is sagging or the sheets are scratchy unless you\u2019ve slept there yourself. Mattresses need replacing every seven years or so.<\/p>\n

Also, look at things like whether the curtains or the blinds block out enough light and whether you can make the space more comfortable by adding a fan, extra pillows or better bedside lighting.
\nOnce your guests are sorted, spend time assessing your own bedroom, turning it into a sanctuary where you can find rest when you need to take a break from hosting.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake the time to make it feel restful and cosy, to check your bed is still meeting your needs, and intentionally enjoy the time you spend there.<\/p>\n

This will help you to protect your sanity when your home starts to feel a bit crowded,\u201d says Harley. Sleeping while travelling Many people have poor sleep when travelling due to something known as the \u201cfirst night effect\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is because when you\u2019re in a new environment, your brain is naturally more alert. But there are things you can do to make your sleep more peaceful while travelling.<\/p>\n

Planning is essential here. Ensure you\u2019re well rested before your trip \u2013 don\u2019t compromise your sleep the night before, hoping to make up for it during a flight.<\/p>\n

Resting is especially important if you\u2019re taking a long drive. Getting quality sleep the night before a trip can help get things off to a good start the next day.<\/p>\n

If you want to sleep on a plane or as a passenger in a car, take a comfortable travel pillow and consider getting noise-cancelling headphones to help create a relaxing environment. If you\u2019re travelling internationally (across multiple time zones), shifting your bedtime leading up to your trip may be helpful to prep your body.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get to your destination, try to shift your internal body clock by making the most of sunshine during the day and blocking out any light in the room you\u2019re sleeping in at night,\u201d says Harley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis helps to maintain healthy circadian rhythms \u2013 the cycle that controls your waking and sleeping.<\/p>\n

\u201d Set yourself up for good sleep Make sure the room you\u2019re staying in is not too hot, as this could disrupt your sleep. When travelling, take your pillow with you, if possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is it familiar, but if you have a good pillow, it will provide the right comfort and support, allowing you to get a better night\u2019s sleep,\u201d says Harley.<\/p>\n
