Simple Tips to Avoid Sleep Deprivation

In today's world where a lot of things go fast-paced, we often hear people say that sleep is a luxury. Adequate and quality sleep is considered a treasure as more and more people are being sleep-deprived due to stress, illness, and other environmental factors.

Sleep deprivation is not just about insufficient sleep of sleeplessness, but it also means not having a quality sleep. Sometimes you might have slept for 8-10 hours but you still feel tired, that's still sleep deprivation. Your eyes might have shut down for long hours but your mind and body did not actually rest, due to some conditions that might be internal or external.

Sleep deprivation does not only cause bad mood and under-eye circles. It affects our lifestyle, our health, and our overall being.

Here are two simple tips that we often take for granted because we would always think that all beddings and all pillows are just the same.

Choose the right bedding

Beddings with parallel lines or pattern makes the bed look wider

The bedding that's right for you lets you wake up feeling rested. A good bedding is something that complements the style, design and color of your room. It is something that gives you the feeling of comfort and relaxation by just staring at them.

AKEMI is one of the bedding brands I like. Aside from its good quality, it has a lot of design, color and sizes to choose from.

Established in 2007, AKEMI Uchi is a home furnishing and accessories specialty store featuring extensive range of brands – for bedlinen, bedding accessories, towels, curtains, drapes, cushions and upholstery fabrics which originated in Malaysia.

Here in the Philippines, AKEMI sells fascinating beddings in irresistible patterns, styles, and colours which is why even though they are new in the market, they were able to capture the customer's choice for beddings.

Apart from the awesome physical features of Akemi's beddings, what really sets them apart from other brands is their technology called Tencel. This technology ensures that the fiber are comfortable and natural with silky-soft feature. A touch of Tencel is as good as it makes you feel.

There are 2 types of Tencel beddings - the Lyocell and the Modal.

Tencel Lyocell is light and exquisitely soft. Its fibers came from sustainable wood sources which is why it has long-lasting natural comfort, efficient moisture absorption and is versatile and strong.

Fabrics containing Tencel Lyocell fibers produce a smooth drape, creating flattering appearance and they shine perceptibly more intensively than cotton fabrics and have impressive color vibrance.

Tencel Lyocell fibers are gentle on the skin. They are naturally smooth which enables the fabrics to glide lightly over skin.

Clinical tests conducted showed that Tencel Lyocell fibers provide a less favorable environment for bacterial growth, offering better hygienic qualities.

The Tencel Modal on the other hand features Eco Soft Technology which means chlorine-free bleaching, low air pollution, environment friendly production process aside from being exquisitely soft, too.

Beddings which uses Tencel modal retain long-lasting color vibrancy and are less prone to fade even after repeated washing.

Both the Lyocell and Modal are biodegrable, with enhanced breathability, and with minimal static charge compared to synthetics.

Choose The Right Pillow

Different types of pillows offered by Mr. Big

Pillows are not just for your head and neck. Depending on your sleeping position, additional pillows can help keep your spine in the proper position. The pillow for your head should support the natural curve of your neck and be comfortable. A pillow that's too high can put your neck into a position that causes muscle strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. Choose a pillow that will keep the neck aligned with the chest and lower back. Your pillow should be adjustable to allow you to sleep in different positions.
