Sleeping well is so important

Sleeping well is so important

Posted by Alan Hau on 28th Oct 2017

You have about 8 hours (sometimes less depending on your schedule) to sleep every day, it's essential to make it your best. How many times have you felt tired and zombie-like when you are waking up? When that happens, it impacts your day, and you can't perform your best.

That's why I've created Wooven. One of the best experiences in my life is feeling well rested after a good sleep at a nice hotel. There were a couple of things that gave me the Goldilocks moment:

Lighting (or the lack thereof):

Urbanites just can't stop texting their phones tapping their computers when their bodies are yearning for sleep. All mammals have in-built circadian rhythms, and we keep breaking them. When we do that excessively at night, we disturb melatonin release in our bodies so much that we never fall into deep sleep.

Cleanliness:

Old beds and bedsheets have a funny smell to them. Guess what? The smell gets to you. Our bodies expel oil and shed dead skin, and they accumulate on our bedsheets and furniture. Wash and change them regularly so you can breathe better. Replace them every 1 to 2 years as the fibers wear out over the years.

Comfort:

Bedsheets are the first thing that comes in contact with our skin. When the fabric feels elegant and crisp, there's an unspoken feeling of luxury and comfort that immediately makes me want to run my arms through and snuggle in them.

Guided with that sensation, I searched high and low for these bedsheets. Forget about affordable; they weren't even at a reasonable price. We don't think it should cost a fortune to have a good sleep, so I went directly to the factory that produced bedding for luxury hotels and voila. Check out our high-quality linens.

睡得好,何其重要。

你每天大約有8小時睡眠時間(視乎你的作息,有時可能更少),所以睡得好非常重要。有多少次,你一覺醒來,卻累得像喪屍一樣無精打采?一旦發生這種情況,疲累足以影響你一整天,使你不能做到最好。

這就是我成立 Wooven 的原因。人生中最美好的其中一刻,就是在一間舒適的酒店好好地睡了一覺後,感到無比暢快。有些好處,讓我回味無窮:

照明(或許正因為缺少照明):

都市人即時在極度渴睡時,往往亦無法停止發短訊或按電腦。所有哺乳類動物都有其生理規律,但人類卻時常打破這種規律。當我們在晚上過度耍樂時,就會擾亂身體分泌褪黑激素,以致無法進入深度睡眠。

整潔:

舊床鋪和舊床單總帶有一種奇特的氣味。你知道嗎?你的身體也會散發相同氣味。身體排出的油脂和脫出的死皮,會積聚在床單和傢俬。定期清洗和更換寢具,就可以去除異味。纖維會磨損,因此每隔一至兩年,就需要更換全新床單。

舒適:

床單直接接觸到皮膚,每次感受到那些柔軟順滑的纖維所帶來的無比舒適和奢侈感覺時,都令我忍不住立刻張開雙臂,深深地埋在被窩中。

依照這種感覺為標準,我品評所有高中低價的床單。那些所謂價錢實惠的產品,它們的價錢根本毫不合理。我們不認為想好好睡一覺就一定要花費很多,所以我就直接聯絡那些為高級酒店生產床上用品的工廠。看看我們的優質床上用品吧。
