Eat a Healthy Diet
The quality of sleep and diet go hand in hand, as digestion plays a significant role in maintaining good sleep hygiene. First, it’s important to avoid heavy foods in the evening to ease the workload on your digestive system, which is slower at night. Additionally, your dinner time shouldn’t be too late to avoid disrupting your sleep cycle and, consequently, your nights. Opt for light meals early in the evening, allowing you to fully enjoy your evening—perhaps with a pleasant reading session on your Sweet Bed™ by ibis.
Engage in Regular Physical Activity
Regular physical activity promotes restorative sleep and helps you fall asleep. The fatigue caused by this activity will allow you to fall asleep more quickly. The activity doesn’t have to be intense; it can include household chores, gardening, or anything that keeps you moving. If you engage in a stimulating workout, be sure to stop at least an hour before bedtime. During that hour, take the opportunity to unwind and relax your body with a nice warm bath or a soothing shower. For a truly relaxing experience, treat yourself to the Rock Your Body bath products by ibis. The body and hair cleansing shower gel available in our shop will leave a light, refreshing fragrance on your skin. Delicately infused with black tea and sweet orange extracts and scented with fruity notes of bergamot and wood, it will soothe your body and provide you with a restorative night’s sleep. Wrap yourself in our ultra-absorbent, hotel-quality cotton towels before settling into your Sweet Bed™ by ibis.
Choosing a Quality Mattress
Enhancing your sleep experience starts with a quality mattress. You’ve likely experienced that ultimate comfort when sleeping at a hotel, where every night feels perfectly restful. Why not recreate that hotel experience at home? The Sweet Bed™ by ibis hotel bed is designed to provide the perfect balance between a soft welcome and firm support, exactly what you need for nights of deep sleep. Thanks to its high-resilience foam, this mattress absorbs movement, ensuring ideal motion isolation, especially if you share your bed. You’ll no longer feel your partner's movements, allowing you to sleep peacefully.
Have you recently upgraded your mattress? Consider adding an extra layer of comfort to your current bed with our cozy and inviting ibis mattress topper. Designed to fit over any mattress, this hotel topper creates a true cocoon of well-being, making every night feel like you're on a hotel vacation.
Choose a Large and Comfortable Bed
Did you know that the size of your bed can directly impact the quality of your sleep? Studies have shown that the larger your bed, the better your chances of having restful nights. You've probably noticed this during your hotel stays: one of the most memorable comfort experiences is often the size of the bed. Having more space allows you to move freely and find the perfect position without disturbing your partner, thus maximizing your comfort.
By choosing a larger bed, you can recreate that sense of comfort and relaxation at home. The ibis hotel mattress, for example, comes in various sizes, ranging from 100x200 cm to 180x200 cm, allowing you to select the size that best suits your needs. In addition to its size, this hotel mattress ensures maximum motion isolation, meaning you won’t feel your partner’s movements during the night. This is a great advantage for improving your sleep quality and sleeping at home like you would in a hotel.
Opting for a king-size bed is not just about space, but also about comfort and well-being. More sleeping space means more freedom to move, fewer nighttime disturbances, and ultimately, deeper, more restorative sleep.
Hotel-Quality Bed Linen
To improve your sleep quality, nothing beats high-quality bed linen, like the kind you find in the best hotels. Regularly changing your sheets is essential; sleeping in clean, freshly made sheets creates a sense of well-being, conducive to restful sleep. To recreate the hotel experience at home, opt for quality sheets like the ibis cotton percale bedding set. This lightweight and breathable fabric brings the welcoming feel of hotel rooms, offering an unmatched sense of freshness and comfort. By choosing high-quality sheets, you transform your bed into a cozy cocoon, much like the one you’d enjoy upon entering your hotel room. The hotel experience is synonymous with relaxation and serenity, and investing in quality bed linen is a way to bring that spirit into your everyday life. These small adjustments can make a big difference, allowing you to enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep.
Create a Relaxing Environment
To feel good in your bedroom and promote restful sleep, it's essential to create an atmosphere that encourages relaxation. Your room’s decor plays a key role in this environment.

Screen light can negatively impact your sleep by disrupting your internal clock. Opt for dim lighting before bed and choose reading over screens. Also, avoid loud auditory stimuli, as this will help foster a calm mindset and make falling asleep easier. Remember, your bed should primarily be a space dedicated to sleep.
Adjusting the room temperature is also crucial. The ideal temperature is around 18°C-20°C (64°F-68°F), as you’ll sleep much better in a slightly cool room than in one that’s too warm.
Don’t forget to regularly air out your bedroom, ideally every day, to refresh the air and create a healthy environment.
Finally, establish a relaxing bedtime routine, whether it’s through meditation, reading, or enjoying a herbal tea. By repeating these actions, you condition your body for sleep, making it easier to drift off. These practices will help you prepare for the night with serenity, leading to deep and restorative sleep.
Rethink Your Sleep Schedule
Sleep is composed of three stages: light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep (the stage where we dream and experience heightened brain activity). At the beginning of the night, up until about 3 or 4 a.m., deep sleep, which is the most restorative, is most dominant. Therefore, the earlier you go to bed, the more restful your sleep will be, helping you feel more energized in the morning. Support your internal clock by adopting a consistent schedule, both for waking up and going to bed. This consistency helps your body more easily regulate the mechanisms that facilitate falling asleep.
By following these tips, you'll give yourself the best chance to regain restorative sleep and enjoy energy-filled days. Remember, the key to good sleep lies in a healthy routine and a relaxing environment. So, turn your bedroom into a true cocoon of well-being and get ready for peaceful nights.
