How nice of you to take a look at our blog.
We are Weids Living and Sleeping a company with a passion for providing a good night’s sleep. Are you curious to find out why?

Imagine this: you’ve had a busy day and by the afternoon you’re really in need of a power nap. Just a quick recharge before tackling the rest of your to-do list. You close your eyes for 20 minutes… but it quickly turns into 2 hours. Before you know it, you’ve fallen into a deep sleep and wake up feeling completely disoriented. As a result, you often feel even more tired than before, and even less gets done from your to-do list.

Do you recognise this? You’re chatting with a friend who still feels tired after 8 hours of sleep with the dark circles to prove it while you feel fresh and energised after just a modest 5 hours. Of course, this could be due to the quality of your bed or pillow. But it might also be linked to your zodiac sign. Some signs simply need more sleep than others. Does your sleep need match your zodiac sign?

Cosy evenings, sleepovers, sleeping in, and long light-filled days it must be the summer holidays!
But every good thing must come to an end, including staying up late. It’s almost time for school again, and your children will need to get up early. After all those fun late nights, that routine is no longer in their system. That’s why it’s a good idea to gently get children back into the right rhythm before school starts. But how do you do that?

Do you sometimes struggle to fall asleep? Or do you find yourself tossing and turning for hours? This can often be improved by developing an evening routine. Over time, your brain will recognise that it’s time to sleep. That’s why we’ve put together 6 tips for a good evening routine.

Everyone keeps telling you the same thing: “Watch out for blue light!” “The light from your phone is terrible for your sleep!” “If you want to sleep well, you’d better stay away from your phone!” And so on.

In the end, it all comes down to the same message: the blue light from your smartphone has a negative effect on your sleep and, as a result, on how refreshed you feel when you wake up in the morning. But how big is that effect really?

Back in the day, when everything was supposedly better though not entirely “we” used to sleep under blankets, like those pastel-coloured woollen ones, where you’d sometimes wake up in the middle of winter to find frost on them. These stories resurface in the family every year around January or February.

The nostalgia is wonderful, but we’re all very glad that our homes are now better insulated and the frost stays nicely outside. And, perhaps even more importantly, that a 4 seasons duvet is now available to everyone. But what exactly is a 4 seasons duvet? We’ll explain it here.

Snoozing is a global health problem. There, I’ve said it. I probably won’t make myself popular with that statement, but I’m going to say it anyway. Snoozing is addictive and it’s unhealthy, and yet almost all of us do it again every morning.

So what is it about snoozing that makes it so tempting? How bad can it really be, and why is it wise to keep it to a minimum?

For many parents, this will sound familiar. Your child wakes up during the night and comes to snuggle into your bed. Some don’t mind this at all and even find it cosy and comforting. Others, however, start to wonder whether it might be time for their child to sleep in their own bed. But what is the right thing to do? There isn’t really a single correct answer. Opinions on this vary widely around the world.

What a treat! Friends or family who unexpectedly stay for dinner or even spend the night. A table full of delicious bites, accompanied by a good glass of wine and an even better conversation. But after a few glasses, it’s no longer responsible to get behind the wheel, so we always make sure to be prepared for a guest. Or two, or three :)

Not everyone has the luxury of an extra guest room. Fortunately, there are other alternatives so you don’t have to rearrange your entire home. Practical and space-saving solutions, specially designed for these occasions. This is how you prepare your home for guests.
