Get back to 100
Sleeping is recharging. Just like you want your phone to be at 100 percent in the morning, your body needs to be ready for everything the new day holds. And when life comes at you from every direction, it’s hard to get as much sleep as you want. Make every minute count with a bed from Jensen.
The sleep that makes your day
Our mission is to help people sleep better – so they can perform at their peak. For more than 75 years, we’ve strived to make beds that adapt to your body and increase the quality of your sleep. But we don’t stop at making quality beds. We offer you a complete range of accessories and products, together with the routines that improve your sleep health. This includes guiding you to better habits throughout the different phases of your wake/sleep cycle: Wake-up, Awake, Wind down and Asleep
3 routines that help return your energy. Read about the routines here
1. Use a wake-up light as a morning alarm
Use a wake-up light as a morning alarm instead of your mobile or traditional alarm clock. A sudden alarm wakes you up abruptly, whereas a wake-up light wakes you up gradually over 20-30 minutes time by increasing brightness in your bedroom. This time period helps you increase your cortisol-level which suppresses residual melatonin – and you leave the bed with more energy and feeling recuperated and rejuvenated.
2. Spend time in the outdoors
Spend at least half an hour outdoors every day: take a walk, run or exercise. Leave your sunglasses off, so light directly hits your eyes. Even cloudy days expose you to greater intensity of light than the average office does. If you’re outdoors towards the late afternoon it’s good to wear a dark sunglass to avoid strong exposure to sunlight. This will not only help you in resetting your circadian clock but also help you in bringing down your stress level.
3. Take a hot bath or shower before bed
Take a hot shower or bath one two hours before bed. You can add Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) to your bath, which infuses rest-inducing and muscle-relaxing magnesium into your tissues. This helps mitigate stress and inflammation. You can also add lavender oil, a tried-and-tested classic, which helps you relax and shift into a ‘rest-and-digest mode’ making you fall asleep faster.
A hot shower or bath makes your core temperature drop as your blood rushes from the inner parts of the body to your periphery. The drop may help you feel sleepy, while the bath itself can help you relax and wind down, so you are ready to sleep. It helps trigger sleep because a cooling body temperature is a natural part of your sleep rhythm.
