We’ve all been there. You toss. Turn. You can’t seem to turn off your brain. You worry about how much time you have left to get that much-needed rest. You stress about how the next day will go if you’re running on too few Zs. Luckily, there are a lot of things you can do to help promote a great night’s rest. There are several trusted tricks and tips to fall back asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. Here are a few things to try next time sleep attempts to evade you.

1– Eliminate bright lights and sounds.

If you wake in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep, try to turn off any lights in or around your bedroom that could be adding to your sleep disruption. Ambient light, light streaming in from windows, and LED light from screens can make it more difficult to fall back asleep. If sounds are a problem too, try earplugs, a fan, or other white noise machines to help drown out the sounds that are keeping you awake.

2– Get out of bed and move around.

Sometimes you just get stuck in a swirling headspace and can’t go back to sleep. If this happens to you, we recommend getting out of bed and going into another room for a while. You can try reading for a few minutes (with just enough light on to see the pages easily), or listen to music to wind back down. Music encourages our bodies to relax and can actually lull you back to sleep. Calming music is best, especially instrumental music like classical or jazz. 

You can also try meditating in another room to calm your senses. Taking deep breaths and clearing your mind can improve sleep. If you get up, make sure you don’t do anything stressful or laborious. Just give your body a chance to relax again before returning to your bed. If you wake up, it’s a good idea to get out of bed for a bit so your brain doesn’t begin to associate the bed with wakefulness.

3– Avoid your phone and other screens.

The blue light that smartphones and other electronic devices emit can actually suppress your body’s production of melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone your body produces that helps regulate circadian rhythm and sleep cycles. It’s best to try to avoid your cell phone and other screens when you wake in the night. You can also switch them to night mode to reduce your exposure to blue light should you need to check them. That said, looking at devices can also stimulate the brain again, keeping you in a state of unrest.

4– Avoid repeatedly checking the clock.

When you are already having a hard time falling back asleep, having staring contests with the clock is a bad idea. You’ll lose this content every time. Checking the time over and over again can make you feel anxious, which is counterproductive when you’re trying to drift back into restful sleep.

5– Intentionally relax your muscles.

One thing that can help you fall asleep more easily is performing a full-body scan of sorts. This trick is called progressive muscle relaxation. First, you close your eyes and focus on slow breathing. Think about your face, relaxing each muscle intentionally. Move down to the neck and shoulders and relax them, too. Continue systematically relaxing all the muscles in your body all the way down to your feet. The idea here is that you can lull yourself into such a relaxed state that you’ll eventually be able to fall back asleep.

6– Try sleep apps.

A lot of people find that using various sleep applications helps them fall asleep more quickly or fall back asleep after being awakened. These apps are designed to help you feel relaxed through stories, sounds, music, and other techniques. Many of them offer free trials to allow you to test their effectiveness before you commit. Here is a list by Good Housekeeping of the best sleep apps to download in 2023.

If you try out some of these tips, we hope they help you get better rest and deeper sleep. Of course, there are some sleep disorders that require medical expertise. In these cases, experts recommend seeing sleep specialists to find the underlying issues and get you on track to a better night’s rest.

In addition to finding what works best for you to help you get back to sleep after waking in the night, it’s also important to set yourself up for sleep success in every other way you can. One way to do this is by curating a peaceful sleep space with the perfect bed for you, your body, and your sleep needs. Check out our line of Flexabed adjustable beds, and start paving the way toward peaceful sleep today.

We live in a time in which essentially everything can be automated, from programmable thermostats to smart lights to everything in between. Every household appliance can be as feature rich as you like. Robotic vacuum cleaners can keep floors tidy on a timer. So why is your bed still stationary and disenchanting? We’ve got 5 reasons why life is better with a remote control bed, and if you don’t have one already, we bet you’ll be shopping for them by the time you’ve finished reading this blog.

1– Comfort

When it comes to sleep, comfort matters. If you constantly toss and turn at night, and struggle to get into a comfortable position, that means you’re also missing out on quality sleep time in the process. When you have a remote control bed that is adjustable, you can tweak the settings to help you achieve the most comfortable positions whenever you need to, with the simple press of a button.

2– Convenience

Remote control beds are also incredibly convenient. Say you want to elevate your tired feet for a while– there’s a button for that! Perhaps you’d like to elevate your head so you can read for a while, or enjoy a movie before bed? You guessed it. There’s a button for that. It’s just so easy.

3– Improved Sleep

Many people with adjustable remote control beds also find that they are able to get better sleep in them than in their old, stationary counterparts. Some may find that they can alleviate snoring, or back pain, or even acid reflux by finding the right positions for sleep in their adjustable beds. Being able to achieve comfortable sleep positions can go a long way when it comes to getting the best rest you possibly can each night when you turn in.

4– Usefulness

When you can easily configure the position and shape of your bed with a remote control, that bed actually becomes a lot more useful to you. You can sit up, you can lie down flat, you can try different combinations of adjustments, and you can do it all so simply. Your bed can double as an ultra-comfortable reading chair, a space to play board games with loved ones, a make-shift movie theater, and so much more.

5– Luxury

Rest is so important, and ultimately we all deserve access to rejuvenating restful sleep. A remote control bed is a luxury we at Flexabed think everyone should have, because what could be more important than healthy sleep? Having a luxurious, custom adjustable bed at home can also transform the way you think about bedtime. Perhaps having the right remote control bed will make it easier to prioritize the caliber of sleep your body needs and deserves to get every night? This may seem like a luxury, but it’s also incredibly necessary.

So, are you convinced yet? If you’re in the market for a new, cozy, custom, comfortable-as-can-be remote control bed, look no further than Flexabed. We manufacture a full line of mattresses, adjustable bed bases, and many accessories ready to be leveraged for your best sleep ever. Why not start now?

Make our Hi Low beds perfect through customization. Start by selecting a comfortable mattress type that makes most sense for you.

This Spring, help mom and dad get a great night’s rest with a luxurious king size innerspring mattress! At Flexabed, our specialty is creating adjustable beds designed to improve comfort and convenience, and we offer two innerspring selections for those beds (or to purchase separately).

Our innerspring and innerspring / memory foam combo mattresses are both available for Premier and Hi-Low SL models, with the innerspring also being an option for our Value Flex beds. So help Mom and Dad enjoy Spring in the most relaxed state imaginable on the best springs money can buy!

Why Pick a King Size Innerspring Mattress

Our innerspring mattresses offer a great range of potential benefits, especially for those who suffer from back pain or joint pain. Thanks to the Flexabed technology that is behind the design of our mattresses, the springs offer the perfect combination of extra-responsive support and motion isolation for those who need it. In addition, the durable, supportive surface provides comfort and stability right where it’s needed most, at the major pressure points– shoulders, hips, and knees.

This unique combination of responsive coils with supportive cushion filling enables innerspring mattresses to remain firmer than other types while still providing unbeatable comfort. With all these aspects working together in tandem, it’s no surprise that innerspring mattresses are one of the most established types of mattresses on the market today.

Or Consider a Memory Foam / King Size Innerspring Mattress

If you’re looking for a mattress that can adapt to your parents’ sleep position, an innerspring/memory foam combo is an excellent choice. Not only is it softer near the top, but it also provides plenty of support where needed through the innerspring core. It is especially ideal for people who tend to get hot when sleeping as its more open design promotes optimal airflow and keeps sleepers cool throughout the night.

Our innerspring/memory foam mattress has a multi-layered quilted topper and solid non-slip base, which provides maximum comfort while allowing the mattress to move along with the bed frame’s movement. If your parents struggle to stay cool during sleep or find themselves shifting positions often, this combination is a great option.

Spring for a Flexabed for Mom and Dad

Flexabed offers customers an extensive selection of mattresses when it comes to comfort and affordability. Again, our innerspring/memory foam combo is available in Premier and Hi-Low SL models, allowing for a range of firmnesses and making for an excellent option for sleepers with joint issues.

Additionally, our innerspring mattresses are durable, easy to customize, and come in three options – Premier, Hi-Low SL, and Value Flex – so that you can find the perfect one to meet your parents’ unique needs. Each mattress is made with quality materials to help them get a good night’s rest every night. A comfortable mattress from Flexabed means investing in years of restful nights, so this Spring, why not spring for a king size innerspring mattress for Mom and Dad?

Maybe a bed is a place to recoup when you’ve been unwell or had surgery. Regardless, having a custom adjustable bed means more functionality and great ways to use it.

5– Made for Sharing

Sharing a bed with a partner can be equal parts endearing and frustrating. Maybe you have different sleep position preferences, or maybe one of you needs to have your head elevated to breathe better. Perhaps one of you likes to stay up reading, while the other wants to go to sleep immediately. Well, with the split king option Flexabed offers, you can share the custom adjustable bed with your loved one with the flexibility to still do your own thing.

Flexabed – Your Luxury At-Home Alternative

In most situations, a hospital bed isn’t necessary, but the features they provide sure would be nice. A Flexabed Hi-Lo adjustable bed is a luxury alternative to a hospital bed and may help improve comfort and relieve pain for you or your loved one. These beds could also provide multiple lifestyle benefits that could help improve your or your partner’s sleep.

A Better Solution Than Earplugs

Do you or your partner snore? It can be embarrassing for the snorer and infuriating for the partner. It even drives some couples to sleep apart for the sake of shut-eye. A big benefit to an adjustable bed is that it could help reduce snoring, all you have to do is elevate the position of the snorer’s head slightly. Snoring is caused by tongue and soft tissues narrowing airways, which easily happens when sleeping flat on a bed. Elevating the head enables air to flow more freely.

Be More Comfortable Before Bed

If you enjoy watching TV before bed or reading a book while your partner sleeps in, you can do activities like these with ease on a Flexabed adjustable bed. Easily adjust the position of the bed to raise your head and see the television, and maybe also bring your feet up a little to reduce back pressure while you’re at it. No more straining your neck or shoulders when trying to relax, and no more strategically placed pillows.

Massages On-Demand

One luxury feature that a Flexabed offers that a hospital bed lacks is our optional massage add-ons. Recline in your adjustable bed and enjoy a massage while you unwind. Control the intensity of the massage with your remote control and feel your body loosen up after a long day at work. For split bases, couples have the benefit of personalized relaxation and massage options.

Some GERD News

If you or your partner has Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a Flexabed Hi-Lo bed could be a good way to get a better night’s sleep. By sleeping with your head and body partially elevated, gravity will help keep your stomach down (literally) and could prevent heartburn. Or, if you regularly have swollen legs or feet, an adjustable base can adjust your position so your legs are slightly elevated.

Flexabed, A Hospital Bed Alternative for Your Home

A hospital bed for the home could help you or a loved one get the most regenerative rest possible after an injury or in-patient stay. If you’re adapting to mobility limitations, an adjustable bed might help you enjoy improved health and increased independence.

Provide safety for yourself or a loved one.

Flexabeds are home hospital beds that, unlike traditional beds, are designed to be compatible with other health care devices. Our beds make transferring to a wheelchair, reaching a bedside table, or getting to your mobility aid safer and more secure. Safety features like half-rails or full-rails can also be installed. These features lower the risk of falls and the complications they bring!

How does a hospital bed for the home help?

Not only could a hospital bed provide more safety than a traditional bed, but it also makes it easier to get in and out of bed too. Hospital beds have wheels so the bed can be moved to any area of the home. They also feature locks to make them stationary when they’ve reached their destination.

What are other differences from traditional beds?

Hospital beds for the home are equipped with unique hospital-grade mattresses that reduce the risk of pressure sores and ulcers. Their adjustability makes them more appropriate than a traditional bed, providing comfort and support while giving caregivers more options for delivering quality care.

Maximize your recovery with a hospital bed for home.

Sound sleep improves intellectual function, alertness, and mood. During a complete sleep cycle, your sleeping brain recovers from the stresses of daily life. Proper sleep contributes to feeling more attentive and upbeat while combating medical challenges. Explore our Flexabed accessories in order to make your hospital bed for the home best suit your specific needs.

So what’s in a bed? A lot, actually. Your bed is your haven. A place where you rest at night, nap when you need it, recuperate from illness or injury, or recover from surgery. At Flexabed, we believe that your bed should be perfectly suited for you, tailored to meet your unique sleep needs, and ultimately improve your quality of life.

We also understand that as we age, our needs evolve. We may not get around as easily as we once did, or it may be difficult to get into and out of a bed that is stationary. That’s where our Flexabed Hi Low SL comes in, serving up all the best features that make it the ideal bed for the elderly at home.

If you’re in a position to require a hospital bed at home, or you have a loved one who is, you’re likely looking for the best possible option– one that will be comfortable, adjustable, accessible, and easy to use. Our Hi Low SL bed is a perfect choice for older sleepers, people with mobility issues, and really just anyone who appreciates customization and convenience. This bed is teeming with features that render it the ideal luxury alternative to a hospital bed for home.
