Pregnancy and sleep: how to sleep better while expecting

Pregnancy and sleep: how to sleep better while expecting

A full night of sleep during pregnancy is essential for the balanced development of your baby and for how well you feel yourself. To make the bedroom genuinely comfortable, it is worth taking the time to buy a mattress that is built around the body's anatomy, so the spine and the muscles around it get real support. A well-chosen mattress also helps you relax as you sleep and keeps blood circulating properly, which prevents fluid build-up and inflammation.

Setting up sleep during pregnancy

Poor sleep during pregnancy can set off health problems and drag down how you feel all day, so specialists recommend making the bedroom as comfortable as you can. Getting the temperature and the noise level right is non-negotiable.

Here is what helps if you are wondering how to sleep better while you are expecting:

  • cut out stimulants (caffeine, taurine and similar substances make it harder to drift off, and that shows up in the quality of your sleep);
  • wind down before bed (a warm shower, calm music, meditation and similar techniques release tension and tiredness);
  • set the bed up properly (orthopaedic mattressesgive you the support that stops you waking up stiff and tense).

Our specialists also suggest settling into a steady rhythm of activity and rest. Going to bed and getting up at the same time each day helps the body adapt to its new state, and keeps you from sleeping either too little or too much.

Choosing the right position

As the bump grows, sleeping positions during pregnancy have to take the load off the spine and the surrounding muscles. Lying on your left side is one of the best options. Bend your knees and slip a pillow between them first. That position keeps blood circulating normally, which prevents swelling and inflammation. Sleeping face down, or flat on your back, is best avoided, especially later in the pregnancy. Anatomically, those positions can restrict blood flow and leave you uncomfortable.

Our mattress storecarries a broad range of products that help set sleep up properly during pregnancy. Everything in the catalogue is made from quality materials, and the prices stay reasonable.
