Studies in sleep – conclusions drawn from blogs this week
Now that we have introduced you to the common sleep factor problems students encounter and the potential solutions to them Millbrook Contract Beds would like to lend itself to recommendations on how student residences and students houses can help in their ongoing battle with optimising sleep – our answer is academic contract beds.
Of course, sometimes its not up to the individual student and mostly down to landlords and residential lettings in terms of bed quality but as a student you have a right to demand a decent bed. Just because they’ve given you some dust-mite ridden ten year old mattress and cheap wooden slat base doesn’t mean you can’t demand better.
Our recommendations are that you select genuine academic contract beds intended for the very purpose of making your sleeping life easier and effortless. Millbrook specialise in contract beds that are handmade to create the ultimate in luxury sleep. Our 60 years experience has given us the blueprint from which to base our incomparable designs. When it comes to the comfort needs of the academic industry we offer our Academic Collection.
The Campus
The Campus is a smart design that features open coil springs and a standard comfort level. This tends to be the most popular bed for halls of residences, student accommodations and hostels. The mattress has a fresh design in an easy to clean stitchbond cover. The bed frame is available with fixed or detached legs. It’s worth investing in a durable bed for student housing because you want the beds to last beyond just one student stay.
The Conference
Meet the bed that is ideal for space-saving! The Conference has an open coil mattress on a metal skid leg base. With a wipe clean breathable mattress cover that can be leaned time and time again. The fabric which we use dissipates body heat too. No night sweats here! It contains high levels of woollen felt to ensure comfort levels are maintained.
The Residence
Sometimes all you need for those short-term student stays are beds that are reliable and efficient. The Residence has a PVC mattress cover and is highly practical and durable in many types of locations. It’s a hard wearing and comfortable design. It’s also ideal for wipe clean hygiene purposes.
This collection combines practicality, comfort and economy to create an ideal sleep scenario for younger persons who need to get a good night’s sleep.
We can only offer the most comfortable option for students to help them get the best sleep possible, but it is up to the individuals to make sure they regulate their sleep environments to make them fit for a peaceful night ahead.
Get rid of the distractions in the room, set yourself regular sleep hours and avoid all the pitfalls of sleep affecting behaviour.
This Millbrook Contract Beds signing off for the weekend. Good sleeping to everybody!
An Education in Sleep
In our last blog we discussed the problems that have been documented by scientific studies and surveys regarding the nature of student sleep cycles for both children and teenagers. Students tend to sleep odd hours due to their thirst for nocturnal awareness and activity. Millbrook Contract Beds has very much been interested in exploring these problems further and finding the solutions to what could be described as an epidemic of sleep deprivation for the youth of today.
Following on from our introduction in the previous blog now we want to get into exploring the potential solutions to this problem. For students of all ages – teenagers or even those in their twenties – here’s some advice to help you to focus on, absorb and retain information imparted to you in class through better sleep routines.
1. Revision is a necessity for some students and a pre-requisite of any major course at college or university. We recommend that you stop your revision a good hour or two before you want to sleep. You brain needs to wind down and in order to process everything you have been studying over the course of the evening it needs adequate sleep time.
2. Exercise is a great option, especially if you’re already sporty. It’s a perfect way to reduce stress levels and tire you out to help sleep.
3. One major problem that students seem to frequently cause themselves sis eating heavy ad unhealthy meals just before bed – whether they do this in a drunken stupor or simply because they are pressed for time, it spells bad things for your sleep. Don’t eat a heavy meal too close to bedtime or your body will not be able to relax due to the digestion and acids churning around in your stomach. This is why many people suffer with heartburn during the night.
4. A simple piece of advice is to completely avoid caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee, or fizzy drinks after 6pm. These only serve to unnecessarily stimulate you when you should be winding down.
5. Enjoy a glass of milk before bed instead. Milk contains a chemical called tryptophan which is an essential component of the body’s sleep mechanism. This is a highly recommended technique, especially if you like to have a cold drink before bed – forget the alcohol and fizzies – and say yes to milk!
6. Make sure your room is entirely prepped to go dark when your lights go out. Complete darkness helps you to feel as though you are already on your way to sleep (like a general form of hypnosis) and there is nothing left to distract your eyes. Turn off all electronics so there are no lights or blinks or beams within eyeshot – yes, this includes mobiles. No one should need to call you in the middle of the night!
7. A strange but effective tip is to wear socks to bed. Feet have the poorest circulation in the body and therefore heat escapes from your body this way. Warm comfort is key though this is not to be confused with making yourself hot. Too hot or too cold can be just as bad as each other.
8. Ever tried counting sheep when you have had trouble getting to sleep? The night before an exam can cause a lot of stress and keep you awake as the anxiety gets to you. Try counting sheep. It focuses the mind on a mundane task instead of your worries and stresses. Although it is recommended that if you really cannot sleep you should get up and do something to make yourself feel naturally tired such as read a book.
9. Try to avoid the presence of TV, co mputers in your bedroom unless of course you don’t have anywhere else for them to be as it can be all too tempting to take a peek at Facebook or your email instead of sleeping– we do realise this is the least likely tip to ever be taken up by a student. Internet access and televisions are such commonplace in a student room that it would hardly be a student room without them. But see if you can do without them for a day and see how you do.
10. The night before an exam can be a very stressful one. Often the adrenaline keeps you awake and sees yout rhough into the next day. Our only recommendation is that you don’t start taking sleep medication to assist you. Unless you have a diagnosed sleep disorder and have been recommended by a doctor to take it you don’t need it.
And those are our top tips for student survival when it comes to sleep and study. In the next part in this blog series we will talk about sleeping environments and the academic contract beds we have designed to optimise sleep for those who have educational commitments.

Students Need Sleep – An Introduction to Catching Zzzz’s
Poor sleep can affect a student’s grades, motivation, concentration and their emotional state. With more and more stories popping up in the news about 11-20 year old age groups suffering in education simply because they do not have consistent sleep patterns Millbrook Contract Beds thought it was time to take a look at some of the issues behind this and some of the potential solutions.
Recent studies conducted in different countries by a range of highly respected sleep clinics has determined that younger persons really do need to get roughly 10 hours per night. That includes teenagers. Remember, their bodies and minds are still developing and to nurture that they need adequate sleep time.
College and university students are among the most sleep-deprived out of all demographics simply because of their 24 hour party lifestyle and then vigorous hours of study and research crammed in between. It can be seriously crippling to a young person. Many of these students settle having between 4-6 hours worth of sleep yet it is the first two and last two hours of sleep that matter most hence why 8 hours should be the minimum in order to fully recharge and reset.
The all-nighter is infamous as being an opportunity to study or an excuse to socialise, hard. Sleep deprivation has been proven to impair mental function and ultimately weaken the immune system. Sleep is essential, and has been scientifically proven, to maintain memory, mood, and overall cognitive performance.
If the students are still in school and under the roof of their parents then it up to the parents to enforce stricter bedtime rules and ensure their children are getting the hours required for them to be alert and aware come the morning ring of the school bell. However, once teenager reach 16 they begin to flirt with independence in their learning and education by choosing college and courses that suit their desires and pursuits. This is when they begin deciding what they want to do with their lives and how they choose to live them. Usually, bed time rules cease to apply to them and they begin making their own.
So if you’re a student and you’re independent from home without rules and restrictions from parents; stay with our blog this week for an in-depth exploration of how sleep can be optimised to help academic studies. We can help you achieve a better quality of sleep and fully realise your potential for absorbing more information in classes/lectures.
Ideally you should be getting 9 hours of sleep a night as a teenager. That won’t always be possible of course. Sometimes circumstances just make that impossible and we understand that.
If you want to be on top form in an exam then it’s essential you get a good night sleep. In the next part in this blog series we will tell you how!
Millbrook Contract Beds is dedicated to providing the best sleep experiences for everyone and we hope we can be of help in our blog from time-to-time. For academic contract beds please follow the link or for general sleep advice follow us on Twitter and the blog.
Win your war against insomnia – sleep advice from Millbrook
Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint, and most people consider it the inability to sleep. Granted, it comes from a Latin phrase meaning “no sleep”, but the modern definition of insomnia covers a great deal more than just not drifting off. Sufferers of insomnia do not receive the full restorative effects of sleep, whether it be from waking up too early or from merely not experiencing a restful night. Difficulty staying asleep is another possible symptom of insomnia. We at Millbrook Contract Beds have been gathering a few interesting facts about insomnia – so you don’t have to lose any sleep over the effort!
With between 30% and 40% of adults in any given year, it remains an incredibly common and a wildly subjective complaint. The potential causes of insomnia are numerous – sometimes it can be a symptom of other conditions and illnesses or a side effect of prescribed medication, while other occurrences are put down to stress or brought on by night time pain. Jet lag can also bring insomnia with it, as it leads to your internal clock being out of synch with your environment. Sometimes these causes can be easy to combat (changing medication, say, or taking painkillers), but other root problems are not so simple to deal with. Controlling stress levels, for instance, is rarely a procedure that can be carried out overnight.
In itself, insomnia can be a temporary or a long-lived condition, lasting anything between a single night and years. Chronic-intermittent insomnia is quite a common occurrence in long-term sufferers, with the condition worsening for several nights followed by a short run of good sleeps. These chronic insomniacs often experience frustrating wakefulness in daytime. If not treated properly, insomnia can lead to an increased likelihood of contracting illnesses and an increase in the frequency of morbid thoughts. Poorer overall health has been noted in insomniacs, as well as lesser concentration and greater irritability.
If you find you have difficulty sleeping, consider whether any stressors or current events may have an effect on your condition. If you can identify a possible cause, it is recommended to tackle the problem at the root. However, if you are unable to either identify a cause or take care of it, professional treatment may well be in order. Millbrook Contract Beds recommends that a doctor is always consulted if symptoms persist.
Some factors may help to alleviate the issue at least in part, however. Establishing a regular routine is essential and eating and drinking close to bedtime must be kept to a minimum. A cool, dark room will be best for your sleep, while the sounds of bedside fans or air conditioning machines may serve to soothe you and reduce outside sounds. Caffeine, alcohol and nicotine all have effects on wakefulness too and so it would be good to avoid these substances, especially closer to bedtime.

5 ways to improve your guests’ sleep experience
We at Millbrook Contract Beds understand thoroughly what goes into a good night’s sleep. Our years of experience in providing top quality and value contract beds for the hospitality industry has taught us a thing or two about how to provide the perfect night’s sleep for all of your guests. We thought we’d pass on a couple of top tips for how to create the ultimate sleeping setup, so without any further ado, here’s our top five!
1. Noise
It’s fairly safe to say that excessive noise is a huge cause of disturbed sleep in hotels across the country, especially in regards to city hotels with busy traffic circulating constantly nearby. Earplugs are an archaic solution and rather outdated – not to mention uncomfortable and potentially dangerous if they get stuck!
Many hotels around the world have invested in optional white noise generators – this curious phenomenon is taking off all over the world and helps to block out unnecessary and obtrusive sounds. Of course, double glazing your hotel’s windows can stop almost all exterior sounds, and would be recommended to any hoteliers looking at cutting down on disruptive noise.
2. Temperature
Generally an optimum sleeping environment is fairly cool, but sleeping with a window open may counteract the sound-reducing benefits of your newly installed double glazing. Individual thermostats and air conditioning systems may seem like an expensive solution at first but this extra touch is one all your customers will notice and appreciate.
3. Comfort
Every sleeper prefers a different sort of pillow – some like firm, some like soft, and different pillows are more suited to different sleeping positions than others. Many high-end hoteliers offer their guests a choice of pillows, fully customised to their sleeping needs, but even a choice of two is an extra feature that makes a difference and an impression.
Of course we need to mention how great an impact the quality of your hotel contract beds makes – this simply can’t be understated, so do go for the highest quality bed your budget allows for. Do contact us with details on any individual requests or specifications to make your hotel stand out even further.
4. Advice
Leaflets or booklets with advice and recommendations to your guests on how to make the most of their night’s sleep can lead to a marked increase in reported sleep quality. Information about relaxation techniques and general guidance (such as “don’t read, work or eat in your hotel contract bed!”) can be included, and this could be an opportunity to let your guests know what sleep assistance is available to them.
5. Extra Services
The idea of a pillow menu is quite an ingenious one, but there are many other potential sleep niches that could make your establishment stand out. Aromatherapy has been suggested to help with relaxation and so could be considered – some hotels also offer spa facilities to really relax their guests. For those with a more finite budget, a simple alarm call service is a friendly and helpful way to make a difference.
These are only a few of the virtually limitless options and services that an establishment such as yours could offer to improve customer satisfaction, so keep an eye on our blog for more ideas. Don’t forget to keep your hotel contract beds in tip-top condition too!
Improving your quality of sleep
Sleep is a wonderful thing. You can have little naps, long snoozes, afternoon siestas and doze off after a long day at work. Reclining on a hammock on a summer’s day, falling asleep with a good book in front of a log fire or in one of our luxury contract beds, there are so many ways experience the wonderful effects of sleep. Following your slumber, you always awake refreshed and restored, ready to kick-start the day! …Or do you?
If you’re struggling to set off to the Land of Nod you’re not alone, approximately one in seven people suffer from some sort of sleep disorder. The major conditions such as insomnia and narcolepsy are well known, but with over 70 officially diagnosed sleep related disorders, many more minor troubles are experienced on a regular basis across the world. These problems seem to get more and more likely as you get older – an estimated 50% of people over 65 experience difficulty sleeping.
Of course, the more serious or persistent of these issues have corresponding medical solutions, so Millbrook recommends you should always seek professional medical advice as standard procedure. However, if you’re feeling tired during the day or waking up earlier than you’d like without feeling refreshed, it goes without saying that your sleep is of poor quality and could potentially be improved. Bad quality sleep has also been linked to such symptoms as depression, lack of concentration and memory problems, so the importance of a good night’s rest can’t be understated!
There are many ways to improve the quality of your sleep – apart from simply investing in one of our contract beds! Over the years, a multitude of studies have been conducted into the purposes of sleep and, from them, how to best improve people’s sleeping experience. Here at Millbrook we’ve been scouring these studies to bring you some advice on how to get the best out of your forty winks!
In a study into the effects of music on students with poor sleep it was found that the use of ‘relaxing’ classical music for 45 minutes at bedtime led to a reported increase in sleep quality, as well as a significant reduction in depressive symptoms. Listening to such music has also been linked to reductions in blood pressure and decreases in anxiety, so for a top quality sleep stick on some Chopin or Debussy!
An alternative to music seems to be exercise. In a study where participants were instructed to, four times a week, spend 30 to 40 minutes performing low impact aerobics or brisk walking, sleep quality was reported as having improved across the board. Tai Chi has been suggested as a great aid in pre-sleep preparation too, so don’t discard the idea of trying something new to work towards a better sleep!
We remain supremely confident that our contract beds will go a long way towards giving you the perfect night’s sleep, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to strive for an even better rest! Sleep well…
National Stop Snoring Week with Millbrook Contract Beds
This week is National Stop Snoring Week – it’s an annual event promoting general awareness that nobody need suffer as a result of snoring: this is a condition that can be treated. One of the most direct steps to addressing a snoring problem that has been pointed out to you is to see your Doctor. However, there are other tips and tricks you can try which we shall document in our blog here today…
Did you know that snoring is one of the most common sleep disorders in the entire world? It’s so common that many people who share a bed with a snorer will suffer interrupted sleep during the night that can lead to all sorts of problems later. Millbrook Contract Beds investigates…
What causes snoring?
The science behind snoring suggests it occurs due to the resonating sound caused by irregular breathing patterns. However, people do tend to snore for a variety of different possible reasons. Identifying the root cause of the snoring disorder will help to find a cure.
Is your snoring a positional problem, as in you only snore depending on what position you are sleeping in? Or is it a problem that is more directly tied to lifestyle and your body?
The sound you hear when someone is snoring is caused by the vibration of relaxed, floppy tissues that line the upper airway passage. Basically, when you sleep all the muscles in your body relax which decreases the diameter of your airway passage. This can cause, in some people, a partial block of airflow that leads to air flowing in gusts. As the air bounces around the airway passage it causes the muscles to vibrate like a flag in the wind. This is when a person will snore.
People tend to snore as they get older due to the body muscles becoming more and more weak and flaccid.
How can you stop snoring?
In some cases, snoring can be self-controlled. However, the condition often requires medical advice or home treatments. There are over-the-counter remedies that can be tried first. Some really do help to curtail the snoring. Other options include a variety of snoring solution techniques and gadgets such as mouth guards, chin straps, nasal valve dilators etc.
Other options in terms of home treatments and natural remedies include:
1. Take a tablespoon of honey before going to bed
2. Try not to sleep on your back. It is preferable for snorers to sleep on their side
3. Obvious causes of snoring can be attributed to alcohol intake. Don’t drink before bed!
4. Elevate your head to help easier breathing
5. Fat deposits are major contributing factors to snoring so come up with a regular exercise regime and a balanced diet. This good in general for a healthy lifestyle
6. The quality of the contract beds you sleep in make a big difference too. We don’t have to remind you of the importance of comfortable, durable and quality contract beds!
If these techniques do not have the required affect then perhaps seeking out a medical source for advice is a better option. Treatments can help snorers to avoid the occurrence of sleep apnoea and abnormal body movements.
Snoring is a one of those few medical conditions that don’t necessarily torment the sufferer so much as it does the person who sleeps next to the sufferer. It’s best to try and rectify the problem, especially if it is for the benefit of your partner!

Millbrook Contract Beds – Can’t sleep, won’t sleep
We could all recite the bad night’s sleep we have had at some point during our lifetime – whether it’s a new baby or a new house and unfamiliar noises. We’ve all been there haven’t we? Well perhaps there are a lucky few who haven’t but if you’re not one of those then you may want to discover just why we can’t sleep or won’t sleep.
The potential causes of lost sleep or lack of it can range from financial worries (a very common anxiety), stress from work or personal life, poor health, eating too close to bedtime and even snoring from their partner. However, very few people ever really consider that the cause of a bad night’s sleep could be their old bed.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of people suffering in silence from their uncomfortable beds having no idea that the primary cause for all their discomfort is down to the fact their bed is way past its prime. It’s down to the fact we don’t really look at or consider our beds nearly enough. Some people only see a bed as an aesthetic element of their bedroom, not a practical piece of furniture that has a significant function to play in our sleeping and waking lives. The same commonality can be found in hotel rooms – a fundamental lack of understanding regarding the importance of good sleep has been lost.
A degraded, past its sell-by-date bed can lead to physical ailments such as neck ache or back ache or even worse – needles and pins in the morning! So why do so many people avoid getting a new bed when it is clear the old one just ain’t working for them no more?
Here at Millbrook Contract Beds, we believe the biggest concern with bed buyers is that when they come to the end of the road with their bed, they worry about the cost of buying a new one. That’s a huge part of the problem – and then that worrying leads to another sleepless night in the same bad bed. It’s a self perpetuating nightmare.
Sleep deprivation due to the torturous contours and lumps of an old bed is actually a very common occurrence; 1 in 5 people in the UK reveal that they suffer with sleep issues.
Dr Chris Idzikowski, a leading sleep expert, conducted a very interesting study back in the tail end of the late 1980’s. Through rigorous tests over some time he discovered and concluded that by simply swapping an old, uncomfortable bed for a quality new bed the results produced an average extra sleep time of 42 minutes per night. This experiment was a good indicator that beds contribute to a brighter, better feeling the next morning.
Lost sleep leads to bigger affects in your daily life. Anyone who has ever gone to work after only a few hours sleep will know just how much that statement is true. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a good, quality bed either. We are proof of that.

The Sleep Tourist – Experience your own “Sleep Holiday”
Following up from our last blog on sleep tourism and the new practices and technologies being introduced with it to the hospitality industry, Millbrook Contract Beds thought that we would give you the tips on how to take your own sleep holiday without ever having to pay the prices that some people pay for a sleep tourist experience!
So get your metaphorical bags packed and take the tour with us…
First step to taking your own, personal sleep holiday:
Unplug from the world. Think about how much your spend your time wired in to mobile phones, computers, music players, televisions, Internet connections, tablets, etc. These devices have their use and their purpose but for some reason over the past20 years they have slowly found their way into our bedrooms where their presence interferes with a good night’s sleep.
If you have ever wondered why you find it hard to put the kids to bed it’s because their restless minds have been conditioned to remaining active whilst in their bedrooms because of the unlimited access to all these devices.
So to begin YOUR sleep holiday – UNPLUG.
Electronic devices can disrupt sleep in a number of ways. The light emitting from them can interfere with the body’s sleep rhythms and the production of the sleep-inducing hormone called melatonin. Devices like mobiles and computers provide mental stimulation, or even stress, that can ultimately affect your sleep. Even though you may be going to sleep your mind is still aware that these devices are still there and still functioning during your sleep – making it difficult for you yourself to switch off completely.
So UNPLUG from it all and clear these things out of your room or at least put them away in a wardrobe or cupboard.
Next up you need to RELAX.
Not just your body and mind, but your external environment i.e. your bedroom. Everything in that space affects your sleeping patterns and your depth of sleep. Redesign and rejiggle your bedroom to really give yourself your own DIY Sleep Holiday. The quality of your beds and mattresses and pillows are a large part of this (we wouldn’t be here if they weren’t!)
Change the layout to suit how best you can rest. It is far too easy for bedrooms to get cluttered up with stuff you don’t need nor want anymore. Dust accumulates on top of everything and eventually you end up sleeping in an unhealthy atmosphere. Make-over your sleep space. Treat yourself to new curtains, bedding, pillows, even a new bed! Add in the use of sleep machines designed to help you fall asleep (the sound of lightly falling rain, quiet white noise, cool breezes, low hums etc.)
Take time to clear out the clutter! Think of the process as creating your own getaway and retreat when you feel tired from the day.
Finally, indulge your mind and body in the same de-cluttering and RELAX.
If you have a partner get them to give you a deep, sensual massage or practice some of the tricks of yoga to help your body find its balance. These practices help to release pent up stresses both mental and physical.
If you have the time before retreating to this new luxury haven of sleep and rejuvenation – take a long, warm and muscle-relaxing bath. Sleep is not a luxury but a necessity, but there is no reason why you can’t enjoy it in luxury.
Bring more sleep into your daily life and treat yourself to your own sleep holiday and become a DIY Sleep Tourist!
