Four nighttime habits for revitalizing rest.

Small adjustments in the nighttime routine and environment can transform sleep, enhancing daily well-being and balance.

Achieving restful sleep has become an essential priority for those aiming to balance their personal well-being with optimal performance in their day-to-day lives. Sleep not only allows for energy recovery, but also directly impacts physical, mental, and emotional health. Prioritizing rest is investing in quality of life and the ability to face daily challenges with vitality and focus.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults should sleep between six and seven hours each night, following regular schedules. However, 48% of the adult population in Spain fails to achieve this quality of sleep, according to data from the Spanish Society of Neurology. This percentage shows how stress and modern habits make it difficult to achieve truly restorative rest.

In this context, establishing an effective nighttime routine is key to achieving restful sleep. Incorporating healthy habits improves sleep quality and enhances overall well-being. Hästens, a Swedish company specializing in luxury handmade beds since 1852, shares four recommendations to optimize nights, combining exclusivity and comfort:

1. Limit the use of electronic devices before bed. The blue light from screens disrupts melatonin production, the hormone that regulates sleep. To avoid interruptions in rest, it is recommended to reduce or eliminate device use at least an hour before bedtime and opt for relaxing activities such as reading a good book.
2. Avoid intense exercise before bed. While exercise is essential for a healthy lifestyle, engaging in intense physical activities at night can hinder sleep by raising heart rate and adrenaline levels. It is recommended to exercise during the day or opt for gentle practices like yoga or stretching at night, which promote relaxation and restful sleep.
3. Create an ideal sleep environment. The key is a serene and cool bedroom, accompanied by a high-end bed that guarantees comfort and stability. Investing in quality can make all the difference. Hästens suggests choosing models like the Hästens 2000T collection, which combines natural materials like wool and cotton to offer personalized rest, merging comfort, support, and exclusivity.
4. Practice relaxation techniques before bed. Incorporating activities like meditation or a hot bath can be an excellent prelude to restful sleep. Committing twenty minutes to meditation an hour before bed helps clear the mind and reduce tensions accumulated during the day.

«Quality rest not only improves health, but completely transforms our day-to-day living. At Hästens, we believe that sleeping well is an essential habit, which is why our products are designed to offer a unique and revitalizing sleep experience,» says Carmen del Cid, Sales Director at Hästens Madrid.

Restful sleep is much more than the foundation of a balanced lifestyle; it is an essential luxury that every wellness enthusiast should afford themselves. Prioritizing these habits and creating an exclusive environment for rest will not only elevate your quality of life, but also enhance your performance, offering you a unique experience every night.
