Despite the chill and dryness of winter, it’s entirely possible to get all forty winks every night. Beyond choosing a comfy custom mattress, there are plenty of quick, easy ways to ensure you sleep better throughout the season. Try out these helpful tips before bed to make your nights more restorative.

How to Get a Good Night’s Sleep All Winter

1. Keep It Cool

Some prefer to be toasty at night, but it’s best to sleep a little on the cooler side. You may get colder as you start to wind down, but during deep sleep, your body temperature begins to rise. This makes thick pajamas and comforters far too warm. Avoid tossing and turning in your sleep by lowering the thermostat to 65 degrees and dressing in lighter layers.

2. Get Moving

Exercising during the winter can be a little more challenging, but you should keep it up if you want to sleep well. The more active you are during the day, after all, the more tired you’ll be at night. That means no more staying up late deep in thought or browsing your phone. As soon as you hit that custom mattress, you’ll fall asleep in no time.

3. Dress Your Bed

While you’re bundling up for the season, you should do the same for  your bed. First, make sure you have a bed you can sleep comfortably on. A custom mattress that adheres to your needs will ensure you don’t sleep fitfully or wake up stiff. Get a pillow that’s as cozy as your custom mattress, and use bedding warmer than your summer sheets, but not heavy enough to make you sweat.

4. Dine Lightly

Warm, hearty meals are a common method to ward off the cold. Unfortunately, they’re not great for bedtime. A full stomach will leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable. Try to eat lighter dinners, and avoid caffeine and alcohol right before bed.

5. Combat Dry Air

The lack of humidity in the winter combined with indoor heating results in dry air, sore throats, and congestion. Give yourself more soothing sleep with a humidifier. This will clear your nasal passages and help prevent snoring and labored breathing.
