TIPS TO BEAT THE HEAT WHEN IT'S TOO HOT TO SLEEP

Hot sunny summer days are difficult to deal with. When you sit in the car, you can feel the temperature of your steering wheel ranging from molten lava to the sun's surface. You start sweating even if you are just sitting. There's nothing more unpleasant than sweating through all those summer weddings. For hot sleepers, summer can also induce sleep insomnia. They constantly feel hot at night while sleeping. They wake up many times in the night sweating or feeling uneasy. It may result in bouts of insomnia and could be harmful to physical health and well-being. 

Why people are unable to sleep in Summer? 

The common complaint is that they can't get good rest when it's too hot to sleep. Long daylight hours and humid temperatures make it difficult to sleep in summer.

Melatonin releases a signal to your body to rest. In summer, due to the long daytime, the secretion of melatonin is less. So, we sleep a little late and wake up early in summer. 

Due to longer daytime, we tend be more active. We travel, go on adventures and family vacations. This results in increased intake of high-calorie food till late at night. The sleeping pattern gets adversely affected and one wakes up with drowsy eyes in the morning. 

Higher temperatures in summer can be the reason for sleep disruption as we can sweat more at night. When the body temperature increases, it comes out of the relaxed state. Our subconscious mind gives the signal and we wake up.

These are the most common reasons for sleep disruption specifically during the hottest time of the year. But there are easy ways to beat the heat.

How can you easily fall asleep in Summer?

Keep hot air out of the bedroom.

Make sure you draw the curtains or shades in the morning and don't open them until bedtime. Keeping the sunlight out of your bedroom can help you get it to a cool temperature when you are heading to bed. You can go for blackout curtains, which block all outside light.

Develop good sleeping habits.

There are many ways to relax your mind for better sleep, especially when it is too hot to sleep. You can write a gratitude journal, do some easy stretching exercises, wear loose comfortable cotton clothes, go for a walk before bed, incorporate some relaxation practices like meditation in your day, etc. You just need to calm your mind before you sleep. 

Avoid exercising close to your bedtime.

 Exercise during the day can improve sleep quality, as it expends energy and makes you feel more tired in the evenings. However, exercising before bedtime can drive your body temperature to spike. This can adversely affect your sleep routine and you won't be able to sleep at the desired time.

Take a shower before going to bed.

Taking a hot shower before bedtime makes you calm and relaxed. It helps to lower your body temperature naturally to help you sleep quickly.

Keep your bedroom Cool.

Maintain the room's temperature between 60-65 Fahrenheit. In the late evenings let the fresh air into your bedroom. You can also keep windows open if it's safe to do so. Use a rotating fan for better air circulation in your bedroom. Also, invest in good bedding for summers. 

Are you a hot sleeper? Finding solutions for a peaceful good night’s sleep?

We have solutions for you too.

Wear cool, light, and loose pajamas. Silk is comfortable but it sticks to your body when you sweat. So, go for cotton nightwear.

You can keep your sheets in the freezer for a while and put them on your bed before sleeping. They will be cool when you are ready to go to bed.

Set up a box fan near your bed. It will keep hot air out of the room. Keep its direction towards you. You can also put a bowl of ice behind it.

Choose your pillow wisely. If your neck or head gets overheated, it causes sleep disruption. Hence, if you are a hot sleeper you will need a breathable pillow material & cases. Opt for soft, sweat-wicking, and cool cotton pillow cases.  

Think of these options and follow whichever suits you. In the end, you should get good sleep at night as it's crucial for fresh, good mood in the mornings.

Overall, selecting the perfect bedding for Summer to ensure comfortable and restful sleep is as important as other factors.

How to select your best summer bedding?

The breathability of sheets and pillowcases made from natural fibers like cotton or linen is greater than those made of polyester and other synthetic fibers.

Cotton is lightweight and breathable, which makes it perfect for year-round use. It's also durable, which means it will hold up over time and keep its shape better than other fabrics. The best part of all? Cotton can be found in almost any color, from bright yellows to deep reds. So, they are considered as one of the best beddings for summer.

Understanding the thread count of sheets is necessary for comfort on the bed. 400 thread count sheets are soft and lightweight & suitable for summer. 600 thread count sheets retain smooth texture. They also strike the right balance between warmth & breathability. 800 thread count sheets are thick & have a plush feel. These sheets are crisp & pristine. 1000 thread count sheets are luxuriously thick. They withstand many wash cycles and still, remain soft & opulent. You can opt for sheets with different thread counts as per your preference. 

Want to know more about thread counts? Read the blog here.

The color of your bedroom is a major component of the overall mood. You can use this to your advantage by choosing cool colors, which are more relaxing and calming than warm ones. Cooler shades will work well in bedrooms because they don’t make you feel hot or sweaty while sleeping, which is especially important when it comes to summertime heat waves.

If you're looking to add a little more style to your bed, consider buying a special summer flat sheet made of cotton. It can be used for many things: as a thin blanket or protective layer between you and your comforter; or even as an accent piece in an otherwise plain room.

If you want to go with a lightweight comforter or sheet set, it's a good idea to opt for one that is breathable. A lighter fabric will help keep your bedding cool and comfortable, especially in the summer months when temperatures soar. They are also easier to wash because they can dry quickly on their own without requiring much effort on your part. 

To select bedding for summer, choose cotton fabric, consider using a duvet cover and pick out a lighter comforter. Cotton is the best summer bedding because it’s lightweight and durable enough to move around during the night without feeling too heavy on your body.

Summer is a great time to invest in new bedding for your home. Choose the fabric according to your needs and quality for a comfortable sleep all year round. Do not forget to follow the above summer sleeping tips for a soothing & restful night.

Good night!

The Ultimate Guide to Designing Your Dorm Room: Tips for making it your Personal Space

Did you think that your college dorm room would be a boring place filled with nothing but furniture? Think again! Even though it is not your permanent home, it is the first space that you get to make as cozy and personal as possible. This means that the dorm room should be designed so that you feel at home in no time. After all, this is where you’ll spend at least a third of your life from now on. With this in mind, we’ve put together some great tips on how to create the perfect design for your new home. You will have to share the space with other people and follow certain rules imposed by your college or landlord, but that does not mean you cannot make it feel like home. The trick is to find ways to customize the space without breaking any rules or spending too much money. Here are 11 tricks on how to design your dorm room so it feels like home:

Make a plan before you start decorating

Even though it is tempting to go wild with and patterns, you have to have a plan. Before you start decorating your dorm room, make a list of all the things you need and want for the space – from furniture to appliances. This way, you will avoid the “spur-of-the-moment” purchases that you will likely regret later. The last thing you want is to have too many items that take up too much space. Remember, your dorm room is likely to be small, so you will have to make every cubic inch count! Having a clear plan will also help you make smart decisions while shopping: instead of getting carried away with decorative items and pieces you do not need, you will stick to your list and walk out with only the essentials.

Go for full basics

Full basics and darks work best in dorm rooms. Dark items are more likely to show stains and dirt, while bright full items are easier to clean and can be refreshed with a new coat of paint from time to time. You can also use full accents, like throw cushions and soft fabrics, to create an interesting look. With this in mind, you can go for bold bedding and curtains if you are allowed to – these items are essential to decorate your dorm room, after all! You can also use full accessories and decorative items to add some brightness to the space: paint a wall in a fun, add full prints to your wall or choose decorative items in bright.

Add a dash of white to your bedding

If you want to add some to your dorm room, start with your bedding. People rarely think of bedding as a decorative item, but it is one of the most important elements in a dorm room. Bedding sets are easy to find and come in a variety of s and styles. Depending on the scheme you are going with, you will have a range of options to pick from. If you want to add some to the room, but don’t want to go overboard, full bedding is the way to go. It is an essential part of the dorm room decoration, anyway: it will make it much more comfortable and make you feel like you are at home. Remember: if you make the bed, you will spend less time in cleaning up and more time doing what you love.

Use storage space

It goes without saying that you will have a lot of things to store in your dorm room. You could try and put everything in a closet or a drawer, but this would only make the room feel more cramped. The solution to this is to use storage. Find space to put extra bedding, towels, and even extra chairs if you have a small space. Use the walls to hang up bookshelves and shelves filled with your favorite books, framed pictures, and other items that you want to display but that you don’t use on a daily basis. These will not only add to the aesthetic of the room, but they will also make it easier to clean and keep things organized.

Bring in nature – and light!

It is no secret that dorm rooms are not known for being the most attractive places. In fact, they are often so cramped and dark that they are not only uncomfortable, but they also lack any charm. To make your dorm room a more welcoming place, bring in nature: add plants to your space and make sure that there is plenty of light. If you have the option to pick the room with natural light, do it: it will make a huge difference. Plants are not only great for the health (which is important, too!) but they can also be great decorative items. You can also bring in extra light by adding lamps and other pieces of lighting.

Get comfy with soft furnishings and rugs

Rugs and soft furnishings not only make a room look cozy, but they also make it more comfortable, too. If you are allowed to have a rug in the room, this is a must-have item: it will not only add and style to your dorm room, but it will also make it easier to clean and much more comfortable to walk on. If you are allowed to have a rug, make sure that you get a stain-resistant one, as it is likely to get dirty quite quickly. Rugs are great decorative items that can also be useful – you can use them to make a sofa or chair look cozier and more welcoming. When it comes to soft furnishings, try to pick items that are easy to clean and can be washed from time to time (if they are not machine washable, make sure they are easy to spot-clean).

Add a splash of color here and there

If you are going for a monochromatic look, you don’t want to add too much color. However, if you are going for a more colorful look, feel free to go wild! Add brightly colored furniture, decorative items, and framed pictures to your room. You can also add color to your walls with posters and interesting decals. These are great decorative items that are easy to change and add a splash of color to any room. Even if a dorm room is small and confined, you can add color to make it feel more spacious. You can also make a room look larger by making sure that your pieces are well-spaced. You don’t want to jam-pack your room with items; instead, you want to make sure that everything has its place and is neatly organized.

Don’t forget the essentials!

Finally, when designing your dorm room, don’t forget the essentials. Make sure that your room is safe and has easy access to electricity and internet. Get a safe for your valuables, and make sure that your room is clean and clutter-free so that it is hygienic and comfortable to live in. If your room has a lot of natural light, make sure that it gets a lot of blinds, too – you don’t want people walking past to see what’s inside! Finally, make sure that your room is comfortable to live in. If you are allowed to paint the walls, choose a color that is neutral and easy to live with.

Replicating the bed-quality of a 5-star hotel might be a herculean task, but with the right direction and ideal setting, you can get it done.

A beautiful bedroom and a snug bed mean peaceful nights. One thing is absolute, the time you spend alone or with your loved ones before bed should be quality.

We will be presenting you with an easy-to-do guide for making your bed and bedroom look amazing and feel superb. With these handy tips, you can truly make your sleeping space, inviting and cozy.

1. Good Mattress for Support.

A mattress sits on the top of the frame and is the foundation of any bed. The basic function of any mattress is to support your lying body during sleep. All you have to do is put the mattress on top of the bed base. Upholstery or fabric of the mattress provides the softness you need for sleeping. Mattresses are filled with several different materials like cotton, wool, coconut fibre, polyester and latex to make it firm. It forms the foundation of your bedding and decides the comfort levels. The really important thing to keep in mind before purchasing a mattress is the size. As mattresses can last up to ten or more years, so, always check the size of your bed before investing in a mattress.

2. Fitted Sheet for Convenient Sleep. 

A fitted sheet protects your mattress from dust, spills, and stains. It features elastic on the sides to stay securely fit over the mattress. Again, checking the size of your mattress is fundamental before buying a fitted sheet. Some fitted sheets have a tag for the long and short sides for convenience. You can easily put on the fitted sheet over your mattress by starting from the top corner and pulling it down to the bottom end corner. Continue for the other side. A simple Google search shows you the results for the best bedding sheets. Try to find a fitted sheet that effortlessly fits the size of your mattress. Similarly, you can also check the thread count of the fitted sheet, according to the smoothness you desire. Any fitted sheet with a high thread count provides the sheen to make the bed look beautiful. Some of the best bed sheets can be found here.

3. Soft Feel with Flat Sheet

A flat sheet or a top sheet works somewhat in the same manner as a fitted sheet but is different in their functionality. However, the non-elastic sides of a flat sheet make it come loose against the mattress. Some people prefer putting the top sheet over the mattress, as it can be easily removed for wash and care. You can easily put it on the flat sheet by tucking its side underneath the mattress. Putting on the top sheet over a fitted sheet safeguards against wrinkles. Also, a long flat sheet can be used purposefully to hide the sides and storage of the bed. One thing is certain, putting on a top sheet makes the bed look neat. Moreover, there are sheets that keep you cool because of their temperature balancing properties. Here are some amazing top sheets with beautiful colors to add to your bed.

4. Duvet to Keep You Warm

A Duvet and Comforter serve the same purpose. It might be confusing for people to differentiate between them. Both the Duvet and Comforter keep the sleeper warm. A Duvet is placed on the top of a bed. It is generally white or cream color. You can fold the Duvet and place it at the end of the bed. Although Duvet or Comforter come mostly plain or sometimes patterned, you can use a Duvet Cover for a fashionable look. A Duvet Cover protects the duvet against stains, allergens, and mites. Plus, washing a Duvet is a lot of hassle many people avoid. Mix and match these astounding colorful Duvet covers with your bedroom décor for a luxurious look.

5. Style with Pillows

Pillows come in different shapes and sizes. Choosing the right pillows that complement your bedroom and bed décor might be challenging. It is down to an individual’s taste for aesthetics. Pillow offers support to your neck while sleeping. Moreover, multiple pillows, when set together beneath the headboard look like an excellent decorative piece. So, select the pillow that looks perfect for the bed size. Your pillows should neither be small nor too big. Select a pillowcase that feels smooth and soft on the skin because you will be resting your face on the pillow overnight. Having chic color pillowcases is a wonderful thing to make your bed look fantastic. You can combine different colored and patterned pillows. These are colorful pillow covers of different sizes that are ideal for a stylish bed.

6. Keep it together with the Sheet Set

Sheet sets are an ideal choice for those people with limited time to mix and match or pick the right set of colors. Generally, sheet sets include matching fitted sheet, top sheet and pillowcases. The sheet set can feature matching color or pattern. The thread count and quality in the sheets set is constant for all the items. The place where you live highly influences the decision of buying bedding. If you live in a tropical region go for sheets that keep you cool and for cold conditions buy sheets that keep you warm.

7. Throws for Accentuating Style

People often get confused between throws and blankets. A blanket is more functional as it provides warmth. Whereas, you can use a throw to accentuate the bed. The only difference between the both is size. Adorn your bed with lovely throws by placing them over the comforter or duvet at the foot of the bed. You can pick a color for the throw which matches either the headboard or pillows.

8. Room Light for Good Mood

A bedroom should feature lighting that is conducive to sleep. Your sleeping space should have relaxed lighting. There are plenty of lighting equipment in the market which change hues according to the time of the day. Also, these lightings are controllable using apps. Therefore, you can set the lighting according to your mood. The essential aspect is choosing a light that is not too harsh on the eyes.

9. Decluttering with Storage Boxes

Having a cluttered bedroom invites mites and insects and looks unpleasant. You can buy wooden storage to keep away things like your bag, shoes, clothes, and everything else to free up space. Also, you can place books, plants, paintings, and artificial candles on top of the cupboard. Keeping your bedroom decluttered has many benefits and alleviates the mood for a more peaceful sleep.

10. Walls that Talk

Make the walls of your bedroom speak by adding some of your favorite things to them. You can decorate the wall with photos of your childhood memories or awards. Similarly, there are several digital graphics available online which look brilliant. The idea is to fill up the walls moderately to leave out the blank space.

These were some DIY tips for making your bed and bedroom snug. How to make a bed or how to make bedroom cozier is a choice of personal preference. If the budget is not a constraint, you can seek help from professional designers to overhaul your bedroom. The crucial part of organizing your bedroom is to make it as comfortable as you can. Sleep is as important as food so make sure you get it right.

INFANT SLEEP GUIDE

How to make newborn sleep at night?

A new-born’s sleep routine is a matter of concern for many parents. When babies are born, they are unaware of morning and night cycles. They did not have a routine and they can wake up and sleep anytime. During pregnancy, your sleeping pattern directly affects that of your baby. It rests when you are active in the daytime and it's active when you are sleeping. After birth, it takes time to get habitual to a new sleep cycle. Babies normally take 2 to 6 months to develop healthy sleeping habits. If you are searching for the answer to How to make your new born sleep at night, you have come to the right place. Let us first tell you the fastest ways to make your infant sleep.

Babies' sleep cycle changes with their age. Let's understand their ideal sleep duration with the help of the following table:

Not all infants can sleep on their own without their parents’ help. Here are a few tips to get new-borns to sleep at night:

Allow adequate nap time according to your baby's age. 

Follow a consistent & soothing newborn bedtime routine. Give a bath, sing a lullaby, cuddle them with love, or play soft music. Start these activities in a softly lit room before the baby gets overtired. 

Don't let the baby fall asleep in your arms every time because when you put it down, they can wake up and start crying. Hence, put them to bed when they are drowsy and awake. It will help the baby to associate the bed with falling asleep. 

Cuddling & making your babies comfortable when they are awake is the way to make them feel secure. If they feel secure, they can handle separation and fall asleep, mainly at night time. 

Rubbing eyes, yawning, looking away, getting fussy, or crying are the signs of a new born feeling sleepy. Help them find comfort by cuddling. They need your reassuring presence to fall asleep.

Use a pacifier. It can quiet a baby. Sucking on a pacifier during sleeping time can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is one of the ways of ensuring safe sleep for new-borns.

When the baby awakes at night, reassure him/ her by patting and soothing. Do this for a few minutes. Don't take them out of bed immediately. They will feel calm and then fall asleep. 

When your baby gets hungry or wakes up at night, feed them in dim light, and use a soft voice with calm movements. Make them sleep by patting or swinging. 

As much as comfort, safety is also a must. Did you know that there are about 3400 sudden infant deaths (SIDS) every year in the USA? This number is more or less the same in most countries. The main culprit - accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed (27%). These are some ways to reduce the risk of SIDS and ensure relaxing new born bedtime:

Breastfeed your baby at least for 6 months. 

Do not smoke anywhere near your baby and don't let others do that. It can create several health issues disrupting the norms of safe sleep for newborns.

Put your baby on their back while sleeping till they can move on their sides on their own. 

Use a firm and soft bed covered by a comfortable fitted sheet. This can prevent gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib, bassinet, or play yard. It helps to protect the baby from getting stuck between the mattress and the side of the crib.

Keep your baby's bed separate from yours but keep it near you. This sleeping placement is suitable for the baby's first year. 

Avoid using infant seats, strollers, car seats, infant swings, and carriers for daily naps and routine bedtimes.

Use tight bedding to provide safe sleep for new-borns. Use breathable and soft fabric. Bedsheets made with 100% long-staple premium cotton yarn can be an ideal choice. The sateen weave is soft & gentle on the baby’s skin. Check out our Baby bed linen collection.

We have understood the safe ways to make your baby sleep at night but there are some things you should avoid while taking your newborn to bed. They are as follows:

Don't try to keep a baby awake during daytime so that they can sleep the whole night. It's not natural for them. Rather newborns will be overtired and stressed. The situation will make it more challenging for them to soothe and rest later at night. Understand their sleeping pattern and eventually make them habitual to sleeping at night.

People think that cereals keep a baby's tummy fuller, so they may not wake up at night crying from hunger. But it's not true. It can make them restless due to gas pain in the stomach. You should feed cereals only when they can eat them with a spoon, mostly after 6 months. Till then stick to breastfeeding or formula.

Safe sleep for newborns is important to reduce the risk of SIDS. Don't hold your baby when you are very sleepy. Parents might sleep holding their babies in their hands or lap. To avoid this keep your baby in a crib or bassinet first and then go to sleep. 

Babies' bedding also plays a crucial role in their comfortable, peaceful, and safe sleep. Perfect bedding coupled with good sleeping habits is essential for safe newborn bedtime. 

Here's the guide on How to choose newborn bedding. 

Use a firm foam, spring, or coir mattress. Avoid using cotton or polyester stuffed mattresses in which the stuffing can bunch up and form lumps. 

Prefer using a fitted sheet on the mattress. Loose sheets can be a suffocation hazard for newborns.

Go for premium cotton sheets for a smooth and safe experience. Babies’ sheets get wet frequently. So, you will need a highly absorbent and durable bedsheet that can last long even after frequent washes.

The baby’s skin is delicate and prone to allergy. Use cotton bedsheets that are hypoallergenic . Cotton does not attract dust or allergens, unlike other fabrics.

Baby mouthing is natural and is part of babies’ learning and development. Hence, you cannot prevent your baby from putting everything in their mouth. So, you need to wisely select the bedsheets that are free from chemicals. Our baby sheets are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified ensuring the textiles meet high safety standards to keep your babies safe and healthy. All fabrics used are 100 % eco-friendly chemical free, and certified AZO FREE, making it soothing for even the babies’ sensitive skin.

If you are using pillows in the crib, use cotton pillow cases. They ensure maximum comfort for a deep restful bedtime for your little munchkin.

Choose sleeping bags or wearable sacks. It's the smartest substitute for comforters, blankets, and duvets. However, if you still choose to use duvets select a duvet cover that suits the season.

Let your newborn have a safe, peaceful sleep and happy mornings with our wide range of baby bedding collections.Check out now.

WHY MOISTURE WICKING SHEETS ARE PERFECT WINTER BEDDING?

Being draped in a snug puffer jacket, snow boot, and glove keeps you cozy while you are out during the day. But once back home, the bliss of being comfortable and warm during a cold wintry night is unmatched. Post dinner you cannot wait to snuggle up with your lovely winter bed sheets and weave happy dreams. You need to stay warm and dry during the winter to experience a goodnight’s sleep. A bedsheet made of moisture-wicking fabric is the best for winter as it soaks sweat from your skin to the surface and lets it dry quickly keeping you warm. This leads to efficient temperature regulation as you stay warm and dry even if you perspire a lot. We are sure you have questions regarding moisture-wicking fabric and its properties, don’t worry we will answer them all.

Do moisture-wicking and moisture-absorption sheets mean the same?

The way both the fabrics work is different, moisture absorbing fabrics soak sweat from your skin and retain it in the fabric. Whereas, moisture wicking materials pull the perspiration away from your body and let it evaporate quickly through the surface. Therefore, moisture wicking bedsheets are also called quick drying and rapid dry sheets. Each of these fabrics absorbs water but moisture wicking material dries quickly while moisture absorbent fabric retains moisture for a long time. Cotton is great for moisture absorption as it is hydrophilic which means it can hold approximately 25 times of weight in water. Although, cotton fabrics can be treated in a certain way to imitate sweat wicking properties.

What is moisture wicking fabric made of?

Most of the moisture wicking fabrics are made from synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and, spandex as they are hydrophobic; meaning resistant to water penetration. However, because of low hypoallergenic value, these materials are often mixed with natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, and, wool. These blended bedsheets offer comfort and warmth on icy nights but might cause trouble to people with skin sensitives. Bedsheets made from artificially sourced material like polyester or microfibre can trap a lot of heat which will cause difficulty for hot sleepers (the people troubled with night sweats).

What are the benefits of moisture wicking bedsheets?

Regulates Temperature: Your body temperature drops by 1 to 2 degrees from daytime as it prepares for sleep. It adjusts subconsciously to the right temperature required at each stage of sleep. Even when you sweat while sleeping, moisture wicking bedsheets keep you dry all night long. This allows your body to function optimally when it undergoes temperature changes during different stages of sleep.

Hygienic: Bacteria prefer warm, moist environments, which makes bedsheets the perfect place for them. In contrast, moisture-wicking fabrics have the opportunity to dry out, which means the home bacteria love so much simply does not exist. Due to this, the germs and mites build up with sweat wicking sheets is low allowing you to sleep in a hygienic environment all week long. Yet, you have to wash your bedsheets frequently to prevent the excessive growth of allergies and disease-causing microbes.

Odor-Free Nights: Every night our body leaves behind sweat, dead skin cells, and body oils. These discharges cause your bedsheets to stink. More than anything sweat is the biggest contributing factor for bad odor. The moisture-wicking fabric eliminates that problem by keeping you dry throughout the night. Also, if you sweat a lot, the fabric pulls the perspiration to the surface and evaporates it quickly ensuring an odor-free night.

Effortless Wash Care: Its inherent nature makes moisture-wicking fabric durable, washable, and adaptable. The material is easy to dry, it does not stain easily, it won't shrink, and because it is so durable, it is unlikely to snag, tear like other bedsheets. This type of material does not require special washing instructions; you can wash and dry it without risking damage. Moisture-wicking materials are stain release that requires less water and detergent when washing. Keep fabric softeners away from the fabric to preserve its efficiency.

Comfort: Obviously, moisture-wicking fabrics keep you dry when you sweat. If you experience hot flashes or cold sweat during the night, sweat wicking fabric will pull perspiration away from your skin instead of clinging to you for a comfortable experience. The material is lightweight, so it will wick moisture from your skin and let it breathe when the temperature rises and you start to sweat. As a result, you will remain comfortable and warm in your bedsheets despite the cold weather.

These are some top benefits of sweat wicking bedsheets during the winter season which make it the best choice for the season. However, there are several factors apart from bedsheets that are important for a goodnight’s sleep. If you don’t sweat a lot, the moisture wicking bedsheets are of little use to you. Also, people with skin sensitivities might want to stay away from them because of their hypoallergic nature. Furthermore, you want sheets that are your go-to bedding for all year round and not just winter. So, what are the sheets that you can use for different seasons and enjoy the same comfort?

Cotton bedsheets are always the best option because of their following qualities.

Breathable – Cotton sheets are crafted from natural fibers and have excellent breathability to keep you dry.

Soft - Cotton bed sheets are gentle and smooth and get softer with every wash.

Hypoallergenic - Sheets made from cotton are organic and good for the skin.

Durable - Cotton sheets fray and pill very less if taken care of properly

Sustainable - Cotton sheets are renewable and biodegradable with a low-ecological impact.

Apart from the benefits of cotton, the thread count it is weaved in matters too. For example, sheets made of 400 thread count are lightweight and highly-breathable. Whereas, the 600 thread count bedsheets are smooth and gentle on the skin. The 800 thread count sheets are luxurious, heavy, and keep you warm. Similarly, the 1000 thread count offer a cozy and lavish feel of sleeping in 5star luxury hotel with its soft and thick craftsmanship.

You can buy the best 100% long staple cotton bedsheets for winter made from sateen weave and single ply yarns here.

Finding the perfect warm sheets for winter is not an easy task, but once you are well aware of your optimal temperature for sleeping, you can easily choose the best bedsheets. Some people are hot sleepers while some feel cold while sleeping. Regardless of the climate, you can go for the bedsheets that you feel the most comfortable sleeping in.

FOLLOW THE RULE OF THREE TO KEEP YOUR COTTON SHEETS SOFT AND LONG LASTING

Keep your sheets in rotation of three to make them look and feel at their best.

We spend 8 hours of our day in bed which is a significant time for dirt buildup this means that your sheets need regular washing. But an ideal time to change sheets depends on your lifestyle. When you adopt the rotation of three sheets for your bedding routine, you can be sure of sleeping in soft beddings every single day.

How to apply Rule of Three?

At every time, there should be sheets on the bed, in the closet and in the washer. Let’s dig in a little deeper.

1 On the bed

The first rule is that at any given time you must have one sheet on your bed. You can mix and match it with your duvet cover and sheet sets.

2 In the closet

The second rule is that at any given time, a spare set should always be there in your closet in case you have to wash the other two. Or you might even need one for special occasions in colors of your choice.

You also need extra set of sheets to change when you’re sick as you tend to sweat more and there is a chance the sheets needs to be washed often.

3 In the washer

Accidents like food stains, spilled drinks can occur anytime. Washing bed sets regularly not only keeps them clean but increases their lifespan. If you are going to use only one set of bedding for months, they will wear out faster and fill up with allergy causing mites if not washed regularly.

Following the rule of three ensures you can keep your sheets feel soft and luxurious extending their life.

Now that we know what the Rule of Three is, let’s dive into how often should you wash your bedsheets.

How often should you wash your bedsheets?

Washing your sheets and pillowcases at least once in two weeks keeps them fresh. And if you are a hot sleeper, the laundry frequency should be once a week. The problem is, if you are going to wash your sheets regularly, having a single set isn’t enough. Thus, how many sheets do you need? You should have three sets to follow the golden rule of three.

How often to wash different types of sheets and beddings?

Fitted Sheet

A fitted sheet directly comes in contact with you and absorbs a lot of sweat and dead skin cells. Moreover, it protects your mattress from stain, dirt, spills, and marks. You have to keep it clean to protect your mattress and increase its longevity. Washing your fitted sheet once a week is ideal to ensure the bed you sleep in every night is free from allergens causing mites, dust, and dirt.

You would need a sheet that feels good against your skin; this cotton fitted sheet made from combed cotton is hypoallergenic and suitable for people with skin sensitivities.

Flat Sheet

A flat sheet protects your comforter from sweat and dirt, keeping your bed fresh. It is also called top sheet and is highly-functional. You can tuck the flat sheets under your mattress to protect it from marks and stains. Also, during the hot summers months you can do away with a comforter and use a flat sheet instead to stay cool. You have to launder a top sheet at least once in two weeks because it comes in full contact with your body.

Buy a cotton flat sheet which is generously sized and stylish for all-season comfort. This flat sheet is weaved using fine yarn technique that offers remarkable breathability.

Duvet Cover

A duvet cover will absorb a lot of moisture during the night. It helps in protecting your duvet from dirt and save you from the hassle of washing your duvet frequently. You have to wash the duvet cover at least once a week because it is fully in contact with the skin. Since duvet covers are interchangeable and always are on top of the bed you can mix and match some designs and colors. If you like adding some style to your bedroom this Bohemian patterned cotton duvet cover set is the perfect choice. It features four-corner ties to prevent the duvet from bunching up inside and an elegant hidden button closure.

Pillowcases

The pillow cases needs washing every week as it absorbs oils from the scalp. There is also chance of stains caused by facial creams and hence requires regular washing. Give your bedroom a makeover with these stylish pillowcases available in a wide range of color.

Mattress

This is the most important component of the entire bedding and it is expensive for a reason. You feel great when sleeping on a comfortable mattress. Whereas, once the mattress loses its flexibility, you will toss and turn every night until you get it replaced. Although, a mattress is something that you should not wash regularly because, one it is not easy and two it does not come directly in contact with you. A mattress should be washed at least once before summer and winter.

Duvet

Duvet has fillings, it is similar to a mattress, thick and heavy. Your comforter will become a den of those creepy eight-legged bugs that cause allergies and rashes. Getting it cleaned once per season like you’d with the mattress will ensure freshness for a long time.

Pillows

You rest the head on the pillows for average of 56 hours a week. They get stained with facial creams, hair oil and make up more than any other bedding. As pillows are easy-to-wash, you should launder them at least once every quarter that is four times a year. This will maintain their fluffiness and increase their shelf life for years to come. Now that you know the frequency of washing required by different bedding. It is essential to wash the bedsheets properly to prevent damage and rid them off dirt, stains, and, soil.

How to wash bed sheets?

When washing bedding, use the hottest temperature listed on the care label. Hot water kills most germs in the bedding and also kills dust mites that thrive in it.

Separate by color just like you would with clothing, darker colors can dull or bleed into lighter colors.

Use a gentle cycle for washing the sheets and take out the sheets as soon as they have been washed. Shaking the sheets out before placing them in the dryer will also reduce wrinkles.

When machine-drying, use a low heat setting to prevent damage to the sheets.

As soon as the cycle has finished, remove the sheets from the dryer and fold them, smoothing wrinkles with your hands.

Whenever possible, dry sheets on an outside clothesline but out of direct sunlight. Line drying enhances freshness and reduces strong odors.

Conclusion

The rotation of sheets once a week applying the golden rule of 3 will increase their longevity. Washing your bedsheets every week also promotes healthy sleeping habits to prevent allergies and illness. Because you are going to the need three sets to follow the golden rule, you can buy colorful and printed linens made from 100% long staple cotton that get softer after each wash here.

HOW TO WASH SHEETS TO KEEP THEM SOFT AND LONG-LASTING

Doing laundry is one of the difficult tasks to do when it includes washing sheets in it. Have you ever wondered how to wash sheets using hassle-free methods? Many of them are unaware of the fact that there are some simple tricks through which the durability of the beddings multiplies.

Our premium bed Linens are breathable, cool, airy, soft, pure cotton quality sheets. All our products are crafted by using premium, revolutionary colorfast dyes that are engineered for sustainability. Washing the sheets in the right way will in turn increase their shelf life. To keep the color intact, to not strip off the natural softness of the cotton fabric, and to prevent wrinkling even after prolonged usage, we suggest that you follow these simple steps while doing your laundry:

1. Wash at 140° F While washing the sheets 140° temperature of the water leaves the sheets with lasting freshness and increases its shelf life. The cotton sheets dry out well if washed at a particular temperature. If you're allergic to dust mites, we recommend washing your bedsheets at least once a week. Wash them in water that is at least 140° degrees Fahrenheit to kill the dust mites. Now, if you are sick with something contagious, the rules change. Sheets and other bedding need to be changed as soon as you feel better to prevent contracting the illness again. The temperature of the water will need to be between 140° degrees Fahrenheit to kill the germs, so select the sanitize option on your washer. If washing them at a high temperature is not an ideal option then usage of mild detergent with a moderate temperature can be the safe option for increasing the durability of the sheets.

2. Wash your sheets once a week

Weekly, most of us spend approximately 49 to 60+ hours sleeping in our beds. That is a lot of time to get the rest our bodies need to thrive, but it is also ample time to build up dirt, sweat, oil, and other gunk on our sheets and bedding. Proper hygiene is important in all areas of life. Without regular cleaning, dirty sheets can contribute to allergies, skin breakouts, asthma, and more. For your health and sleep quality, it’s important to keep things clean. Most people should wash their sheets once per week. If you don’t sleep on your mattress every day, you may be able to stretch this to once every two weeks or so. It also depends on how often you wash your sheets. Some people should wash their sheets even more often than once a week. If you have pets, and particularly if you let them sleep in your bed, a wash every 3-4 days is recommended. If you experience allergies or asthma, it may be worth it to try cleaning your bedding more frequently to see if your symptoms improve. It’s also recommended to wash sheets more often in the warm summer months, as you will likely get more sweat on your bedding. Likewise, if you have seasonal allergies in the spring or summer, washing sheets more often may help relieve symptoms.

3. Wash your sheets separately Sheets and comforters need lots of room to get clean, so in order to get them thoroughly clean and sanitized wash them separately. Do not logjam too many sheets and clothes into each load. Also, never wrap sheets around the agitator, they will tear and wrinkle. The reason behind washing sheets separately is to prevent other items from getting tangled or balled up in them. If you do choose to wash other items with sheets, make sure they are lightweight and similar in color to avoid the sheets getting spoiled by the color bleed of other fabrics.

4. Tricks of using bleach while washing sheets. You may be surprised to learn that using bleach to whiten your sheets actually has the opposite effect. Bleach contains chlorine, which chemically reacts with the proteins in our sweat and body oil, causing yellow spots to appear on the sheets. While using bleach for whitening your bedsheets, first, wash them with your regular laundry detergent. Washing eliminates traces of sweat and body oil. Once cleaned, add half a cup of bleach to the drum and run a regular wash cycle to whiten your sheets. Do not bleach your colored bedsheets.

5. Line dry to avoid wrinkles Clean, fresh, 100% cotton sheets are the perfect end to any long day. But pure cotton sheets do tend to get wrinkles, especially when new. Keep in mind to untangle your sheets before placing them in the machine. Do not overload the machine. When they get squashed, the more they wrinkle! One sheet at a time would be best, a more practical option is one sheet set at a time. When the sheets are out of the washer, use the line dry technique to dry the sheets as clothes and sheets smell much fresher. This is particularly important for those sensitive to perfumes and dyes used in detergents and dryer products, fresh air is less expensive than dryer sheets. Tossing and tumbling in a dryer can cause wear and strain on the fabric due to stress on seams and snags from buttons and zippers. Extremely high heat in the dryer can ruin some fabrics and cause irreversible damage. Following these simple methods as the wash care for your sheets may increase their durability. The cotton sheets are highly sustainable if they are taken care of. Also, it is ideal to have multiple sheet sets so that you can often wash the bedsheets and change them, use them alternately.

BEST POSITIONS TO SLEEP IN FOR A RESTFUL SLEEP

Are you in search of the best positions to sleep for back pain, neck pain, or during pregnancy? Sleeping position is as important as sleeping time because when we sleep, our body works to revive itself. It either helps or impedes the process. So, it becomes crucial to know the best position to sleep in that will help support the natural spinal curvature. A good sleeping position helps to relieve stress on the spine and makes you feel rejuvenated and well-rested. On the other hand, an inconvenient sleeping position may lead to back pain or neck pain.

Let's have a look at the best sleeping positions for a fully-recharged good morning.

1. Fetal Position

The sleeping position that is like a fetus in the womb. It means sleeping on either side of the body with knees bent up to the chest. It is the most popular sleeping position among women. According to the BSC survey, almost 47% of people prefer this position. It is the best way to sleep for a person with lower back pain and during pregnancy. Also, it helps to reduce snoring. It has a few downsides if you sleep in a tight or stiff fetal position. It might become difficult to take a deep breath while snoozing. Avoid sleeping in this position if you are suffering from joint pains.  

If you want to sleep comfortably in the fetal position, make sure your posture is loose and relaxed when you curl up your body. You can try keeping a pillow between your knees. It enables you to better align your hips to avoid low back pain. During pregnancy, it is more helpful for comfortable and deep sleep. Keeping your bedding clean is also important. Buy long-lasting pillow covers which bring 5-star hotel quality to your home. They have breathable material and are highly absorbent in nature.

2. On Your Side

It is similar to a fetal position, just your legs are not pulled up towards your body. Sleep scientists call it the lateral sleeping position. It is beneficial in reducing snoring and heartburn. Also, it helps in stimulating brain health. Sleeping on your left side might be beneficial if you are not a heart patient. It can be useful for boosting regular bowel movements. It is advisable to sleep on the right side if you face any heart issues. Though you should not sleep on the either side whole night. Change it randomly otherwise it may cause stiffness in your shoulders. Also, it can lead to jaw tightness on that side. This posture can cause facial wrinkles if you follow this sleeping position for a long time. The skin on your face can expand over time. So, it is advisable to change the sleeping positions over time.

Yearner Position

As per the BSC survey, almost 13% of people prefer this sleeping position. It is sleeping on either side with arms outstretched in front of the body. It can be good if you have breathing problems when you snooze, but bad if you suffer from arthritis.

3. Sleeping On Your Back

This sleeping position comes with many benefits. It helps your spine to stay straight and relieves hip and knee pain. It is one of the best positions to sleep in as it keeps your body in an even alignment with your -spine. That helps to reduce the excessive pressure on your back or joints. A pillow below your knees can help support the natural spinal curve. This sleeping position also protects your face from getting wrinkles early. Despite these positives, sleeping on your back can be difficult for those having sleep apnea and snoring habit. It might be difficult for a person with back pain, so make sure you are supported properly with a pillow to enjoy a restful sleep. Ensure maximum comfort with  luxurious pillowcases.

Starfish Position

One extensive study discovered that people who were sleeping on their backs with hands up near their chest or head in the starfish position had less shoulder pain. 

Soldier Position

A later study said that people who slept in the soldier position on their back with their arms at their sides activated their shoulder muscles less, so they had less shoulder pain.

4. On Your Stomach

Sleeping on your stomach has limited benefits. Still, 17 percent of people prefer sleeping on stomachs with arms beneath the pillow, or bound around it, head to one side. It's a good position for people having sleep apnea or snoring habits. But it can cause neck and back pain as your muscles are not in a neutral position. Placing a pillow under your lower belly or below your head can help your body to stay in a bit more comfortable position.

A hot sleeper is one who always experiences too much heat while sleeping. It is common for hot sleepers to wake up feeling their body temperature is too high, which results in sleep deprivation. The people who fall into this category often wake up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night.

What is the best thread count for sheets?

best thread count for sheets?" />

The thread count of bedsheet is measured by how many horizontal and vertical threads are present on a square inch. A sheet with a higher thread count will usually be softer, and it is more likely to wear well or soften over time. A good thread count for sheets should range between 400 and 1000, although there are sometimes sheets that exceed 1000. Bed linens with a high thread count are softer and finer in texture. The qualities of bed sheets change as per the thread count. For example, 400 thread count bed sheets are breathable while 600 thread count bedding feels luxurious and soft. The sheets made of 800 thread count are gentle on the skin and lavish. Similarly, the 1000 thread count sheets are luxurious and crisp.

You should select a material for your bed linen that is comfy for you. The following are some of the most commonly used fabrics to make bed sheets:

Cotton - Lightweight, breathable, cool and easy-to-wash, cotton is a good choice for families and households with children. As well as providing soft comfort, best cotton sheets are incredibly durable and lasts for several years. It is crafted from organic fibers which makes the bed sheets skin-friendly for people with skin-sensitivities.

Linens - Its breathability and ability to draw moisture from your body make linen a great choice for both summer and winter. Linen creases a lot and even freshly ironed bedsheets wrinkle with the slightest touch.

Silk - There is nothing more beautiful and luxurious than bed linen made of silk. Besides being soft and naturally hypoallergenic, it's lighter than cotton and very durable. On the downside, it is not budget friendly. Additionally, it requires much more care than cotton and is too easy to slip off the bed.

Polyester - A stain resistant, inexpensive and durable man-made fabric, is usually used in a blend with other materials. Polyester sheets trap heat and will make even the coolest person sweat. Moreover, they are not skin-friendly and can trigger allergic reactions.

When it comes weave, the two popular choices in the bedding industries have been for year sateen and percale. Both these weaves result in different qualities of the fabric.

What is the difference between Sateen vs Percale?

Sateen Weave – If you love a very soft, lustrous feeling, sateen bedsheets are made for you. As a result of its unique weaving pattern, it produces a sumptuous, smooth and satiny finish. The dense nature of the sateen weave makes the sheet suitable for all-weather.

Percale Weave - You'll enjoy the crisp feel of percale weave in the sheets, as well as the matte appearance. It’s simple weaving procedure creates a more even texture and comfier feel in bed linen. Percale sheets are lighter and airy making it suitable for warmer climate.

Styling Your Bedroom

The fabric, weave, and thread count of a bed sheet will provide you the comfort needed for sleeping peacefully. But, the aesthetic of your sleeping space will look brilliant with the color and style of the bedding you choose. Again, the style for your bedsheets can be divided into two types. First, the people who love the classic white or patterned bedsheets. The other group consists of fashion-enthusiast who try experimenting with printed bedsheets.

By now, if you have decided whether you are a hot sleeper or cold sleeper, buying sheets will not be difficult for you. The fabric, thread count, weave and styling are all components of the bedding.

There are several factors that determine the cooling characteristic of the fabric and we will simplify it in three broad points. 1) Natural fibers, 2) breathable fabric and 3) sweat absorption. These three points are the pillars that determine the cooling characteristic of the fabric. But the most important of all is 4) the feel of the fabric on your skin. What we are talking about is the temperature balancing properties of the bedding.

Cotton, Natural Fibers, and Sheets That Stay Cool

Good bed linens are good because they provide comfort and care without any drawbacks that is why natural cotton bed linens are your best choice. Going natural is your best bet because not only they are hypoallergenic (material doesn’t cause an allergic reaction when touched, eaten, or used) they are also suited for all skin types. It basically means the fabric is skin-friendly even to sensitive skin types and favorable to all kinds of animals like your furry babies like dogs and felines. In addition to that the cotton is also biodegradable and completely safe for the environment.

Lightweight Breathable Fabric

Heavy dense fabric that weighs you down is a big no for summers and hot sleepers. In scorching summers and for hot sleeper’s lightweight bedding is a must because it keeps the skin ventilated and dry. Furthermore, just like moisture absorbency, lightweight breathable fabric ensures the bedding feels cool to your skin and balances your body temperature by giving your skin the ability to breathe freely. Cotton is weaved in a way that there is proper air ventilation for a sound sleeping experience and is the best form of fabric giving ample space for airy cosy feel.

Natural Temperature Regulation for Your Body’s Sleep Cycle

The temperature balancing properties is essential to give you optimum comfort and peaceful no matter the temperature outside. Be it summer or winter, a good set of bed linens adapts itself to your body temperature to give you comfort without disturbing your peaceful sleep.

No matter which part of the planet you stay be it hot, humid, arid, or cold, beddings that believe your natural rhythm and adapt itself to your body temperature are the kind of bedding you need.

Sweat Absorption and Moisture Wicking

If you’re a hot sleeper, the most important component before zeroing on a set of bedlinens is whether these are the sheets that keep you cool. Cotton is by far the BEST when it comes to sweat absorption and wins hands down for its unique ability to both keep you dry and keep you cool. If you think about it, sweat-wicking is very important so you don’t wake up feeling soaking wet in sweat as you abruptly wake up. Moisture absorption means your skin remains dry and your chance of waking up in the middle of the night remains negligible. Cotton is by far the best in ensuring you get the best sleeping experience with naturally enhanced sweat absorption and moisture-wicking. The different types of cotton are evaluated in terms of their characteristics like strength and fibers and it’s important that you really know about cotton that the softness and breathability it offers are absolutely immeasurable.

Thread Count and Premium Weaves

There are many misconceptions about thread counts and their ability to make you feel comfortable and ensure peaceful sleep. But the truth of the matter is that buying desired thread count has no exact reason for the quality of comfort. You can read more about the thread counts here.

All thread counts have their own strengths and it is on the buyer's choice and requirement. For example, tropical climates require lightweight breathable fabric while colder regions require the lush thick fabric to keep you warm in cold winters. But as we mentioned before the breathability natural fibers and sweat absorption remain the most important elements while choosing the best bedding for you.

What is one thing you need to keep yourself updated on is the weave. Premium weaves are an important indicator of the quality of bedding. Always opt for a single fine yarn weave instead of multi-ply yarn which gives you a smooth finish that feels gentle on your skin. Premium weave with an excellent finish gives you an indulgent feeling every night, and that’s something every bedding must provide.

Draping Quality and Crisp Fresh Feel

HOW TO MAKE YOUR KID'S SLEEP

10 Tips to Get Your Kids to Sleep

Children and sleep are often a concern for parents, especially when it comes to getting them to bed on time. When little ones have trouble falling asleep, bedtime can become a battle zone. However, there are ways to even the odds. By creating a healthy sleep association, providing a comfortable sleep environment, and enforcing healthy daytime habits, children and teenagers can sleep well.

You can win the battle by using these tips!

Set up a bedtime routine

Good sleep patterns are promoted by a regular bedtime routine that begins around the same time every night. About 20 minutes before bedtime, your child should engage in some quiet, enjoyable activities. Reading a book or listening to a short story are some of the common activities included in bedtime routines, including taking a bath or brushing teeth before bed.

Relax before bedtime

It is very essential to have a relaxed time for the children before having a good night’s sleep. Reading books, listening to soft music, or practicing breathing techniques (Yoga for sleep blog) can help older children relax. But, school-age children can face difficulty in sleeping due to a tiring day at school. In case your child has trouble falling asleep after 30 minutes, he or she might need a longer wind-down time.

A better Sleep Environment is a must

When it comes to children’s sleep, their surroundings play an important role. Some include reduced noise levels, minimal lighting, and optimum temperature. Taking care of the noise levels if you reside in a noisy neighbourhood is essential as it may create a disturbance for your kid to sleep without any trouble. Make sure to close the windows of the bedroom to avoid sleep disruption during the night.Comfortable bedding is also equally important for a night of uninterrupted sleep. Sometimes the uncomfortable bedding can be the reason for the incomplete sleep of your child, hence cotton bedding is the ideal choice as it inherits the qualities such as temperature regulation, high absorption, and is soft.

No Electronic Gadgets before Bedtime

If you want your kids to sleep well, you will have to be a little strict with them when it comes to their habit of using electronic devices. According to National Institutes of health studies, the light from computer screens, mobile phones, and televisions suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland that helps induce sleep. Your child will be up for an additional 30 to 60 minutes if he or she watches TV, plays video games, or browses web pages right before bed. Hence, turn off the screens at least 2 hours before bedtime.

Help alleviate fears

In spite of the fact that lots of scary creatures don't exist, it is important for parents to address bedtime fears with their children rather than dismiss them. To reinforce your child's sense of security, use a special toy for a guard or spray the room with "monster spray" before bedtime. Having a night light can help children with bedtime fears.

Follow a strict diet

Sleep quality can be affected by your child's eating habits. Do not allow them to indulge in sugary treats and desserts during dinner as it may interfere with their sleep. The Columbia University study found that eating fatty foods and sugary treats can cause sleep disturbances. Alternatively, you can give them bananas, which contain tryptophan, which helps with insomnia. Including fiber-rich food in their meals also helps in making them sleep.

Make Bed Time Fun

Follow a particular time schedule to make your kids sleep on time. There may be times when this works, but it can be counterproductive in the long run since you never know if they are lost in thought under their sheets. A better alternative, especially for pre-schoolers, would be to have a favorite toy that can only be hugged during sleep. This will be a motivating factor to go to bed early.

Exercise

It has been proven that practicing yoga and exercise is not limited to staying fit but also helps in getting uninterrupted sleep. Make sure your kids get enough playtime in the evening. Kids won't consider playing outdoors as exercise, but it's a great way to get exercise. Making them do a few breathing techniques can relieve the congestion if any and give them a sound sleep.

Waking Schedule

Just like having a sleeping schedule is important likewise having a wake-up time schedule is also essential. You should choose a wake-up time based on how much sleep your child needs and when they go to bed. Being consistent with the schedule is the key. It is generous of you to let your child sleep later on weekends, but it could have a negative impact in the long run.

Nurture Self Soothing

For older kids, anxiety or sleep problems can be part of their life. In spite of the fact that you may have discussed any issues they might be facing with them, they may get up in the middle of the night. Ensure that they calm themselves down and only come to you as a last resort.

A good night's sleep is vital to brain development, and if your children sleep well, their brains will remain active throughout the day. Due to the fact that kids need 10 to 13 hours of sleep each day, the above-mentioned tips should help make them sleep and arise on time.

Always consult your pediatrician if you have any concerns about your child’s sleeping habits. It may be suggested to see a sleep consultant, or there may be other suggestions you can try, to ensure that the entire family sleeps well!
