Not all blankets can be used at different temperatures and seasons. The correct blanket can warm our body, which will result to a long comfortable sleep, while the incorrect one can ruin our sleep pattern.

Silkeborg, Denmark -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/22/2014 -- In this age when people have a lot of things on our plates, we tend to forget how important proper and comfortable sleep is in order for us to function properly. We are so overwhelmed to comply with the tasks given to us at work and in school that we fail to comply to the needs our body is asking for us to live healthier lives. Aside from eating healthy food, having proper exercise, we also need to have enough and comfortable sleep. Being in a comfortable position and a comfy place are prerequisites in having a good sleep. For how can we get enough sleep if we snooze uncomfortably? We will wake up every now and then thus, forfeiting the value of the time we allowed ourselves to drowse in the first place.

Comfortable pillows, mattresses and blankets are the things we need in order for us to be well rested. After choosing the right pillows and mattresses based on our weight, body size and sleeping positions, it's time to consider the factors needed in choosing a nice and comfortable blanket. Not all blankets can be used at different temperatures and seasons. The correct blanket can warm our body, which will result to a long comfortable sleep, while the incorrect one can ruin our sleep pattern.

According to an article published by Psychology Today entitled, "Choosing a Blanket to Help you Sleep," when it comes to temperature while sleeping, experts recommend to follow the Goldilocks Principle: "Not to hot, not too cold, but just right." Humans tend to sleep between 62o and 70o Fahrenheit or 16o and 21o Celsius according to Alice Hoagland, PhD, Director of Insomnia Services at the Unity Sleep Disorders Center in Rochester, NY. When the temperature becomes too cold, it might rouse someone from sleep. A good and correctly chosen blanket will keep you warm to go on with your sleep without any interruption. On the contrary, blankets that give too much warmth may also disrupt a good night's sleep. Our body's temperature normally drops on the first four hours of slumber. Anything that will interfere with the incline in the body's temperature can disturb our sleep.

One more factor to consider in choosing a blanket is its cleanliness. Choosing a non-allergenic blanket should be on top of the priority list in choosing a blanker especially for those people who are prone to asthma attacks. Dust mites, which thrives in blankets and beddings can trigger allergy and asthma and might cause you to sneeze the entire night depriving you of sleep. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends allergy-prone sleepyheads to avoid down-filled comforters and to wash blankets once a week in hot water and dry in a hot dryer to eliminate dust termites.

Lastly, we must choose a blanket with the correct texture and quality. A blanket must be "easy on the skin." Whether one prefers a smooth or fuzzy texture, we must consider how a gentle fabric feels to our skin because it soothes us in our sleep. We must prevent choosing a fabric that might irritate our skin and may cause itching that will keep us awake. Cotton fabric can be considered since it has two qualities that enhance comfort – soft and breathable.

Silkeborg, Denmark -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2014 -- Though, sleep specialists give the public the assurance that this disorder can be weaned off out of a person's system through proper "sleep hygiene" – as what specialist quote it.

Have a sleeping schedule and stick with it, even on weekends

Having a sleeping schedule and sticking with it on a regular basis gives the human body the cues it needs to nod off. To be able to get the best rest possible, it's advised to get to bed early. "Studies suggest that if you normally need eight hours of sleep and you get them between 10 pm and 6am you'll feel more rested than if you go to sleep at midnight and get up at 8 am," says David Simon, medical director of the Chopra Center in La Jolla, California.

Work out regularly. Regular exercise increases the time the human body spends in deep sleep, this is the time wherein the body repairs its cells and refreshes the immune system. Though Peter J. Hauri, director of the Mayo Clinic Insomnia Program and co-author of No More Sleepless Nights, warns that working out less than three hours prior to dozing off can leave the human body too pumped up to sleep.

Avoid nicotine and nightcaps. Cigarettes are powerful stimulant that will keep an individual active for a few hours. Though a person may feel drowsy after a having a drink or two but when the effect of alcohol dissolves, sleep actually becomes more fitful.

Have an early dinner time and keep it light. Eating heavy meals for dinner isn't helpful for one to have a sound sleep at all. According to Dr. Simon, "The body can't rest while it's digesting," and recommends consuming a light dinner no later than 6.30 pm; but don't go to bed hungry — it's hard to fall asleep when your stomach is growling. If one needs a snack, a couple of fiber-rich cookies or crackers are the best options for carbohydrates are known to stimulate the brain's production of serotonin, the chemical enables the human body to have a deeper sleep.

Keep "security blankets" handy. Toddlers are not the only ones entitled to have security blankets, adults are too. Studies have shown that security blankets induce an individual to have a sound sleep it's a psychological thing. As a matter of fact, sleep clinics encourage their patients to bring their own blankets and pillows and other slumber paraphernalia for them to easily doze off during their sessions.

Try a Weighted Blanket or Dyne. Weighted Blankets have been utilized in the special needs community for years and are now being endorsed and prescribed by doctors to help the general population who are battling anxiety and insomnia.
