Get that good night’s sleep

-

Quality sleep not only improves one’s health but also uplifts the mood.

Quality sleep isn’t only good for one’s health but also uplifts the mood. It helps reduce stress, improves your attention and concentrat­ion, takes care of your emotional well-being, and can help improve your memory. At the same time, it is said to keep your heart healthy, strengthen your immune system, lower your blood pressure, reduce your chances of diabetes, and help you maintain your weight.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, recommends that adults should get at least seven hours of sleep each night. And you’ll be surprised how having the right beddings and line can contribute to a good night’s sleep.

Celebratin­g the joys of sleeping is SM Home, which has an ongoing Mattress and Linen Sale till 28 February. Get some new beddings and accessorie­s for better sleeping days ahead. Meanwhile, here are some tips from SM Home on what to keep in mind when you avail yourself of the store’s shopping treat this week.

Check the thread count. Look for thread counts that are between 200 and 400, which will feel smooth, soft and breathable for a good night’s sleep.

Quality matters. Choose quality material for bed covers. Cottonandb­ambooareor­ganicmater­ialsthatar­ebreathabl­e, anti-microbial and eco-friendly for a sustainabl­e lifestyle.

Put some good pressure on. Opt for Weighted Blanket as it has a therapeuti­c benefit that has a deep pressure stimulatio­n to relieve pain, lessen anxiety and improve mood.

Mattresses are not forever. Do not forget to update your mattress every five to eight years. This helps to alleviate tension at the back and prevent aches and pains.

Keep bedwear clean. Wash them in warm water at least once a week for hygiene purposes. Use gentle laundry detergent if you have allergies. Also, change your type of bedding in season. Microfiber beddings are best for cold weather while opt for cotton sheets on summer.

Shoppers can now also place their orders online through The SM Store’s Call to Deliver and ShopSM app. For more info and updates, SM Home at the SM Store in Instagram or visit thesmstore. com website.
