The Senso Memory Line, on the other hand, offers plush comfort and a special cooling quality that makes it perfect for people wanting to enjoy deep sleep during warmer temperatures. This collection is designed to comfortably cradle the body for better relaxation. The Senso Memory Ultima and the Ultima Plus offer enhanced cooling through heat-absorbing Hydragel beads incorporated in the memory foam. The Ultima Plus, in particular, has the Cooler knit fabric as mattress cover for an added cooling effect.

My Bad Sleeping Habits

Uratex Premium Matresses & Sleeping hacks (27 of 29)

I consider myself as someone who have a deficiency in sleeping. Ever since I started working in a production company, sleep has become a lesser priority even though we all know for a fact that enough sleep is a necessity. It is free and accessible but still people choose to prioritise other things (that includes me). There was a situation before that I tend to not sleep at all just to finish deadlines (not good!). If there is an opportunity to sleep, I tend to just look for a place (within the office) and try to snatch a moment. So that when needed I could be able to easily get up and work again.

My kind of sleep deprivation was a bad habit and I am the only one to blame for it. Because of the lack of sleep (coupled with stress), my body develops different complication over the years, add to that some immediate effect like headache, palpitation (because of taking too much coffee) and lack of sleep also makes me a bit grumpy. (We do not like that right?)

Over the years, I was able to educate my self about the importance of sleep and currently tries to at least have a 6-8 hours per day. (According to experts we should sleep at least 7-9 hours).  I considered sleep now as a luxury, for aside that sleeping can give us great comfort not everyone could be able to rest the way we do. Good thing I do not like partying (Tito feels), but sleeping up too late is a bit unavoidable.

Sleeping Hacks

Uratex Premium Matresses & Sleeping hacks (21 of 29)

At the Uratex U + 1 sleep workshop I was able to learn a few tricks on how I could be able to rest and sleep better, here are some of the things I’ve learned.

  1. Setting the alarm (not to wake up) to remind you it is time to sleep – This is a very witty idea to do. Most of us probably set the alarm to wake up but not when we are about to sleep. Setting an alarm for sleeping shows how important sleeping for an individual. This would also let us have enough sleep everyday.
  2. Use Aroma oils or candles – Lavender oil has been known as a scent for a goodnight sleep. Though it isn’t one of my favorite, one could also consider using Ylang-ylang or Cedarwood oil as an alternative.
  3. Dim the lights to set the ambiance – Dimming the lights is really important to let encourage your body to begin its physiological progression toward sleep. I think I could only sleep with the lights on when I am very very tired.
  4. Avoid caffeine before bedtime – I am guilty of it but I tried to lessen it up lately. And by the way, it is not just coffee that you should be avoiding, this includes other caffeinated drinks like tea or soft drinks.
  5. Be not a Worrier – This is another problem that I usually encounter. Getting in to bed usually makes me think of a lot of things, like ideas overflowing. If you are one of those people who always have a nice idea popping in before sleeping, I suggest for you to always have a pen and notebook beside your bed.
  6. Keep bed and bedsheets clean – To make your sleep even more luxurious, keep your bed and bedsheets always new and clean.
