Somnex - The Sleep Event, 12th-14th October 2018

There really is nothing better than feeling well-rested. However, while discussing the topic, we at The Amazing Blog found it quite unsettling to find out that the sleep we actually deserve isn’t what we get. And we’re not the only ones, a total of ‘30% of the UK population suffer from poor sleep most nights,’ according to Sleep Advisor, Lisa Artis from The Sleep Council. So, what can we do to get our desired rest?

Luckily for us, this autumn, the world’s first dedicated sleep show SOMNEX launches at the Old Truman Brewery in London. Bringing the sleep industry and sleep deprived population together for a three day event, from the 12th (for corporate and press attendees only) until the 14th of October 2018 (all welcome on the 13th and 14th). It features expert advice, new products that improve our sleep, and interactive experiences that enhance our daily encounters with our beds. There are also different workshops dedicated to help even the most troubled sleepers, with meditation classes, yoga and napping to name but a few.

With the help of professional sleep experts, families and individuals will get guidance through different sleep stages, offering information about the importance of sleep for everyone. Furthermore, the links between sleep and performance on the field, or in the workplace, are drawn in order to underline how it influences our daily lives.

This all sounds really fascinating and who doesn’t want to get in-depth information about how to get the ultimate sleep? The real highlight of the show for us, is the knowledge about how to reduce snoring! These are just a few of the reasons everybody should wander through the gates of pillow heaven to experience the ultimate 3-day relaxation paradise.

In addition to wonderful cures for a relentlessly snoring partner; they also offer pre-bookable one-to-one sessions in order to discuss sleeping issues further. For the beauty sleep seekers, the event offers mindfulness, a beauty bar, skincare solutions and professional massages. With over 100 different companies that all tackle the same issue: giving people the sleep they deserve, the range of products and tips they offer are endless. If you’re interested in spending a once-in-a-lifetime experience surrounded by well rested people, head to the SOMNEX website to get further information about workshops and schedules. You can hold your golden ticket for a reasonable price of only £15, making it a dreamlike investment.

Sleep Tracker Smart - Beddit

Here at The Amazing Blog, we appreciate the importance of a good night’s sleep, both for the beauty benefits and to give us the energy to plough through each day. That is why when we heard that there was a sleep monitoring device that wouldn’t require us to wear a buzzing bracelet or sleep in a contraption that belongs in Space Odyssey, we snapped up the opportunity to give it a go!

The Beddit Sleep Tracker Smart is the ultimate life-hack to help you make the most of your shut-eye time and get going each morning with more energy. Simply place the sleek, minimalist device under your sheet and link it with your mobile phone via the Beddit App (iPhone and Android compatible) to have your quality and length of sleep recorded. Upon waking (the app will kindly wake you at the optimum time), you will receive a SleepScore so that you know how well you slept. While for those who also wish to get down to the science of their sleep, the device measures your resting heart rate so that you can decipher how well you recovered from the day’s workout. This allows you to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury due to inadequate rest and recovery.
