It’s time to treat sleep like sport. You’d never run a marathon without training, and your training goes a whole lot better if your trainers suit your feet and you’ve got your headphones and water bottle.  Likewise, your sleep tends to go better if your bedroom and living space are properly set up for a good night ahead. Maybe you’ve heard us talk about ‘sleeping clean’ before. Well, for our #TryFor8 coaching programme on the free Simba Sleep App, Peta...

We’ve all been there. Some mornings — and afternoons, and evenings — there’s simply no way to deal with people. Especially if the night before was far from being a dream. But why is it that sleeping badly makes us so inclined to be grumpy and uncooperative? Experts reckon it all comes down to a part of the brain that’s been with us since the days when we were watching out for sabre-toothed tigers rather than squaring off with Sarah...

Why do experts go on about sleeping for 8 hours? Well, there’s a scientific answer that we’ll get into, but we don’t actually think that’s the most pressing question. More to the point: is the UK getting enough sleep? The answer is simple: no. You should be getting about 8 hours in bed every night. The UK is actually getting closer to 6. That’s why we’ve teamed up with England’s fastest rising rugby star, Maro Itoje, to inspire and coach...

Our days and our bodies run on all sorts of cycles, such as the circadian rhythm - a roughly 24-hour body clock that tells us when we should sleep and wake. And there are a number of ultradian rhythms, which run through the course of one day, such as peaks and troughs in energy and focus. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that sleep itself follows a...

When it comes to sleep, you’ve probably heard a lot about blue light from screens having a disruptive effect. But you shouldn’t get the idea that all light is bad for sleep. A lot of it has to do with a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is what tells your mind and body that it’s time to sleep, and light exposure is an important way you regulate production. The melatonin maker The part of your brain that triggers melatonin production is...

What does it mean to be creative? Can dreams unlock our potential? And is it possible to make a living out of creativity and still get your eight hours a night? We put all these questions and more to a man who has lived and breathed creativity over a career so rich and varied he was knighted for it: Sir John Hegarty. The advertising genius sat down to talk about his experiences leading creative powerhouse Bartle Bogle Hegarty (better known...

Is your partner ruining your sleep life? 45% of over 1,000 UK sleepers we surveyed told us their partner was an obstacle to getting a good night’s sleep - and not in a good way. So we thought we’d hop between the sheets with someone who lives and breathes relationships from a creative point of view: author Jenny Colgan. The bestselling romance and sci fi writer shared her thoughts on coordinating sleep schedules, insomnia and bedroom bugbears - and somehow...

Edge support, that is. If you habitually cling to the edge of the mattress while you sleep, or perch on the side in the morning, you might have noticed that some mattresses - particularly those that are only made with foam - can dip there. That’s why the Simba Hybrid® Mattress has 360° support, which we call Edge Lift. How does Edge Lift work? The Simba Hybrid® Mattress isn’t a simple stack of foam - you know, the kind that...
