Family / Does Sleeping On A Memory Pillow Improves One’s Memory? by Y4all: 4:13pm On Sep 08, 2021
A memory pillow improves your memory indirectly by providing you with better sleep. Over the years, scientists and researchers have studied the connection between memory and sleep. It is established that the brain preserves key memories and discard excessive information during the Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) stages of your sleep. Studies also indicate that sleep deficiency and sleep could affect your cognitive functions. Therefore, a goodnight rest not only promote physical wellbeing but also helps your brain function properly. So, getting the recommended amount of sleep each night is key to consolidating our long-term memories.


It is called a memory pillow because of its ability to use your body heat to soften and mould to the shape of your head providing superb support and comfort. Specifically, its ability to change shape under pressure and return to its original shape once pressure is removed.


BENEFITS OF A MEMORY PILLOW

Comfortable sleep
Anyone who has difficulty sleeping comfortably despite investing in a comfortable mattress may be a candidate to try this pillow. A memory pillow will help you sleep better by keeping your neck and spine aligned. Having quality sleep each night will help boost your memory processes and cognitive functioning.

It gives remarkable support

Memory pillow has special chemistry that other pillows don’t have. It gives personalized support to your head and neck. This helps you sleep better and wake up fully reinvigorated the next day.


It may remedy snoring
In comparison to other pillows that force your head to tilt upwards thereby blocking air passage, resulting in snoring, this pillow keeps your head aligned with your neck and spine. Hence, helps your air passages remain open. This helps may help prevent snoring.


Memory pillow aids pressure point relief
This is one of the biggest advantages of using a memory pillow. If you suffer pains due to pressure points, using this head rest might just be the solution. The pillow provides relief for pressure points that cause pain by distributing the weight and contouring to your head.


Relief to neck pain
A memory pillow may provide relief to neck pain due to injury. It adapts to your sleep position hence providing adequate support for your neck. Also, this pillow provides enhanced cushiness to your neck in comparison to other less responsive pillows. Again, we recommend this pillow for those who suffer constant stiffness of the neck.


Breathable materials
This pillow is designed with air chambers that allow for enough flow of air that keeps the pillow cool while you sleep.


CONCLUSION
A memory pillow moulds to fit each person because of its responsive nature to body pressure and heat. The truth is not everyone may sleep comfortably on a memory pillow this is due to sensitivity to chemicals and heat absorbed. This is why it is best to get your memory pillow from a trusted dealer. Also, make sure to read the label to be clear on the pillow production and packaging material.


This pillow provides far more benefits than regular pillows. It is also cost-effective, an average memory pillow cost N6,600 while the jumbo memory cost N11,300. The price tag depends on the brand, pillow style and density.

Family / Here's Why You Talk In Your Sleep by Y4all: 5:14pm On Sep 07, 2021
Have you been told that you speak or produce unclear words while asleep? Somniloquy is the scientific name for sleep talking. Talking in your sleep can be funny, irritating or embarrassing depending on who your sleep partner is to you. Most times, it is an unconscious act that we tend to argue when confronted. Interesting most children and adolescents shouts out streams of babble late at night only to fall back to sleep. However, some adults sleep talk too. Sleep talkers mostly talk to themselves during sleep and others seem to be having a conversation with someone.


Typically, sleep talking is generally harmless and so not usually considered a medical problem. However, it can be a sign of a more serious sleep disorder or health disorder. Moreover, your sleep talking can be keeping your partner up all night and this could be embarrassing too. Imagine, you have a sleepover invite or camp to attend? Sleep talking can result in social isolation because you fear that others may become aware of your sleep disruption.

Why do you talk in your sleep?

Sleep terrors

Possibly, your sleep talking is a result of night terrors. People who experience night terrors often scream, kick and pant during sleep. These night terrors also cause some people especially children to sleepwalk.


Rem Sleep Behaviour disorder (RBD)

RBD is a sleep disorder in which you physically act out vivid, often unpleasant dreams with vocal sounds and sudden, often violent arm and legs movements during REM sleep. A person RBD may demonstrate the following behaviours while sleeping: talking, yelling, shouting, laughing, punching and kicking, cursing and so forth.  In some cases, people with RBD may injure themselves or their sleep partner as a result of dramatically or violently acting out their dreams. Another symptom of REM sleep disorder is being able to recall the dream if you wake up during this period. We recommend you visit the doctor if you have a similar experience.


Medications & Alcohol

Rem Sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) may be an adverse reaction to certain medications. Medications that incite muscle tone during sleep rapid eye movement sleep makes it possible to talk in your sleep.  Also, some medications such as antidepressants can also trigger sleep talking. Similarly, with alcohol in your system, you are most likely to have night terrors that can result in sleep talking. 

Emotional & Physical Stress

In comparison to children, most adults sleep talk due to physical and emotional stress.

Fever
People who are suffering from high fever tend to sleep talk. So, in this case, treating the fever would be a solution to sleep talking.


Mental health disorder 

Sleep talking occurs more often in people with mental health disorders. More specifically, it is frequently linked to people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, people who suffer from depression are most likely to sleep talk.


How to determine the severity of sleep talking
Sleep talk severity is determined by how frequently it occurs:

• Mild
When you sleep talk once a month you may not need to worry as this does not pose a threat to your health or others.
• Moderate
In this case, you sleep talk once a week but not every night. Again, the talking doesn’t disrupt the sleep of others in your room.
• Extreme
When sleep talking happens every time and interferes with the sleep of others, this calls for urgent concern and we recommend you see a doctor ASAP.


Lifestyle changes to help if you talk in your sleep

Avoid completely or limit your intake of alcohol
Avoid late-night feeding and heavy meals close to bedtime
Reduce stress-inducing activities
Create and stick to a healthy bedtime routine.  Read Also: How to know you have a sleep disorder


BOTTOMLINE


There’s no known treatment for sleep talking, but a visit to a sleep expert or doctor would help you manage the condition. Especially if your sleep talking is severe and it’s affecting the quality of sleep you and your sleep partner gets. Besides, it could result in social isolation and this may not be good for your well-being.

Family / The Best Mattress For Pregnant Women In Nigeria: Dual Side Mattress by Y4all: 2:33pm On Sep 03, 2021
Most women experiences sleep problems during pregnancy. Certain factors can contribute to this: anxiety, excitement, physical discomfort and fluctuating hormones. Notably, changes in hormones and recommended sleep positions can affect the sleep need of pregnant women. Some days, they sleep comfortably on a soft mattress, other times the firm support of a hard mattress is all they need. It could be frustrating to know that your one-sided mattress only provides one type of support: it’s either soft or firm.


It could be frustrating to know that you are limited to the same type of comfort. Some pregnant women resort to sleeping on the hard floor to suit their body need. This could result in occasional discomfort due to aches and pain associated with sleeping on an uncomfortable surface. This is why we recommend the Winco dual side mattress for pregnant women.

WHY WINCO DUAL SIDE MATTRESS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

The Winco dual side mattress is designed to provide two types of support and comfort to users. It is designed with high-density foam on one side and orthopaedic foam on the other side. So, you get dual comfort from one mattress. Therefore, you can switch the Winco dual side mattress to your preferred body need.


Winco dual side mattress relieves back and joint pain


Remember, one side is made of orthopaedic foam and the other medium-firm foam. Orthopaedic mattresses are recommended for chronic back and joint pain. It is not uncommon to have backaches during pregnancy. This is because the ligaments in your body become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour. This puts a strain on your lower back and pelvis resulting in back pain. Thankfully, You have an orthopaedic and regular mattress in one purchase.


It’s flippable
You are at leverage to choose or change your mattress feel. So, as your body needs changes, you have the option of switching your mattress. The orthopaedic side of the mattress will provide very firm support for your growing bumps, especially in your second and third semesters.

It’s flexible
In comparison to the one-sided mattress, this mattress suits different sleep preferences. For instance, pregnant women in their first trimester will enjoy the medium-soft support of the Winco dual side mattress, while in their second and third trimester, they can switch to the firm size due to increasing body weight.

Provides adequate support and comfort
Pregnant women gain more weight as they advance their due date, this is because of the growing fetus. So, you will need a supportive and comfortable mattress to help you have a good night sleep. This mattress aids even weight distribution and better spinal alignment providing you with the comfort and support you need.

Firmness
Most pregnant women get up more than 3 times every night to urinate. Getting up would be difficult on a soft bed. However, the Winco dual side mattress is strong enough to support your weight, so you will not feel like you sink into the bed. It will also help relieve pressure on the hips and lower back.

Promotes quality sleep for you and your partner

Not only will you sleep better on the Winco dual side mattress, but your partner also will too. This mattress isolates motion, your partner's sleep will not be disrupted by your frequent trips to the bathroom.

It outlasts your pregnancy
The Winco Dual side mattress has a 5 years warranty period. Therefore, you will use this mattress even after your pregnancy. The mattress is highly durable and affordable and is ideal for everyone.


Research has shown that lack of sleep during pregnancy is linked to a number of complications including preeclampsia which is a leading cause of maternal and infant illness/death. Having quality sleep during pregnancy is a necessity and not optional. Although, it can be difficult to get quality sleep during pregnancy. This is because factors such as physical discomfort, fluctuating hormones, the nervousness and excitement about being a mum can lead to sleep problems in pregnancy.

BOTTOM LINE
[/b]Sleeping on a suitable mattress will help relieve the pain and discomfort that comes with pregnancy. Therefore, if your current mattress does not provide the needed comfort and support for your growing bumps, you should consider getting a Winco dual side mattress that will help you get a good night sleep and reduce fatigue.

Family / 6 Reasons You Are Always Tired All The Time by Y4all: 3:32pm On Aug 25, 2021
It can be really frustrating to feel exhausted a few hours into the day. Some people always feel tired on a regular basis. This results in daytime sleepiness, lack of productivity and reduced efficiency. Many factors can be contributing to your lack of daytime energy and sleepiness especially when you are not pregnant.

Here are 6 possible reasons you are always tired: 

Low oxygen or ventilation level in your bedroom.

Many of us enjoy a private, quiet room at night-close the windows, the doors and wrap ourselves in a thick duvet. While this may look cosy, it is not advisable. The findings from a study on how bedroom air quality affects Sleep and next-day performance shows that people who close their window sleep in a poorly ventilated bedroom feel groggier and lack the ability to concentrate the next day. However, when oxygen levels and fresh air content in your bedroom is adequate, it results in the following:

Improved sleep quality

You feel better the next day, less sleepy, and more able to concentrate

Your performance on a test of logical thinking improved

We recommend you use a ceiling fan if possible because it is effective at moving warm air that gathers at the top of your room. Also, if you must keep your window closed, make it a habit to open your windows first thing
in the morning.

Poor diet

Fatigue is most times a result of lifestyle choices such as your eating habit. If you regularly skip meals, you will constantly feel tired because of the lack of calories to boost your energy level. Not eating enough, or observing long gaps between meals can reduce your blood sugar, decreasing your energy. Do not skip meals, eat a balanced diet at the right time (at least three times a day) and proportion. Also, you can eat a healthy energy-boosting snack.

Lack of Exercise

You have the tendency to always feel tired if you do not exercise regularly. A lack of exercise can result in being overweight which could also be a cause for tiredness. This will make it more difficult to complete physical tasks. So, create and stick to an exercise plan, this will make you more active and alert.

Not having enough sleep

The importance of sleep cannot be overemphasized. When you have a quality night rest you will wake up fully refreshed and vitalized to take your day. But, if you are a culprit of revenge bedtime procrastination, take work
to your bedroom or do not have the recommended duration of sleep for your age, your energy level will be grossly affected. This could be the reason you are always tired. Be deliberate about your sleep and wake time, create and stick to a healthy sleep routine. Interestingly, having quality sleep also helps you lose weight. Ensure you use a quality mattress because your mattress impacts the quantity and quality of your sleep.

Stress
Stress does not only make you tired, it also causes headaches, stomach problems and muscle tensions. When you are stressed, your body releases an increased amount of cortisol and adrenaline to respond to the situation. However, in the case of chronic or prolonged stress, your body will be affected, this will leave you exhausted. As a solution, limit your activities to order of priorities, set SMART goals and always create time for relaxation.

Dehydration
Your body needs water to work well. Dehydration can trigger feelings of tiredness thereby reducing your body’s ability to perform optimally. Some of the signs of dehydration are dark yellow and strong-smelling urine, dry mouth, feeling dizzy or lightheaded and tired. If you are always tired, increasing your fluid intake especially water to keep you hydrated may just be the solution.

Family / How You Can Benefit From Mattress Swap by Y4all: 3:22pm On Aug 23, 2021
Mattress swap is the act of exchanging an old, used, uncomfortable and non-functional mattress for a brand new one. Our Mattresses tend to lose their value with time just as a brand new car loses value almost immediately after driving it off a dealer’s lot. A mattress can begin to lose shape, sag and wear.  This affects the level of comfort and support you get from it and negatively impacts the quality of sleep you get. Ideally, you know right away that you have to get a new mattress ASAP. So, what happens to your old mattress?

As a way of getting rid of the old, you may attempt to sell your used. Sounds like a great idea right? However, the truth is that not many people are interested in buying a used mattress because of its cleanliness. Interestingly, from the data obtained from Google trends we observed that compared to other home furniture such as chairs and tables, less than 10% of customers are interested in used mattresses. Besides, even if there’s a buyer you won’t get much for the mattress because it will be underpriced simply because it is used.

Similarly, it is not healthy to buy used mattresses, it is akin to buying the dust mites, saliva, dead skin, body oil, dirt, pain, discomfort and other problems that come with using an old, worn-out mattress. Sounds disgusting, isn’t it? Besides, there are quality and affordable mattresses in Nigeria. You don’t have to break the bank to get a quality mattress. You can buy one now.

HERE’S HOW YOU COULD BENEFIT FROM AN OLD, USED, UNCOMFORTAB[/b]LE AND NON-FUNCTIONAL MATTRESS

[b]SWAP IT FOR A BRAND NEW ONE


Rather than have your old mattress collect dust and occupy valuable space, become a hideout for rodents and other harmful pests that can pose potential health risks to you and your loved ones. Also, swap your mattress for a brand new one if it is no longer supportive and comfortable.

Here’s how you can make money off mattress swap

Mattress swap is the most profitable alternative to discarding or replacing your old mattress. First, if you are discarding a mattress that is occupying valuable space, you will have a brand new mattress or other bedding product equivalent to the value of your old mattress which will be more valuable to you.

Now, if you replace your unsupportive and uncomfortable mattress you will have a brand new mattress. The mattress will be equivalent to the value of your old mattress. Also, you can add extra money to augment the value of your old mattress in order to get your desired brand new mattress. Typically, you will save more money. Rather than paying fully for a brand new mattress, you will spend a few bucks of money against the original cost of the mattress.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR OLD MATTRESS AFTER THE SWAP

Your old mattress will not be refurbished, sold, trashed or burnt. Rather, your used mattress is recycled to provide a more sustainable and eco-friendly environment. Notably, only a few mattress brands in Nigeria offer the mattress swap service. Winco foam is popularly known to currently offer the mattress swap service.


How the Winco foam swap service works

Your old mattress will be measured to ascertain its weight in Kilograms

You would be offered a mattress or any bed other bedding product worth the monetary value of your old mattress

While your old mattress is carted away for recycling.

All brands of mattresses can be swapped for a brand new Winco foam mattress or bedding product.

It is important to note that you are to pay or add money to measure up to the price of the new mattress if the monetary value of your old mattress does not completely offset the bill for a new mattress or any bedding product.

BOTTOMLINE 

Individuals and organizations such as hotels, schools with boarding facilities and hotels can save more money, upgrade the comfort, and support their mattress provides through mattress swap.

Family / How To Know You Are Sleeping Too Much by Y4all: 12:08pm On Aug 20, 2021
Sleeping too much is bad for your health, it increases your risk of depression, dementia, Kidney and liver diseases, diabetes, stroke, heart conditions and even death. The amount of sleep you need depends on your age, activities and lifestyle. However, it is recommended that an adult gets 7-9 hours of sleep every day for optimum performance and overall wellbeing. For adults, sleeping too much is when you sleep for more than 9 hours in 24 hours.

Some people who sleep 10-12hours and more per night to feel refreshed suffer from hypersomnia. This condition is triggered when you do not get enough sleep regularly. Your body tries to make up for sleep lost by oversleeping.

 Sleeping is good and helps you perform optimally but too much sleep or long sleeping is bad.

Here’s how to know you are sleeping too much:

Memory problems

Just because you are at leverage to sleep for 10-hours or more doesn’t mean you should. New research found that sleeping for more than 9 hours a night could be an early sign of dementia. So, if you are struggling with concentration, a hazy memory or a thinking problem it could possibly be a symptom of oversleeping. Read also: How poor sleep habits can increase your risk of having dementia

Head Aches

Sleeping too much is a common trigger for headaches.  According to scientific research, oversleeping has an effect on the neurotransmitters in your brain, specifically serotonin.  Serotonin signals our body to wake up and to fall asleep. Unfortunately, long sleeping can disrupt your sleep cycle. People who sleep in at weekends, vacations, and day or at nighttime suffer headaches because of this. If you frequently suffer headaches you should check for a lack of sleep or too much sleep.

Excessively tired

Oversleeping induces a sense of fatigue. When you sleep too much, your energy level will be low and you might find yourself dragging the next day and too unmotivated to work.  Therefore, do not be surprised if you feel less refreshed and energized after sleeping longer than usual. Again, if you experience excessive daytime tiredness or fatigue, it might just be that you’ve been snoozing too much.

Anxiety

Long sleeping is not a luxury, it can mess up your health.  If you constantly feel anxious, guilty and irritable after long hours of sleep, it is a sign that you are oversleeping.

Depression and mood changes

A study shows that people who sleep longer than 8 hours can experience depression more than people who sleep 8 hours or fewer. However, oversleeping can be a sign of depression, yet in other cases sleeping too much could lead to depression. This sometimes makes you stay in bed to sleep more. Similarly, if you are easily irritated, exhibit rude behaviours and switch moods often it could be a sign of oversleeping. Read also: How poor sleep could lead to depression

Excessive daytime sleepiness

Prolonged sleeping oftentimes results in excessive daytime sleepiness or napping. Rather than a renewed energy, you feel fatigued and drowsy all day if you wake up later than usual. Hence, you will doze off on a task and even take a prolonged nap at intervals due to low energy.

Family / 6 Quick And Easy Ways To Get Better Sleep by Y4all: 12:31pm On Aug 19, 2021
Getting better sleep is the best reward to give your body at the end of each day’s hustle.  Interestingly, no matter what pleasurable activity you indulge in, your body still needs and craves quality sleep to serve you better the next day. Research has shown that sleep deficiency has an effect on your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

In today’s busy world, many people boast of having a low quantity and quality of sleep. Unfortunately, poor sleep contributes to the increase in chronic illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart conditions and so forth. If you want to live healthily and lose weight getting quality sleep should be a top priority every day.

Here are 5 quick and easy ways to get better sleep every day

Make your bedroom a sleep haven

Create a conducive sleep environment for yourself. Bedrooms are largely for rest, so remove anything that works the opposite. Neatly arrange your bedroom, remove clutters, wash and properly set your beddings. Also, choose the right bedroom colours such as blue, yellow, green and silver especially with your light bulbs. These colours lure you to sleep by reducing stress and soothing the nervous system. Again, keep your bedroom light level as low as possible. If you need light, a dim, dark and quiet bedroom will make you drowsy and fall asleep easily.

Buy a comfortable mattress and pillow

A quality mattress makes the difference between a goodnight rest and a bad one. This is because your sleep surface impacts how well you sleep. Replace your mattress if it is sagging, causes you to toss and turn all night, and does not provide adequate support and comfort for your body. A goodnight sleep is priceless and investing in a https://www.wincofoam.com/ is worth the price.

Engage in any activity that rocks your boat

There’s no one size fits all art that makes people drowsy. Some people drift to dreamland easily while reading a book while others doze off while watching a movie, chatting with friends, surfing the web,  playing a video game, listening to soothing music. Meanwhile, sex can actually make it easier to fall asleep.  This is because intimacy releases hormones such as oxytocin that facilitates sleep. READ ALSO: How your mattress affects your sex life

Regulate your food habit

First, avoid late-night feeding, this will make you struggle to fall and remain asleep. Studies have shown that eating late at night results in several gastric issues that will make you toss and turn frequently. By late-night, we mean meals close to bedtime or 2 hours before bedtime, say goodnight to late-night feeding Similarly, reduce the quantity of food you consume before bedtime.

Besides, do not take alcohol, caffeine and other psychoactive drugs before bedtime. It is important you note that contrary to popular erroneous belief, alcohol is not a sleep aid.

Additionally, regulate your intake of water and other liquid before you sleep. Drinking large amounts of liquid before bedtime will increase your bathroom trip. This will disrupt the amount of sleep you will get, you can limit your fluid intake to an hour before bedtime. Also, we recommend that you urinate right before going to bed, this will reduce your chances of waking up at night. Read Also: List of foods that sabotage your sleep

Have a refreshing bath

Taking a relaxing bath before you sleep will help you enjoy better sleep. A study shows that a hot bath 90 minutes before bedtime will help change your body’s core temperature so that you go to bed at a lower temperature. However, if taking a cold or warm bath works well for you, then stick to it.

Relax

You’ve had a hectic day and truly deserve rest. Do not stress yourself by reflecting on the negatives of the day. Clear your mind, shut down all work-related activities, do what makes you happy and reduces anxiety.

You can also do this manually by pulling the fillings apart by hand, after drying of course. undecided

Great! The point is if your pillow emits a foul odour even after washing it, causes allergies and doesn't provide adequate support for your neck and head, you should replace it. Besides, they are really affordable pillows out there, meanwhile, it depends on what you want and your capacity smiley

Family / How To Know Your Pillow Is Dead by Y4all: 11:38am On Aug 18, 2021
Getting rid of a pillow can be a difficult decision for some people. While others honestly forget to replace their pillow. However, the sad truth is that pillows don’t last forever and continuous use of your pillow can ruin your health. Just like mattresses, pillows play a significant role in the quality of sleep you get. A quality pillow helps in maintaining proper spinal alignment when you’re sleeping. But when you get the opposite of comfort on your pillow, then it’s time to replace your pillow. Replacing your pillows has more to do with the condition of your pillow.

So, how do you know that your pillow is dead and needs a replacement?

It folds easily in the centre

Your pillow is dead If it stays folded in the centre where your head rests even after you take your head off, it’s a clear sign that your pillow is broken down. This means that your pillow is worn out and would no longer provide adequate support. Unless your pillow is originally flat. Yet at the course of use, if it becomes too flat that it stays folded in half, it’s time to shop for a new pillow.

You wake with neck and headache

A dead pillow could be the reason for your constant neck and head pain. Especially the pain you feel when you wake up. A pillow is designed to support you during slumber, but if you could begin to suffer stiffness or pain in the neck, pain or even headache, your pillow could be the enemy. You should consider replacing your pillow with a quality one

It emits Foul smell

Despite washing or sun drying your pillow, you notice it smells so bad that you would rather snooze without a pillow, then it's time to change your pillow. The odour could be due to accumulated sweat, heat, saliva, and other body fluid. If the smell makes resting your head on your pillow uncomfortable, then you should switch your pillow immediately.

Your pillow has obvious lumps

Noticeable lumps in a pillow is a sign that your pillow has served you enough and so needs to be thrashed. Regardless of the content of the pillow; foam crumbs, fibre and so forth, if it gets lumpy it would reduce the support and overall comfort you would get from the pillow.

You’ve used it for a long time

You should consider getting a new pillow today if you have been using your pillow for over 2years. This is because of the number of dust mites possibly sharing the pillow with you. Also, dust mites could trigger allergies. Besides, there are https://www.wincofoam.com/product-category/pillows/

You experience allergy symptoms

Allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy red or watery eye, nasal congestion, facial pressure and pain, cough and so forth are often caused by dust mites that feed on dead skin cells, dirt and oil on your pillow and mattress. So, if you frequently sneeze or suffer from one or more of these allergies, you should seriously change your pillow ASAP.

You constantly adjust your pillow

If despite being sleepy you constantly rearrange or adjust your pillow to get more comfortable, then you need a high-quality, supportive pillow. By support, we mean that your pillow should help you have a more undisturbed sleep.

Family / Why Should You Quit Revenge Bedtime Procrastination? by Y4all: 12:44pm On Aug 09, 2021
Many Nigerians are guilty of revenge bedtime procrastination and you are probably a culprit. your daytime hectic schedule; from navigating the frustrating traffic congestion in some cities, meeting the demands and pressures at work, followed by cooking, cleaning, helping kids with homework and getting them ready for bed, at the end you’re drained, however, you crave a time for yourself to unwind. So, you decide to sacrifice sleep for some “me” time by scrolling through your phone for the latest news and movies, watching your favourite TV show, playing video games or chatting with friends on social media before bed or while you are in bed. This is revenge bedtime procrastination (RBD).

RBD is a tendency to put off sleep to focus on yourself at the end of a busy day and regain some sense of freedom. It is revenge because you decide to entertain yourselves at night to make up for the long stressful work hours that left you with little or no time for personal pleasure. So, you try to make up for the lack of free time during the day by staying up later at night and procrastinating your sleep time.  Consequently, this affects the amount of sleep you get and your overall physical, mental and emotional health.

Most times, these activities you engage in before bedtime are unnecessary and not a valid reason to stay up later than your bedtime.

CONSEQUENCES OF REVENGE BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION

Staying awake when you ought to be sleeping will reduce the quantity of sleep you get. This in a long run can result in sleep deprivation. Having quality sleep helps your body perform optimally and prevents so many diseases. Similarly, insufficient sleep has been associated with a number of health problems.

Insufficient sleep can result in cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, heart failure and so forth. Also, you are at the risk of having metabolic illnesses like type 2 diabetics and stroke.

Also, lack of quality sleep has been linked to poor mental or cognitive processes such as thinking, remembering, problem-solving and decision making.  This can disrupt your productivity level.

Daytime sleepiness is another consequence of revenge bedtime procrastination. So, you lose concentration at work or in school resulting in low performance and academic achievement. In addition, you also risk getting involved in accidents due to drowsy driving.

Similarly, sleep deprivation is connected to mental disorders for example depression and anxiety. Also, lack of adequate sleep causes moodiness. Read also: How to know you have a sleep disorder

HOW TO QUIT REVENGE BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION

Create and stick to a nighttime routine

This is the first step to overcoming revenge bedtime procrastination. Creating good sleep habits will reduce the impulse to stay awake later than designed. Consistently follow your schedule so your body adjusts to your sleep process, this will make you fall asleep even when you decide to procrastinate sleep. Here are healthy sleep routines you should practices

Sleep and wake up at the same time every day even on weekends.

Avoid late-night feeding and heavy meals before bedtime

Do not take alcohol or caffeine hours into bedtime, note that alcohol is not a sleep aid.

Put our phone or tablet away 2 hours before bedtime, this includes other electronic devices.

Have a refreshing bath.

Read also: 8 Sleep hacks to help you fall asleep faster

Cultivate discipline

Poor self-discipline can be responsible for your inability to put away your phone while in bed or stick to your sleep schedule regardless. Sleep is the best and most effective form of relaxation.  In fact, after a stressful day, you should unwind by indulging inadequate sleep rather than other unnecessary activities that steal your sleep time.

Create a conducive sleep environment

Let your bedroom be a sleep haven. Put off every source of blue lights: television screens, phones, tablets, this is because blue lights make you more alert and awake rather than sleepy. In addition, Remove clutter and any other distractions such as loud music. Make your bedroom inviting for sleep. Keep it dark and quiet. Get a very comfortable mattress and pillow that adequately supports your neck, spine and overall body. Again, ensure your beddings are clean and inviting. You should drift to dreamland minutes in bed.

[b]Manage your stressors[/b]

Reduce your workload if possible and cut down on activities that leave you exhausted. We recommend you reduce your work hours to at least 7 pm so you can have enough time to rest and unwind. Do not work up to your bedtime, this gives room to revenge bedtime procrastination. 

Relax

Bedtime is not a time to take stock of your life, what is working and not. It’s a time to sleep, and even if you want to reflect on your life,  think about the beautiful memories, write out the things you are grateful for and take note of what went right. This will help you fall asleep quickly because pleasurable memories release happy hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin.

Family / Which Of These Sleep Mistakes Will You Make? by Y4all: 11:26am On Aug 05, 2021
There is nothing more refreshing than having a quality sleep at the end of a busy day. But sometimes you engage in certain behaviours that are actually sabotaging the quality and quantity of the sleep you get. The result is that you wake up tired and exhausted.  Expectedly, during the course of your day’s activity, you will be irritable, dizzy, unable to focus on tasks, and easily tired. Over time, your lack of quality sleep could result in chronic health problems such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart failure and so forth associated with sleep deficiency. Unfortunately, these sleep mistakes also could shorten your life expectancy.

So, which of these sleep mistakes are you guilty of?

Revenge bedtime procrastination

Why are you seeking revenge by procrastinating your sleep? So, because you lacked free time during the day, you were busy with work and couldn’t catch up with friends and loved ones on social media, you decided to stay up late into the night. For some people, watching a favourite TV show or movie, playing video games, reading or gisting with a bed mate.
