Are you getting your beauty zzzz’s …National Nap day is March 11th

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

You’ve heard it before .Americans are just not getting enough sleep . March 11th is National Nap Day and the start of Wellness Week . It’s the perfect opportunity to incorporate more sleep into your life via getting to bed earlier, or taking the afternoon nap. Studies have suggested that even a 10 minute nap can improve your effectiveness by day and prevent that 4pm sugar craving and late night snacking . Keep in mind that Daylight savings time is also around the corner with an hour less of your nights.

On another not why look at it as the perfect time to consider a new bed and your pledge to get more sleep off to a good start .And why not sleep like a king or queen on a custom bed? One company ,Hastens, designs custom made beds that created from only the finest, all-natural, sustainable materials . Clients can chose from horsehair, flax, Swedish pine, premium cotton, and wool—exquisitely layered by master craftsmen . The idea here is to make sure you rest on a breathable, supportive sleep surface. These beds are made entirely by hand taking upwards of 160 hours to create.

If your not in the market for a custom bed a sleep spa may be in the answer. Sleep by the minute at Yelo Spa (NYC)
If your not in the area check the web for nation sleep week events in your area. Sleep well !
