About a year and a half ago, we started noticing that we weren't getting good sleep anymore. Our mattress was close to 10 years old and the pillow top was pretty much broken down. There was a dent on each side of the bed, contouring our bodies. We decided to shop for a new mattress. We had heard great things about the Sleep Number so we went into the store to try it out. The first time that I used the remote to lift the head and feet on the Sleep Number mattress, I was sold. I knew I needed this bed. We ended up getting the new bed, new pillows, and new Sleep Number pillows. In the quest for good sleep, I have also added the following to our nighttime routine: Remote to control all the lamps in my room Bluetooth sleep mask (for listening to books) White Noise Machine Humidifier (we only use it in the winter) Heating pad (only use it in the winter when I first lay down to heat up the bed) Lavender pillow spray (don't use it every day, but it is aromatherapy) Thermostat App w/thermostat at 65 in winter (I can control the temperature from my phone) Silk Pillowcase (to keep my skin wrinkle-free and my curls protected over night) Even with all of these upgrades, there are still days, like today when I wake up at 4:45. I don't normally get up until closer to 6:00 and sometimes if I do try to go back to sleep it is really hard to wake up when my alarm does go off. It is much easier to get up when I wake up too early. What are your tips for a good night sleep?
