Since it began, Sleep Awareness Week has acted as a spring-board for some truly fascinating conversations around various aspects of slumber. And each year Sleep Week coincides with the start of Daylight Saving Time, and also sees the publication of the National Sleep Foundation’s annual Sleep In America poll. This year the random-sample survey looked at whether the public think the changing of the clocks affects their sleep, and discovered that over 70% said (opens in new tab) it doesn’t.
How we are celebrating Sleep Awareness Week
We too recognize the importance of sleep as one of the main pillars for better health, alongside regular exercise, eating healthily, and being kind to your mind with regular mental wellbeing practices. So for Sleep Awareness Week 2021, we will be publishing a series of articles around snoozing, as well as helping you understand how to buy the best mattress online (opens in new tab) for your dominant sleep position (if you don’t know, we’ll help you), and why the best pillows for sleeping (opens in new tab) are a cheaper yet worthwhile investment for your sleep health.
