It is true to say that we enjoy mostly warm weather here in Australia and we are quite lucky for that. There are certain times of the year however when the temperature does drop and we need to put things into place to not only keep ourselves warm but keep our family members snug and cosy as well. A good night’s sleep is essential if you are to enjoy good health outcomes and everyone should be aiming to get at least one hour of deep sleep every single evening and some REM sleep as well. Wanting to get a good night’s sleep and actually getting a good night’s sleep are two completely separate things and when we close our eyes last thing at night, the last thing that we want is to have poor sleep patterns.
If you haven’t done so already then you need to change out what you currently put on your bed and opt for some quality quilt covers. When you slip into bed at night, the last thing that you want to be worrying about is whether or not what you have in your bed will keep you warm and at least you are guaranteed warmth when you have your quilt on top of you. This is just one top tip to help keep everyone warm in your home and the following are others.
- Invest in a water bottle – You will probably have to be reminded here but this was the bottle that your parents filled up with hot water and slipped it into your bed just under your quilt when you were young. It meant that many of you got into your bed so that you could get up early for school the following morning, and the bed was already warm and it was a wonderful feeling to enjoy. It’s time to resurrect this tried and tested method of keeping you warm and the best part is that they are incredibly affordable.
- Invest in a pair of PJ’s – It is true that you just go to bed in your underwear most of the year but when it starts to get a little bit cold, it might be time to invest in a pair of quality woollen pyjamas. Some of the choices out there when it comes to PJ’s can be quite poor but if you look around you will find a pair that will match your fashion needs while also being practical as well.
- Enjoy a warm cup of milk – Not only will this warm you up before bedtime but is also proven itself to be a great way to get to sleep quickly once your head hits the pillow. Milk is known to soothe the stomach and it helps your digestive processes as well. Any warm drink will do but avoid anything with caffeine.
Hopefully these tips to help you get a better night’s sleep, so that you are well rested and ready for the day ahead.
