Is it your alarm or your coffee? What REALLY wakes you up in the morning? The key to a refreshed morning is a good night’s sleep. There’s a reason why the bride (and the groom) needs their “beauty rest” before the big day! Whether you’re on a King-sized platform bed or a mattress topper on your floor, here’s how to make your every morning as if it’s the big day.

A lot is going on when you sleep. But first, let’s talk about what happens when we sleep and why a good mattress matters. In this article, we’ll talk about what you can do best in the morning after you’ve slept on your luxury bed or Divan bed.

Whats, Wheres, and Whys of Sleeping on Luxury Beds

The REM cycle of sleep that the brain goes through is an important process. Without it, we would simply go crazy (this is not an exaggeration, look it up!) and since sleep is very important, we can also say that when we are asleep, we are at our most vulnerable. An interrupted sleep pattern can cause damage to your memory.

But what goes on when we’re asleep? Perhaps the most obvious answer is that your body recharges. Quite literally, your nerve cells and your brain reorganise themselves and create long-term memories. As you sleep, your body repairs all the damage, ready for another day.

To be able to sleep in the best and most luxurious quality mattresses is a must to achieve this feeling. Sleeping in a king-size bed is only the beginning of the scientific process. There are other benefits of a good mattress, check out our article on Exploring the Benefits of Upholstered Fabric Beds.

Now, sleeping is one thing, but how about waking up? Here are some essential things to do after a night of sleeping on that ottoman bed or divan bed:

Step 1: Chug a Glass of Water

The evening is one of the longest times your body spends without food and water, which is why we always wake up feeling dehydrated.

Make sure to drink that glass on your bedside table before leaving that iconic luxury mattress of yours for better skin, better hair, and an overall energetic glow!

Step 2: Rev the Engine and Stretch

If you don’t want ill-timed cramps or injuries, it is best to rev up your engine by stretching your muscles. Stretching also increases your blood flow, making you feel refreshed and ready to face the day head-on.

What better way is there to enjoy that luxury Divan bed or whatever luxury bedding you may have than to stretch out all the way?

Step 3: Make Your Bed

It doesn’t matter if it’s a platform bed, an upholstered bed or a floor mattress, or a queen bed frame with a headboard, a bed is only as good as how much you take care of it.

Life coaches and motivational speakers would advise starting the morning by crossing out the first unorganised task of the day — and depending on how much of a messy sleeper you are, this can already be your first daunting task!

Taking care of your bed ensures that your luxury mattress will also take care of you. Rotate that mattress and give your evening body a new feeling to dig into every night.

A heavy day can be even heavier when the mind is not conditioned to deal with it. So make your future self proud by having them come home and spend their evening getting comfy in a well-made bed.

Step 4: Hit the Showers

The morning is often the beginning of a long day for most of us. Sometimes, it is a chore and a battle to survive the morning and get to work. It is no surprise, then, that starting your day with a thorough shower is a great way to be refreshed throughout the day.

Hitting the showers before anything else after getting up from your luxury bedding allows your body to reset its temperature after a (hopefully) long night of sleep. Showering lets your blood flow increase, making you fresh inside and out!

Step 5: Meditate, Talk to Yourself

It is always a good idea to set expectations. Whether it is for a job interview, a project you’re spearheading, or simply getting out of your luxury beds, agreeing on the next step conditions your mind and body for what’s to come.

Do yourself a favour and be kind to yourself by slowly easing in your newly pulled-out REM brain, talking your day over, and preparing before leaving the platform bed. If luxury mattresses and a luxury bed can handle your sudden jolt when your alarm rings, your brain would certainly prefer good conditioning first!

Summary

A good morning is key to a good day, and a good evening is key to a good morning! The secret is all in how much you value a healthy relationship with your bed.

Set yourself up for a good night’s sleep by drinking enough water, stretching your body, fixing your bed, hitting the showers, and acting as your motivational coach.

Remember, your morning is only as good as your evening!
