Getting a good night’s sleep is about more than just closing your eyes—it’s about building the right environment and habits to help your body fully recharge. At Seva Mattress, we believe healthy sleep begins with strong sleep hygiene. By following simple, consistent routines, you can improve rest quality, reduce nighttime stress, and wake up feeling refreshed.
Why Sleep Hygiene Matters
Most of us focus only on the mattress or pillow we sleep on, but sleep hygiene goes beyond that. It’s a combination of habits, lifestyle choices, and environment that directly affect how long and how deeply we sleep.
- Poor sleep hygiene can lead to restlessness, trouble falling asleep, and waking up tired.
- Good sleep hygiene, on the other hand, supports consistent, restorative sleep cycles.
- Over time, it contributes to better mood, stronger immunity, and improved daily performance.
If you’re already using a supportive mattress from Seva, improving your bedtime routine is the next step to maximize comfort and wellness.
Key Insights: Benefits of a Strong Bedtime Routine
Consistency is King
Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps regulate your body’s internal clock. Even on weekends, sticking to your schedule will:
- Reduce morning grogginess
- Help you fall asleep faster
- Promote longer deep sleep phases
Creating the Right Environment
Your bedroom should feel like a dedicated sleep sanctuary:
- Keep it cool: 16–19°C is ideal.
- Reduce light: Use blackout curtains or a sleep mask.
- Cut noise: Try earplugs, white noise, or calming sounds.
For added comfort, consider a breathable bamboo mattress that regulates temperature naturally.
Unplug Before Bed
Blue light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime. Avoid phones, laptops, or TVs for at least 30 minutes before bed. Instead, try:
- Light reading
- Meditation or gentle stretching
- Journaling to clear your mind

FAQs About Sleep Hygiene
What is the best time to go to bed for quality sleep?
Most adults benefit from sleeping between 10 PM and 11 PM, which aligns with natural circadian rhythms. The key is consistency—choose a time and stick with it.
How long does it take to improve sleep with good hygiene?
You may notice improvements within a week, but it usually takes 3–4 weeks of consistent habits to reset your sleep patterns fully.
Do I need a new mattress for better sleep hygiene?
Not always—but if your mattress is sagging, uncomfortable, or more than 8–10 years old, replacing it can drastically improve your sleep quality. Consider Seva’s breathable bamboo mattress for both comfort and durability.
