Night is the time to take rest after the day’s work.Good night’s sleep helps us to recover from tiredness &prepares
us for the day ahead. Night's sleep is best ensured when the bed is properly
laid. Major benefits of sleep are:
*A good night’s sleep helps the brain function better.
*Sleep is also said to repair heart and blood vessels
*Studies have shown that people who sleep less are more likely
to be obese.
*It is also said to help the skin recover after exposure to
ultra violet light.
Bed making is a task which requires little care &effort.
- The bed room itself should be clean &well ventilated.
Air &light in the day time keeps away the bad odour &dampness in the
bed room.
- Paint the bed room with light colour paints. Small night
lamp can be used if needed. Have bed side switches for light, fan &AC.
- The size of the cot should be in proportionate with the
size of the room & it should provide space to move around. Never place the
cot close to the window.
- sleep placing the head in the east direction.
- Before buying the
cot &mattress ensure that they are suitable to your height &weight.
- Many varieties of mattress are available in the market.
Foam, coir or blended ones and many customised options are also on the move. Ensure
to buy the one that is more comfortable &convenient.
- Pillows too should be of reasonable height &thickness.
Make sure to place your neck properly &the pillow should support your neck
in the right way.
- Dust your bed &pillow every day. Turn mattresses
occasionally unless made of latex &plastic foam. Wash bed spread
&pillow covers every now &then.
- Bed spread should be neatly laid &surplus bedding
should be tucked in at the sides. Badly made bed can spoil the comfort of
sleeping as well as the appearance of the room. Quilt is placed on the top of
the bed spread.
-With these measures the bed is ready to offer a good night’s
sleep.
Have a shower or drink a glass of warm milk, or listen to
music or read a book –one of these are definite to bring a good night’s sleep.
