How Sleep Can Help You Achieve Your New Year's Resolution

We’ve all heard the phrase ‘new year, new me’ but how many of us actually stick with this? You’re probably reading this knowing you’ve done it in the past but why did you quit? We all would like to make improvements to our lives in some way or another and we’re no different. Resolutions come and go but it’s important to stick to them, not only can you improve your mood but you’ll also feel more confident.
 
We’re here to tell you how getting a good night sleep can help you stick to your resolutions. Don’t let the stress and pressure get to you, dream away and let sleep work its magic.

Work

Sleep affects our thoughts and the way we work, whether it be decision making, memory ability or even sociability, all these and more are required at work and without a good sleep you can struggle to manage them all. We’ve all been there, heading into work after an awful night sleep and being irritable. It can cause stress, make you struggle to complete tasks and result in low productivity.
 
Sleep not only gives you the energy to get through the day, it also gives you the power to be productive and manage all of your other tasks such as socialising with colleagues and remembering important tasks. Without sleep, you’re unlikely to reach your full productive potential..

Diet

The science behind sleep and eating habits is often overlooked but it is important if you’re going to be dieting. We eat to gain energy and if we don’t sleep well we’re going to replace the energy lost from lack of sleep with extra food, and we know how that goes. When you get a bad night sleep you start the day on the back foot and it can get worse from there. Our bodies are smart enough to crave the wrong types of foods in this situation in order to get the energy it needs. This can result in snacking, bigger portions and burn outs. This means you’ll feel more lethargic and won’t be able to function properly for most of the day.
 
You can see how this could spiral out of control if you then struggle to sleep the next night. That’s where we come in to help you get the best night sleep, every night. Our iron beds and mattresses are handcrafted with you in mind, exceptional levels of comfort and unbeatable style, we have it all.

Exercise

As exercising goes hand in hand with dieting it’s even more important to get a good night sleep. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can lead to a great lifestyle but if you’re still struggling to get a good night sleep, you won’t see all the benefits of the hard work you’re putting in at the gym or at home in the kitchen.
 
Research has been carried out and it’s been proven that the amount of sleep we get on a night impacts the amount of exercise we can do the next day, fancy that. Exercise at the right time and you’ll be able to enjoy a great night sleep, just with the added achiness in the morning from all the work you’ve put in!

We’re all for resolutions and bettering ourselves but it’s important to look after yourself. Sleep really is the foundation of everything and getting a decent night sleep should be your main resolution for 2018. We’re to help you achieve your goals by offering you the best sleep you’ve ever had. Check out our beds and discover how we can help you change your life.
