Bedding for Beauty Sleep
Bedding may not be at the top of your list when you're trying to get into a healthier lifestyle. In fact, you might think spending money on the gym or on organic fruit and vegetables makes more sense than buying luxury bedding. But bedding and quality sleep is crucial for well being and health; sleep can impact on how we age and can even impact on our weight.
Bedding - Sleep your way to Fitness
Quality bedding is important for a good night's sleep. If you're too hot, or too cold, or uncomfortable, you're increasing your chances of waking and experiencing disturbed sleep patterns. It could be something as simple as buying comfortable, cool bedding such as Egyptian cotton or satin sheets, or you may have to look deeper and examine underlying stress or anxiety that could be keeping you awake. But it's important to address the problem if you are suffering from poor sleep patterns.
Restful Sleep the Key to Weight Loss
Research shows that as well as investing in diet plans, gym memberships and anti-ageing creams, you may want to think about investing in comfortable bedding. A good night's rest is not called 'beauty sleep' for nothing. Studies have shown that those who sleep well have a better ability to lose weight and to keep it off. Disrupted sleep can accelerate the ageing process and your metabolism.
Making an effort to improve your bedding and sleeping habits then can help your body rejuvenate effectively, impacting on overall well being.
Sleep Reduces Stress Hormone
Investing in quality bedding and a sound bedtime routine to help ensure you sleep well can in turn help control the stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol increases in our bodies as a result of poor sleep and cortisol controls our appetites, making us yearn for comfort food even if we have eaten enough. It's thought it also increases your belly fat, as cortisol raises insulin levels and fatty deposits around the stomach. The stress hormone also disrupts sleep when we do finally get to sleep, creating a viscous circle. Investing in quality bedding and examining our sleep routines can help. A link between abdominal fat and shift work that disrupts sleep has been made in a study in the International Journal of Obesity. And in turn, this can impact on heart health and cardiovascular disease.
And so, as well as the gym, healthy diets and reducing stress in your life, investing in bedding and examining sleep routines could be crucial if you're trying to lose weight and stay healthy.
