Bed Sheets for those with paralysis

2007-12-17T17:07:00.000-08:00

One of our customers emailed us the other day to let us know how wonderful Night and Gale Fleece Bed Sheets are for her mother. She is a stroke survivor and suffers from paralysis in her left arm and leg. Because of her paralysis, she gets very cold and getting into a chilly bed can be very uncomfortable.

They decided to try our warm and cozy fleece bed sheets and are very happy with the results! No longer does her mother have to cringe as she gets into bed at night.

We are so people are benefiting from our product and hope that you will too!

New colors and sizes on the way

2007-05-23T10:36:00.000-07:00

We will soon be adding another color of fleece sheets to our current palette of beautiful colors.

We will also be adding new extra deep pocket fitted sheets that will be suitable for the new extra deep mattresses that are coming out. They will also be great if you've got an extra mattress topper or memory foam top layer on your mattress.

Stay tuned for these great new products!

Memory foam

2007-04-17T12:07:00.000-07:00

We've recently been hearing rave reviews from friends about memory foam mattresses and pillows.

One friend was so thrilled with his new memory foam mattress that he couldn't stop talking about it for 15 minutes and he seemed happier than ever. It made us think maybe it's worth a try?

This wasn't just the mattress topper that he was talking about, it was the full mattress. We've heard they are significantly more expensive than regular mattresses, but when you consider that you spend about one third of your life in bed, maybe it's worth it.

Other people we know use the memory foam pillows and love those too. There seems to be a trend happening and we'd like to test these products out!

Don't forget to use our soft and fluffy fleece bedding with any mattress you choose.

Your bedroom

2007-01-31T17:05:00.001-08:00

If you have trouble sleeping—maybe you are distracted or worrying at bedtime–you may consider how you use your bedroom.

For example, if you have a desk in your bedroom, and often do work there, maybe this prevents you from being able to shut that part off when it comes time to sleep. Perhaps the presence of your desk reminds you of the work that you have to wake up to do tomorrow.

Ideally, your bedroom should be meant for just sleeping (or relaxing). Creating a relaxing and comforting atmostphere in your bedroom might help you to feel more relaxed at bedtime.

Overall make sure your bedroom is comfortable for you and is somewhere you can enjoy going at the end of the day.

Answer to the Riddle and more sleep tips

Hope you had fun puzzling over these riddles! The answers are below.

Answer to Riddle #1:
He slept every night!

Congratulations to those of you got it... without cheating that is!

------------------------------------

Do you have problems sleeping because of outside disturbances, noise, or light?

Sometimes even the slightest noise can wake you up if you are a light sleeper, but you don't have to put up with it.

Have you ever considered wearing earplugs and an eye mask to bed? We know that these things can feel a little weird, maybe a little uncomfortable at first, but if you try them out you will eventually get used to them! And you'll start sleeping undisturbed.

Take it from us, we know from experience!

You can get just the simple foam earplugs from the drug store. There are few different shapes and sizes so experiment to find the ones that are comfortable for you. You can also have earplugs made especially for you that are custom shaped to your ear. This will provide you with maximum comfort and effectiveness. Ask you doctor about where you could get this done.

Some sleepy-time riddles and sayings

2006-10-12T17:13:00.000-07:00

We thought we'd have some fun this week with some sleep related riddles we found on the web.

Stay tuned next time for the answers, and don't cheat by searching the Internet for them!

Riddle #1
A man went 20 days without a minutes sleep?
Yet he didn't feel the slightest bit tired.
How did he manage to do this?

Quote #1 If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep. ~Dale Carnegie

Quote #2
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. ~Leo J. Burke

Maintain a healthy sleep routine

2006-09-13T17:52:00.000-07:00

Going to bed at a consistent time every night can help improve your quality of sleep. If you develop a routine of going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time, your body will learn this routine. It will become easier for you to fall asleep at your regular time.
(If you've ever travelled and experienced jet lag, you'll know how difficult it can be to try to break this routine as well!)

Rising at a regular time in the morning will also help to strengthen the routine and help with falling asleep at night.

And don't forget to dress your bed with a fresh set of cozy fleece sheets. You'll be whisked away to dreamland in no time!

We want to hear from you!

2006-08-31T16:13:00.000-07:00

To all of our customers, we love hearing about how you like our cozy fleece bed sheets. Have they helped you improve your sleep and made getting into bed all the more fun and comforting?

Hopefully we'll be able to post some new rave reviews here soon.

Our favorite feedback yet: "I ordered a set from you for my parents for Christmas, and they have been raving about them! On a couple of occasions, they've even taken visitors into their bedroom to show them the sheets. I never thought sheets would be such an exciting gift. They have convinced me that my husband and I should have some too! Thanks!"

We love our fleece sheets, but don't take our word for it! Hear it from the people who use them.

Good sleeping positions

2006-08-15T13:22:00.000-07:00

At Night and Gale Fleece Bed Sheets, we want to help our clients have the most comfortable sleeps possible. Aside from offering our extra cozy fleece sheets, we will continue to add sleeping tips to this blog. Please remember that if you have continued trouble sleeping, you should check with your doctor for any more serious problems.

Sleeping in the correct position can help you have a comfortable sleep, but also prevent waking with backaches or stiffness.

Sleeping on your side
If you find sleeping on your side comfortable, the best way to ensure maximum comfort is to bend your legs slightly and to have a pillow between your legs, or even a full length body pillow. This position can help keep your skips level and reduce any pain you might have there.

Sleeping on your back
Sleeping on your back can be very good if you have lower back pain. The best position to be in is to put a pillow under your knees to remove the strain from your lower back.

Sleeping on your stomach
It is generally not good for your back to sleep on your stomach, but if you need to for some specific reason, then it will help reduce back strain if you put a pillow under your pelvis and abdomen. As well, using a pillow in this position will also cause strain on your neck, so try sleeping without a pillow, or with a very small one.

Why is sleep so important?

2006-07-25T16:03:00.000-07:00

At Night and Gale Fleece Bedsheets, we care about your sleep. That's why we've created a line of premium, cozy fleece sheets designed to help you get the most out of your sleep.

But why is sleep so important?

We know just from experience that sleep makes us feel good. When we have a great sleep, we wake up feeling great. When we have a poor sleep, it is hard to even get out of bed in the morning. Sleep is an essential part of life. Our bodies need it!

The function of sleep is still being studied, but it is believed that sleep performs a restorative function for the brain and body. In early life, sleep deprivation can contribute to a child developing behavioural problems or even decreased brain mass.

Sleep is also just as important for adults and seniors. We all need it so that we maintain our stamina and energy to meet the needs of our day. As people age, they find it more difficult to sleep, due to a decreased hormones and melatonin that promote and regulate sleep. But despite that, it is still important to get as much sleep as when you were younger.

You can help yourself get a good nights sleep by remaining active (exercise is great for making you sleepy), seeing your doctor to address any sleep disorders or other disturbances, and by making your night time environment as comfortable as possible.

Night and Gale Fleece Sheets help you make your bed the most comfortable that it can be. Our cozy sheets wrap you in warmth and softness, keep you warm on cold nights and offer comfort to those with health problems like rheumatism and arthritis.

In this new section of our site we will be posting more sleep tips, ideas and even bedtime stories for your enjoyment.
