Memory Foam Mattress: Sleep Advice Part Two

We hope you enjoyed part one of our sleep advice posts and that we've helped at least one of you get a good night's sleep where you would have struggled before. In part two we are going to take a look at your bedroom environment and other factors that could be keeping you up at night. Just because you have a really comfy memory foam mattress doesn't mean you will fall straight asleep if your bedroom environment is wrong. Let's continue with number five...

5. A dark room is the perfect sleeping conditions so you have to do what you can to reduce any light. This could be from the street lamp outside your window or the glow from a TV. To combat this there are a number of things you can do such as putting up blackout curtains, wearing an eye mask to block out light or turning off TV's, computers or phones that emit a glow.

6. There is nothing like a sudden noise to jolt you from a good sleep or a constant alarm going off to really ruin your night. External noises such as neighbours or traffic can all have an effect on your ability to sleep well. So what can you do about these external noises? Well try masking them with a fan or soothing sounds such as a relaxation CD. Another example is noisy springs which squeak every time you move during the night. While that ones easy, just invest in a cheap memory foam mattress and do away with springs completely. 

7. Your bedroom temperature can play a huge part in how you sleep, if you're too hot then try using thin linen sheets and if it's too cold you could try a room heater. A memory foam mattress can also help since they help with your body temperature to keep you cool or warm.
