Improving sleep quality – the sleep well guide for restful sleep
Restful sleep is crucial for our well-being and health. Here you will learn how to improve your sleep quality and what simple measures can help you achieve deep and restorative sleep.
OUR BODY TEMPERATURE IS DROPPING
Did you know that your body temperature drops by about one degree Celsius while you sleep? This helps you initiate and maintain sleep. A good comforter with the right cover turns your bed into a space for relaxation.Dream yourself healthy
Everyone dreams, even if they don't always remember it. On average, we spend about six years of our lives dreaming. In dreams, we process what occupies us while awake. We sort out feelings and connect new information with past experiences. This is beneficial for our mental health.Power nap yes, but not for too long!
Power naps of about 10–20 minutes can improve your alertness and performance without affecting your nightly sleep. But be careful: longer naps can lead to sleep inertia and disrupt your nighttime sleep, making you overall more tired.Why is good sleep so important?
