In a world where hustle culture prevails and to-do lists reign, we often overlook sleep. Sleep, or lack thereof, could dictate your mood, relationships, job performance, and affect the immune system. It is one of the most beneficial things you could do — if done right.
Adults need to recharge for seven to nine hours. If insufficient or interrupted, sleep won’t be as effective, so it’s imperative to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
To succeed, studies show that all it takes is to set the mood like:
- Air qualify
- Temperature
- Breathing
- Timing
- Light and space
- Physical activity
- Food
- Good mood
All these things that could be achieved through simple habit changes except air qualify. Aquiring clean air is not as easy.
Pollutants indoors are more concentrated than outdoors because of lack of ventilation, and pathogens emitted from machines and cleaning supplies. Breathing these in could not only disrupt your sleep with incessant coughing, but also cause serious respiratory problems. Try to keep those snores in check and get a good night’s rest with these tips:
Defeat dust in your room
Keep your bedroom free of any invisible pollutants floating in your home such as dust, pet dander, mould, and smoke particles to prevent blocked airways, especially during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stages of your sleep. This is where breathing deepens and cognitive abilities are improved.
Rest easy with the UltimateHome 300 Air Purifier’s five-step filtration system that thoroughly captures these along with odours and other harmful airborne substances. Its UV light layer also removes 99.99% of bacteria so you’re ensured a continuous and healthier sleep.
Keep air moving
A well-ventilated room helps you sleep faster, and it can also positively impact your next-day performance, a study suggested, so it’s recommended to keep a window open while you get some shuteye.
Let the UltimateHome 500 do the job so you avoid uncomfortable drafts or outside pollutants. Its spiral outlet creates a robust whirl to efficiently distribute clean, filtered air in your room.
No noise allowed
Not only can noise disturb you from falling asleep, it can also prevent you from getting quality snooze. The sounds that don’t wake you can still shift your sleep stage to a lighter one, resulting in a fragmented sleep pattern, irritability, and poorer mental state the next day.
While we can’t fully eliminate noise, using earplugs and turning off electronics are a great start. Investing in appliances that produce less sound can also help, like the UltimateHome 500 that you can set to Sleep Mode for a barely noticeable hum even at maximum speed.
Build an evening routine
Before turning in for bed, slowly wind down to condition your mind that it’s time for rest. This may include a shower, skincare, or reading a book. Whatever gets you sleepy quicker, the better.
Include activating your UltimateHome 500 in your routine since its intuitive touch user interface makes it easier for you to adjust the air quality to your liking. With a few taps, you’re ready for bed.
Before following these tips, the first step to good sleep is knowing that you need it. Try making small lifestyle changes to prioritise it, like using the right technology, such as the UltimateHome 500, so you can easily and effectively rest — because sleep is for the wise, not the weak.
