O. How life has changed in my thirties. Two weeks since I turned 35 and now all I focus on is how I can make my life simpler and sleep sounder. This week is the 'Sleep Awareness Week' (March 6th -13th) and seems like the right time to share why and how we have made sleep a priority in our household.
If you want good skin - sleep, if you want good health - sleep, if you want to lose weight - sleep, if you want to live long - sleep ( para-phrasing Britney Spear's popular song 'Work B*itch' ). I started focusing on sleep early. For the past five years my husband and I plan our whole day to ensure we can get (about) eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. We start our day early. On some days we get straight to work and on other days we get in our workout first thing in the morning. It changes on daily basis as per our work schedules. But what does not change is our evening routine. Here's what we do:
Plan our meals: We usually plan our meals once a week to take the thought and uncertainty out of the routine. It not only saves us time, but also helps us stick to our healthy eating habits. We usually have our dinner around 6:00pm.
Time to unwind: After our meal we spend time catching up on the previous night's shows on our DVR. That is our daily dose of entertainment. We love watching television and movies. You can say they are third on our list of priority after working-out and sleep.
Catch up on news or read: Then we head to our zen zone: bedroom! We spend about an hour reading (me: books, him: news on phone). This is the only time I find to read a book. I try my best to squeeze it in, no matter what. Sleep time: Around 9:30pm - 10:00pm we call it a night and get comfortable in our new plush mattress Sapira ™. Now of course, we have been sleeping at the same time and following the same routine for past five years but it was not until last 2 weeks that we have had a sound sleep. For the past fortnight, we have been looking forward to wrapping-up our day (asap) and getting into our bed simply to enjoy the luxury of our mattress!
The Sapira™ is the first luxury hybrid mattress which is delivered in a box directly to your home. It is a perfect fusion of pocket springs and high performance foams that possibly deliver the best sleep experience in the world for a surprisingly low price. Sapira™ is part of Leesa's industry leading social impact program. They donate 1 for every 10 mattresses sold, plant a tree for every mattress sold, and support the community. You simply take the mattress out of the box, and put it on the bed frame.
What I truly appreciate about Sapira™ is that they allow you to try out the mattress for 100 nights and provide hassle free returns. That shows how confident they are about their product. It has been a remarkable experience. If you are looking for a sound sleep or just a new mattress I would strong recommend you to try Sapira ™ out for yourselves!
Believe it or not, prepping for a good rest starts at meal time and ends with a proper mattress.
