Up at the Witching Hour? An Evening Routine Can Help You Stay Asleep All Night

When the air grows chill and the darkness creeps in earlier each day, our thoughts naturally turn to the spookier side of life. While ghouls and goblins might haunt our dreams, a more common nocturnal terror can be just as frightening – those restless nights when we find ourselves “up at the witching hour,” tossing and turning instead of sleeping peacefully. Luckily, we have a magical solution for these nighttime woes that doesn’t involve a cauldron or spellbook: a trusty evening routine.

If you’ve ever experienced the dread of insomnia or midnight awakenings, an evening routine may be the solution you need for a full night’s rest. In this blog, we’ll explore different evening routines and how they can help you get to sleep and stay asleep. So don’t be afraid of the dark! Read our tips below to perfect your own evening routine and get some truly bewitching rest.

Do you often wake up at the witching hour? With a Flexabed and an evening routine, you can stay asleep all night

The Dreaded Witching Hour

Every one of us has experienced a night where we’re inexplicably awake at the witching hour. Maybe it’s the eerie silence or the howling wind outside that seems to conspire against our peaceful slumber. For some, this midnight wakefulness is a frequent occurrence. Be it stress, anxiety, or modern distractions like smartphones, there are many reasons behind these sleepless nights. Unfortunately, they come with a frightful toll on our well-being.

Interrupted sleep can leave us feeling drained, groggy, and zombie-like. Our ability to concentrate, our mood, and even our immune system can suffer from the lack of restorative rest. We can’t all be witches with the power to cast spells for deep sleep, but there’s a different kind of magic at our disposal – evening routines.

The Magic of Evening Routines

An evening routine is like a gentle enchantment that prepares your body and mind for a peaceful night’s slumber. By establishing a regular set of activities and habits before bedtime, you can signal to your body that it’s time to wind down and prepare for rest. The science behind evening routines is simple but powerful. By consistently engaging in calming activities, you help lower your heart rate, reduce stress, and create an atmosphere conducive to sleep.

Some effective practices for evening routines include meditation, reading, journaling, or enjoying a warm cup of herbal tea. These rituals can soothe your senses and quiet the stresses of the day, paving the way for a peaceful night’s rest. It’s like casting a sleep spell around your bedtime!

A Sleep Spell for All Seasons

The beauty of an evening routine is that it’s entirely customizable. You can create your own ritual, ensuring it aligns with your unique sleep needs and preferences. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Set a Consistent Bedtime: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Consistency reinforces your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

Plan the Next Day: If you’re often kept awake at night worrying about the next day, try creating a to-do list or schedule. This can help you feel in control of your daily activities and help reduce stress. Journaling can be a useful tool for reducing stress as well.

Unplug and Unwind: An hour before bedtime, put away the screens. The blue light from devices can disrupt your sleep. Instead, engage in relaxing activities like reading, gentle stretches, or practicing mindfulness.

Create a Comfort Zone: With a Flexabed, you can adjust the bed to the perfect position to enhance your comfort. Find that sweet spot where you feel most relaxed and at ease.

Dim the Lights: Lower the lights in your bedroom to signal to your body that it’s time to rest.

Avoid Heavy Meals and Stimulants: Try not to eat large meals or consume caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime. These can disrupt your sleep.

Stay Active: Regular physical activity can improve the quality of your sleep. However, try not to exercise too close to bedtime, as it can have the opposite effect.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to creating an evening routine that works for you. If you need more inspiration for crafting your own dream routine, read these tips as well. Pairing these nightly rituals with a Flexabed will elevate your sleep experience even more so!

Get your adjustable beds for seniors at Flexabed!

A doctor’s recommendation isn’t needed to warrant an adjustable bed. Perhaps you know someone who would like to watch TV or read in bed without craning their neck. An adjustable bed provides a comfortable position wherever the sleeper wants to go. That freedom of comfort is one of the many reasons seniors and their families come to Flexabed for adjustable beds.

Hello dear reader, and welcome once again to the Flexabed blog. If you have been keeping up with our previous blog posts, you are well aware of the fact that we think adjustable beds are more than just a piece of furniture, they are a lifestyle accessory that can greatly benefit individuals who choose to make use of them. When you really start to think about it, so much of our time is spent in bed. Over the course of a person’s life, literal years are spent lying in bed, so why not try to make the best use of this time. To us, this means it is in most people’s best interest to make sure their bed is not only comfortable to sleep on but that it also provides auxiliary benefits. In today’s post, we are going to cover a topic we have not covered before – the benefits that sleeping with your legs elevated can have on your health. 

 

Relieve Those Legs

Using an adjustable bed to comfortably sleep with the legs elevated can give the body some much needed healing time during the night for those dealing with varicose veins, leg swelling, sciatic nerve pain, and other medical conditions that affect the legs. Throughout the day, gravity is constantly working to pull down the body. This causes many symptoms such as having a sore back, tired legs, and poor circulation as the blood in the body struggles to travel back up the legs toward the heart and brain. Sleeping with the legs elevated allows the body to, quite literally, take a load off and works to rejuvenate an individual by pumping venous blood back toward the heart and other vital organs. As the blood circulates to these areas, a person’s body will feel more relaxed and peaceful and healthier sleep can occur. Below, we have listed some of the benefits of sleeping with elevated legs and some of the conditions this form of sleeping can help to alleviate. 

 

Overall Better Blood Circulation

Even though it might sound odd, sleeping with the legs elevated can actually go a long way in achieving better blood flow to the legs and feet. Placing the legs and feet in a position above the heart assists in helping gravity move the blood from the lower half of the body up to the heart. This allows the heart to more effectively circulate fresh blood and reduces the amount of work it takes for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. As a result, a person experiences smoother blood flow and provides their heart with an environment in which it can rest. 

 

Minimize Chronic Back Pain Symptoms

If you suffer from chronic back pain, whether from localized joint pain or a temperamental sciatic nerve, sleeping with elevated legs helps to minimize the symptoms associated with this condition. As the body’s longest nerve, the sciatic nerve can cause quite a bit of discomfort to an individual when it becomes inflamed. The sciatic nerve follows the spinal cord down the back, into the buttocks, and then down into both legs. When this nerve becomes irritated by compression or inflammation, it can create leg pain, lower back pain, and even numbness in the feet and legs. The symptoms of this condition can be alleviated by lying on the back with the knees elevated. While this isn’t always the easiest position to achieve in a normal bed, an adjustable bed makes it easy for a person to perfectly position their knees to reduce the amount of pressure the lumbar discs exert on roots of the sciatic nerve. 

 

Reduction of Edema in the Legs and Feet

Edema, or swelling of the legs caused by extra fluid buildup, is a painful condition that affects millions of people across the country every single day. Edema can be caused by something as simple as standing for extended periods of time or, in more serious cases, can be an indicator of congestive heart failure. No matter the root cause of the condition, sleeping with the legs elevated can work to reduce the amount of fluid that builds up in the feet and legs throughout the day. 

 

Alleviate Symptoms of Lymphedema and Varicose Veins

When a person suffers from varicose veins, the veins allow blood to pool and waste products to gather under the skin, creating an accumulation of toxins and pressure within the affected limb. This can result in legs that feel heavy, tired, and painful. As the day goes on, these symptoms tend to get worse as gravity works to keep the blood and toxins in the surrounding leg tissue. Additionally, varicose veins can cause problems beyond the legs. If left alone, varicose veins can result in lymphedema (damage to the body’s lymphatic system). The lymphatic system works to collect the lymph tissue fluid from the body to transmit it back through the bloodstream. If the system is struggling to do this, swelling of the feet and toes can occur. Luckily, raising the legs at the end of the day and sleeping with the legs elevated can help relieve the symptoms of varicose veins and can work to reduce the amount of swelling associated with lymphedema.

Common Adjustable Bed Questions Answered

Whether you are shopping for your first-ever adjustable bed or you are simply in need of a replacement bed because your original is a little worn out, it is import to start your shopping journey knowing what to look for and how much you expect to pay to get the adjustable bed that best fits your needs. The following questions are the ones that we are most often asked. We hope that by reading some of our answers, you can save time before you begin considering the best adjustable bed option for your situation.

 

Q: How do Adjustable Beds Work?

This is one of the most common questions that we get at Flexabed. Generally, people have an idea of how flexible beds operate, however, the finer details are not something that is typically known by the average consumer. The easiest way to think of an adjustable bed is to look at it as a base upon which you place a mattress of your choice. Adjustable bed bases are constructed of metal frame parts that must be bent, assembled, and painted before the motorized control systems and motors are added. With many adjustable bed providers. , you will be asked to choose between a model where the remote is hardwired into the base or a model features a wireless remote. With the remote in hand, the adjustable base allows for the raising and lowering of the head and foot of the bed, providing sleepers with a fully customizable rest experience based on their personal preferences.

 

Q: How Much do Adjustable Beds Cost?

Price points for adjustable beds vary greatly depending on the material used and the features that are included. The good news is that the popularity of adjustable beds has greatly reduced the price tags of these beds over the years. The popularity of this bed category still outweighs the number of companies that are producing them, so the consumer is left with multiple competing companies that are doing their best to produce beds that are both high in quality and as low in price as possible. Now, this does not mean that adjustable beds are cheap, especially adjustable beds that are made to last for decades and not just for a few years. For quality adjustable beds, a consumer can expect to spend around $1800 – $2500 or, for some of the more high-end models of adjustable beds, they can expect to spend as much as $5000. While the price tag may seem steep, the benefits that adjustable beds provide over the years that they are used far outweigh the initial cost.

 

Q: How Does a Person Pick the Best Adjustable Bed?

Picking the right adjustable bed for your needs really depends on what you are hoping to get out of the product. This question becomes difficult to answer because, like beds, all sleepers are unique in what they need to achieve that perfect night’s rest. If you a person that experiences a lot of lower back pain, the right choice for you may be different than a person that is looking to relieve snoring or sleep apnea. In our opinion, the best way to determine the correct bed for your situation is to speak to a representative that knows these products inside and out. At Flexabed, our in-house staff in Lafayette, GA has been working with flexible beds for years, and, as a result, are totally adept at helping you select the correct bed for your needs.

 

Q: What Types of Mattresses Work With Flexible Beds

This question is one of the most common ones that we have to answer. Rightly so, most people assume that having an adjustable bed means that you have to have a special mattress that will flex along with the bed. While this is partially true, it is less of an issue that most people think. Mattresses for adjustable beds fall into three main categories: innerspring, foam, and hybrid designs that incorporate both innerspring and foam characteristics. Mattress choice boils down to what you need out of a mattress. If you need firm support, an innerspring mattress is the way to go. If you need a mattress that is going to help to relieve joint pain, memory foam may be your best option. Again, we encourage you to speak with someone who has intimate knowledge of adjustable beds and can help you make the correct decision.

 

Q: Where Can I Buy Adjustable Beds

There are multiple ways to buy adjustable beds. Many online retailers allow for the customization of adjustable beds online and will ship directly to your store. On the other hand, brick and mortar stores allow people to come in and see an adjustable bed before purchasing in order to test out many of the features that may be included with the bed. Here at Flexabed, we offer both options. Simply visit our website to choose your preferred method and we will connect you with an online retailer, or if you are the type who prefers to see a product before you purchase it, we will connect you with an authorized dealer who can assist you.
