Did you know that we’ll be spending more than a third of our life in bed? What’s different about it though is that unlike the other 16 hours a day we spend moving around, working or studying, the 8 hours of slumber is our moment of rest. And if you ask me how I want to enjoy the 33% of my lifetime, we’d have to look at where I’ll be spending it.
A mattress is certainly an investment that I’d happily make when I get a house someday. Why? Because, and I’m sure most of you would agree, there’s nothing like taking solace on a comfortable bed after a hard day’s work. However, from the myriad beds and mattresses available in the market today, which type should you choose?
Choosing a mattress isn’t as easy as it seems - search for the mattress that fits your needs!

Sleep Etiquette: Tips to Get a Good Night's Sleep | Uratex Blog
It really frustrates me when I don’t get a good night’s sleep. I realize that the nights I toss and turn for hours before dozing off are consequences of actions I’ve made during the day. For example, I’ve learned through the hard way that any intake of caffeine beyond 4pm will almost always cause me to sleep later than my usual bedtime. Additionally, any form of intense exercise past evening resulting in unusually higher levels of heartbeat will most definitely keep me awake for hours, sometimes until the sun rises!
Look into your daily habits to determine why you toss and turn all night
