Catch Some Zzz’s: How To Sleep Better and Combat Jet Lag

Beat Jet Lag with a Better Mattress

As we hit the midpoint of summer, many Americans are returning from their travels – both domestic and abroad – and are suffering the consequences of jet lag. According to a recent AAA survey, cited in this article (April 2016), more than one-third of Americans (35%) are planning to take a family vacation of 50 miles or more away from involving two or more immediate family members in the next 12 months. All of those miles traversed, coupled with changes in time zones results in exhaustion, irritability, and irregular sleep. So what’s the solution? In addition to the steps we’ve outlined in this blog, having a comfortable mattress to come home to is a huge plus. The mattresses we offer here at Scripps Natural feature unrivaled comfort to get you the sleep you need and get back on track.

Minimize Jet Lag While Traveling

For the duration of your journey there are some concrete steps you can take to diminish the effects of jet lag. We’ve focused on the most effective for this list:

1. Hydrate – feeling fresh is hard to do when you’re in the middle of a 10-hour layover in some far-off land. Air travel is particularly punishing on our systems, as lack of humidity in the pressurized cabin driest out mucous membranes, making it harder for your system to flush out germs. Bring an empty bottle through security and fill it up as soon as you are through. Drink it before and during your flight, and be sure to ask the flight attendant to fill it often for you!
2. Stay Awake Until Your Normal Bedtime – while it can be extremely tempting to hit the hay as soon as you land, resist! Sleeping right away will throw off your circadian rhythms even more and make it that much harder to adjust to your new location.
3. Create a Cool, Dark Space for Sleep – close those hotel blinds, and dress in loose fitting, comfortable clothing to maximize your time in bed. The better sleep you get, the better you’ll feel the next day when you’re taking in the sights and sounds of your vacation spot!

Keep it Simple: A Comfortable Mattress for a Good Night’s Sleep

A Natural Mattress For Better Sleep

There are numerous ways in which Americans are striving to live healthier lives. From stricter diets, to rigorous workout routines, to better sleep habits. Much of the population has taken to their mobile phones in the form of apps to help them better track their progress and monitor their efforts. Apps that track caloric intake, steps walked, and the quality of sleep have only grown in popularity in recent years, and there appears to be no sign of them slowing down.

While an app that monitors your level of sleep quality is certainly a nice thing to have, it cannot replace the many benefits of sleeping on a proper mattress. The natural mattresses we offer here at Scripps Natural are designed to carefully cushion your aching muscles and give you a great night’s sleep. We’ve helped countless sleep deprived individuals to rest easier and wake up feeling more refreshed, energized, and ready to tackle the day.

The Long Term Investment of a Natural Mattress

On average, your mattress should be changed no fewer than once every 10 years. For those individuals that suffer from poor, subpar levels of sleep, and poor quality of sleep – the change could come sooner. In those instances, changing your mattress after 5-7 years is a smart choice. Changing your mattress as this frequency can greatly increase the number of hours you maintain deep sleep, and enhance the overall quality of sleep you obtain on a nightly basis.

Better Back Health, One Mattress at a Time

Organic Mattress that Helps Back Health

There are so many aspects to living a healthy lifestyle. In the past decade so many Americans have put a large emphasis on their dieting and exercise, and many individuals have taken a look at mental health. But one aspect of living that too many people appear to overlook is their quality of sleep. A restless night can cause a whole host of health issues down the line, both benign and more serious. The wrong mattress can often be the culprit for a bad night in bed – either due to a lack of firmness, a lack of support, or simply a bad fit for a given body type. Additionally, poor mattresses are frequently the source of back pain, a pain which continues to be the most common in American citizens (27% of respondents of a National Institute of Health Statistics survey cited low back pain as the most common).

While alternate solutions for back pain do exist in the form of posture exercises, lower back exercises, and temporary relief in the form of medication – simply utilizing a better mattress can work wonders. Here at Scripps Natural, helping our customers get a better night’s sleep and improve their overall health is at the core of what we do best. Since our inception in 2001 we have helped numerous residents here in San Diego and elsewhere obtain a solid night’s rest. Our mattresses are made here in Southern California with organic, non-harmful materials sourced from Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
