Rested Sleep Engineering

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Remembering your dreams is a sign of good sleep’ – This is a myth because all of us do experience dreams four to five times a night and we don't remember because we've not woken up and disrupted our sleep.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Hitting snooze is great! No need to get up right away’ - Resist the temptation to snooze, because unfortunately, your body will go back to sleep… a very light, low-quality sleep.

#NEWPRODUCT The Sleep Robot’s ergonomic shape has been designed in quality material to allow you to comfortably place it on your chest, wrap your arms around it & hug it. With sounds, in combination with following its breathing rhythm, your body will achieve full relaxation ensuring you go to sleep faster, longer & wake up refreshed.

#NEWPRODUCT We are delighted to launch a brand-new product this month – the Somnex Sleep Robot. It promises to be the perfect sleep companion and is a tech-lovers dream! It combines comfort, affection, breathing and sound as four key elements to a good night’s sleep.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘It doesn't matter what time of day you sleep’ - It is in fact recommended that people have a regular sleep schedule because it controls what we call the biological clock, or circadian rhythm, of the body.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘It's healthy to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime’ - Falling asleep instantly anywhere, anytime, is a sign that you are not getting enough sleep and you're falling into 'micro sleeps' or mini-sleep episodes. It means your body is so exhausted that whenever it has a moment, it's going to start to repay its sleep debt.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Drinking alcohol before bed helps you fall sleep’ - Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but that's where the benefits end. Instead, it traps you in the lighter stages of sleep and dramatically reduces the quality of your rest at night.

#SUMMERISCOMING Bedding is the first thing we think to change when the summer months creep in; but what we wear in bed is just as important. Make sure you’re prepared for the warmer nights with our Dagsmejan Balance range made from fabric 6 times more breathable than cotton.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Snoring, although annoying, is mostly harmless’ - Unfortunately this is not always the case as loud, raucous snores interrupted by pauses in breathing is a marker for sleep apnea, a sleep disorder.

#SUMMERISCOMING Don’t just rely on the sun to brighten up your bedroom for the Summer; why not inject some colour with new bed linen. Our Auping range is bold and vibrant and moves away from the more traditional, subtle designs.

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Your brain and body can adapt to less sleep’ - Your body cycles through four distinct phases of sleep to fully restore itself. A good night's sleep gives your sleep cycle time to repeat.

#SUMMERISCOMING …..and the answer is the ‘Camel Duvet’ which has been designed for year round use due to its thermoregulating properties. Its encased in the most luxurious of pure cotton sateen outer cases, is lightweight, drapes well, and keeps you feeling ‘just the right temperature’ due to its performance properties.

#SUMMERISCOMING Did you know that camels are the one animal that faces the greatest fluctuation of temperature both on a seasonal and daily/nightly basis and they are supremely adapted for this purpose?
I know what you’re thinking; what do camels have to do with sleep….

#SUMMERISCOMING We’ve been blessed with some gorgeous early Summer weather and it looks like there is plenty more to come. As the nights get warmer we start kicking off the winter duvet and think about changing to a summer one instead….but what if there was another solution?

#SLEEPMYTHS ‘Adults need five or fewer hours of sleep’ - Extensive evidence shows that sleeping five hours a night or less, consistently, greatly increases your risk for adverse health consequences, including cardiovascular disease and early mortality.

#TOPTIP14 Should pets be banned from the bedroom? The bad news - letting a furry friend sleep on the bed or under the covers does disrupt humans' sleep quality. The good news - a pet sleeping at the foot of the bed doesn't have an adverse effect on its owner's sleep.

#TOPTIP13 A study found that six minutes immersed in a book lowered heart rates and eased muscle tension. Reading is one of the best and fastest methods to de-stress at bedtime.

#TOPTIP12 Oxford University researchers asked one group of insomniacs to count sheep. A second group were told to imagine a 'happy place' or a relaxing scene. The 'happy place' insomniacs drifted off 20 minutes sooner than the sheep-counters.
