‘World Sleep Day 2019: ‘Healthy Sleep, Healthy Aging,’ Vencasa, The World Leaders in Sleep, celebrates World Sleep Day this 15th March 2019. This annual event focuses on one of our most basic needs. Sleep is crucial not only to our basic survival but to our overall health and well-being.Lack of sleep can lead to numerous long and short-term health problems, this means that the earlier you find the best sleep solution for your life-stage, the better!

The ideal sleep solution is a vital investment in you and your family’s lives. This year, World Sleep Day focuses on healthy sleep and its impact on healthy aging. Dr. Erik St. Louis, Co-Director of the Mayo Centre for Sleep Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, says, “For most adults, getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep tonight might be the most important thing we can do to improve our future physical and mental health. Recent research has shown the importance of adequate amounts of sleep for brain health, since during sleep, the brain washes away toxins that can potentially damage the aging brain that accumulates during the day while we’re awake.

Sleep also keeps the brain’s wiring and connections healthy and working at their best, especially when learning and remembering new things”.Good quality sleep contributes to aging well – physically and mentally. Getting good sleep during youth and middle age reduces the risk of obesity and hypertension and even prevents against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s Disease later in life. Regular sleep has even been attributed to fewer signs of aging in facial skin and better tissue tone. Beauty sleep is not a myth! Emerging evidence also suggests a connection between premature cell aging and poor sleep. Sleep is our time to regenerate and recharge and we need to make the best of this time.

World Sleep Day reminds us to make quality sleep a high priority. Can you afford not to invest in the very best sleep solutions and technology available? Arianna Huffington, author of The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time confirms, “Sleep is central to every aspect of our mental and physical health, and this is true at every age, from birth onward.

The profound importance of sleep in having a healthy, happy and long life never wanes.”Vencasa knows that your body, mind and soul deserve quality sleep, and provide a range of exceptional sleep solutions to ensure it.

November 2018, De Waterkant, Cape Town, Vencasa, The World Leaders in Sleep, held the official and exclusive opening event, unveiling their brand-new store in the urban renewal Media Quarter in De Waterkant.

Vencasa, the only home of Tempur, Micro-Tech and Magniflex to name a few, opened their new flagship store in true style. Guests were welcomed into the awe-inspiring, spacious Scandi-style store with a glass of bubble and delectable afternoon snacks. The store was alive with the sound of people talking excitedly about the wide range of mattresses, pillows and accessories. The depth in the variety of choices, range of price-points and premium quality offering longevity, were most commented on. The value of investing in quality sleeping solutions, is indisputable.

Greg Smart, CEO of Pharmaline, greeted guests, thanked them for coming and spoke proudly about the new store and their journey to create a space for the world’s best sleep brands. Vencasa has partnered with global and local experts to bring a wide range to the South African market. The Showroom showcases mattresses, headboards, bases and frames, side tables, lamps, occasional furniture, ottomans, linen, pillows and luxurious bedroom accessories, with several price points to accommodate their wide clientele.

Vencasa is made for people looking for a high quality, yet affordable range of products, and the store reflects that. “We have seen a need in the market for mattresses that are both quality and affordable. There is currently a gap between expensive sleep solutions and cheap mattresses, the latter having a short lifespan and counterproductive to health.” explains Greg. “Our drive is to fill this gap with premium products, that are priced realistically, with mattresses starting from R 12 999 upwards. Essentially, our value proposition is to provide the greatest sleep products at a practical price. We source the best products worldwide, the best technology to cater to the diverse needs of sleep lovers and in doing so have learnt that building trust is key and as such, we strive to position ourselves as ‘The Sleep Experts’”.

Greg shared the most recent news of the extension of the range to include Micro-Tech from Tempur and Magni-Stretch mattresses. Plus, following the success of the first Vencasa Pillow Bar, in the country, in Sandton City, the second one has recently opened in Clearwater Shopping Centre. There are 29 different pillows on display, and Vencasa consultants available to advise on the best pillow for you. The lounge and scented pillows being the newest in the collection. A definite scent-sation!

A firm favourite includes the innovative product, SleepSpec, which promotes healthy sleep by blocking out the blue light, emitted by mobile screens, laptops and TVs. The artificial light from LED lights is believed to be responsible for wrecking our sleep. The high levels of blue light suppress melatonin production – the hormone needed for sleep. SleepSpec glasses are an easy solution.

A highlight was when Dr Dale Rale, shared her experience on the Power of Sleep. Dr Dale Rae is a Senior Researcher in the Health through Physical Activity Lifestyle and Sport Research Centre within the Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT. Her research focuses on Sleep physiology and Chronobiology (the study of the body’s circadian (24h) rhythms). She is particularly interested in how sleep is associated with health (obesity, non-communicable diseases) and performance. Dr Rae is also the Director of Sleep Science at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA), which offers sleep assessment, coaching and education services to the public.

Says Dr Dale Rae, “With today’s frenetic 24/7 availability and mentality of fitting in as much as we can in a day – many of us sacrifice sleep to gain ‘extra time’, thinking that we will be able to do more; be better people who give more – or successfully climb the corporate ladder faster than others. The reality is that compromised sleep compromises our performance in the short term, and our health in the long term.”    Guests listened intently while lounging on the beds, sipping bubbly and eating delicious snacks, followed by testing the pillows and experiencing the Tempur Sleep Centre. Greg explained, “Vencasa means ‘come home’, and the new stores portray that superbly. We invite our guests to feel at home and take their time when choosing a mattress and sleep solution. Bring a book and relax in our stores.”   Vencasa, The World Leaders in Sleep, know that your body, mind and soul deserve quality sleep, and provide a range of exceptional sleep solutions to ensure it.

Below are some tips, for more comfortable travelling:  

Driving

Position your seat so that you can easily reach the wheel and get your feet on the pedals

Adjust the seat to have your knees slightly higher than your hips

Change the seat position occasionally by tilting slightly forward or slightly backwards

Avoid slumping forward or sitting in a twisted position

Invest in a Tempur lumbar support or a seat pad for additional support and comfort

Frequently reposition your hands on the wheel to take strain off your upper back and neck muscles

Stop every few hours and stretch or walk around

Keep hydrated to avoid build-up of lactic acid in overworked muscles, which can cause stiffness

Passengers should adopt a similar approach to posture 

Flying

Position your feet hip-width apart on the floor, avoid sitting cross-legged and twisting

Change the seat back position frequently, slightly forward or backwards

If you travel with your own pillow – cover it with a towel (or take a spare pillowcase) and put your feet on it – this relieves lower leg ache (a pressure relieving pillow works best)

The Malouf travel pillow is light-weight and ideal for flights

The Malouf scented pillow is the latest in the collection, and guests were curious to smell and lie on them. A definite scent-sation!   The innovative product, SleepSpec was demonstrated, which is a unique need created by our modern-day living – and it promotes healthy sleep, which is disrupted by the continuous use of screens.

The artificial light from LED lights, televisions, cell phones, tablets and e-readers is believed to be responsible for wrecking our sleep. They all emit high levels of blue light which suppress melatonin production – the hormone needed for sleep. SleepSpec are an easy solution to deal with the problem of blue light in our environment. The scientifically engineered orange lenses eliminate blue light from one’s environment allowing the body to produce melatonin and prepare for a good night’s sleep. Who would have thought that wearing ‘sunglasses at night’ would actually help you get to sleep and stay asleep?

Dr Robert Daniel, a Specialist Ophthalmologist with training in Human Physiology and Neuroscience is available to discuss the research and science behind why blue light and specifically using electronics at night is affecting sleep quality. He can also explain how using SleepSpec can help improve one’s sleep, general health, sports and physical performance as well as how SleepSpec can be used to manage jetlag. (Please let me know if you'd like more info and I will put you in touch with them directly).   Guests listened intently while lounging on the beds, sipping bubbly and eating delicious snacks, followed by testing the pillows and experiencing the Tempur Sleep Centre.

Vencasa celebrates World Sleep Day this 16th March 2018 as it brings awareness to the importance and pleasure of quality sleep. Sleep is our most basic need, crucial to our overall health and well-being. Lack of sleep can lead to numerous long and short-term health problems including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. In general, it leads to poor alertness, reduced concentration, low memory recall, and poor academic productivity.

‘Join the Sleep World, Preserve Your Rhythms to Enjoy Life,’ intends to emphasise the importance of circadian rhythms in healthy sleep, and inspired by the recent Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine assigned to three researchers who have dedicated their studies to circadian rhythms.

Circadian rhythms refer to cyclic events within the body such as rhythms in hormones, body temperature and alertness levels. Biological clocks from within the body produce circadian rhythms, but environmental factors such as sunlight also affect them. Preserving regular circadian rhythms have been found to lower the risk of sleep disorders, mental health disorders and chronic health issues such as obesity and diabetes.

• Sound sleep is one of the three pillars of good health along with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
• There are close to 100 disorders of sleep, but most are modifiable and manageable with the help of sleep specialists.
• Individuals who get an entire night’s sleep without any interruptions experience lower rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other chronic illnesses.

Arianna Huffington, formerly of The Huffington Post and author of The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time states, “Sleep is the underpinning of our entire well-being. For centuries people thought that sleep was a time of inactivity, that the brain was resting. But all the new science proves that the opposite is true — that during sleep the brain is in a state of intense activity, which is necessary for us to fully recharge and be productive, creative and truly connect with ourselves and others during the day.”

General Facts on World Sleep Day

• World Sleep Day is an annual event to raise awareness of sleep disorders and the burden that they place on society. World Sleep Day 2018 will be held on Friday, March 16, 2018.
• Most sleep disorders are preventable or treatable, yet less than one-third of sufferers seek professional help.
• Sleep problems constitute a global epidemic that threatens health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world’s population.
• Better understanding of sleep conditions and more research into the area will help reduce the burden of sleep disorders on society.
• Three elements of good quality sleep are:
  • Duration: The length of sleep should be sufficient for the sleeper to be rested and alert the following day.
  • Continuity: Sleep periods should be seamless without fragmentation.
  • Depth: Sleep should be deep enough to be restorative.

Below are some tips from Vencasa to ensure quality sleep
