Unfortunately, insomnia is a fairly common problem. We have more and more stimuli that keep us awake, and that means that it is increasingly difficult to fall asleep. The Swedish furniture company Ikea knows this reality, and, therefore, has published several tips for all those people who have this problem and it is affecting their lives.
And the fact is that when we are tired we perform much worse: we concentrate less at work, we are less willing to meet with our friends, we are in a worse mood… However, if you follow Ikea’s tips for better sleep to the letter, you can avoid the problem or, at least, reduce its negative consequences. We hope that what we tell you will help you to fight and finally defeat insomnia.
Ikea teaches you how to sleep better
The most basic for the Swedish furniture company is that the bedroom should have low light and be a cool and quiet place. This may contribute to generating that state of drowsiness so necessary to fall asleep as soon as possible, but obviously, it is not the only thing to take into account: there are many more factors that influence it. The first of these is the type of pillow: the more ergonomic and viscoelastic the better because in this way it will adapt perfectly to the shape of your head and absorb moisture well. Besides, this type of pillow recommended by Ikea always keeps the surface cool and pleasant to the touch.
The second most important factor for Ikea is the type of mattress you have. It can be made of viscoelastic or latex, but the most important thing is that you feel 100% comfortable sleeping on it, and that is why it is so important to try it before buying it. Another factor to consider for the Swedish company is bedding, i.e. blankets and comforters. For Ikea, the ideal is that these products should be made of soft and resistant materials, such as cotton. Finally, we would like to highlight a tip that you probably do not expect, and that is that the decoration of your bedroom can also be a good ally in your battle against insomnia. For example, a soft carpet or a decorative lamp with ambient lighting are elements that increase comfort, coziness and, ultimately, sleep.
