We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, so why not make it the best quality rest possible? If you're struggling to get a good night’s sleep, @TheSleepCharity has some simple yet effective tips to help you wake up refreshed every morning. Start your journey to better sleep this #NationalBedMonth!

A comfy, supportive mattress is key, but there’s more you can do to improve your sleep:
✔️ Only head to bed when you’re truly sleepy—forcing it won’t help.
✔️ Skip the nightcap—alcohol may seem like a sleep aid, but it actually disrupts your rest.

How well did you sleep last night? If you’re tossing and turning, @TheSleepCharity has got you covered with expert dos and don’ts for quality sleep.

Things to avoid before bed:
❌ Using alcohol as a sleep aid
❌ Exercising right before bed
❌ Going to bed overly full, hungry, or thirsty
❌ Clock-watching
❌ Lying in bed when you’re not sleepy

Sleep-friendly habits to adopt:

✅ Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up schedule

✅Get natural light first thing in the morning

✅Unplug from electronics before bed

✅Keep your room cool, dark, and comfortable

And remember—a bad mattress can steal your precious Zzzs! #NationalBedMonth

Getting a good, refreshing night's sleep on a comfortable, supportive bed means you'll look, feel, perform and concentrate BETTER.

Top Tips Before Buying Your New Bed

  • Do your research – Check reviews online, visit stores, and ask friends and family for recommendations.
  • Try before you buy – If purchasing in-store, test it out. If buying online, look for free comfort trials.
  • Invest in quality – We spend a third of our lives asleep, so invest in a good bed like you would other home essentials.
