National Bed Month - March 2023

Join us for the annual awareness campaign to promote the importance of a good, supportive and comfortable bed; how it plays a huge part in getting a healthy night’s sleep. The theme is Wake Up on the Right Side, with the Right Bed alongside the hashtag #RightSideOfTheBed.
Sleeping on, and taking care of a comfortable, supportive bed plays a crucial part in achieving a restorative night’s sleep, which has huge benefits to our physical and mental wellbeing – helping us to wake up on the right side of the bed in the morning.
Here at Now to Bed we are proud to only supply NBF approved Beds from the host of top brand beds in the marketplace. Names such as Harrison Spinks, Hypnos, Relyon, Dunlopillo, Sleepeezee and many more.
The Do's and Don'ts of Sleep
- Do Consider cutting back on caffeine - it affects us all differently, so if you're sensitive to it avoid 8 hours before bedtime
- Do make sure the bedroom is cool, dark and quiet - and features a comfortable, supportive bed
- Do say no to the electronics before bedtime - put away phones, tablets, gaming devices and switch off TVs as the blue light hinders melatonin production
- Do get out into natural light as soon as possible in the morning - it helps to reset your internal body clock and makes you more alert
- Do keep a regular bedtime and wake time where possible - it helps to strengthen your circadian rhythm, and programme your body to sleep better
- Don't Go to bed unless you feel sleepy - you cannot force yourself to sleep, so go to bed when you feel tired
- Don't Watch the Clock - it can increase anxiety levels when you just can't fall asleep
- Don't go to bed full, hungry or thirsty - eat healthy food, at regular times and stay hydrated
- Don't exercise just before bed - exercise is great for sleep, but avoid 1 hours before bedtime
- Don't Use alcohol as a sleep aid - although it is a sedative, it has an impact on the quality and quantity of your sleep
