Silk Sheets and Silk Bedding: The Different Stages of Sleep
Discover silk sheets and silk bedding in natural silk that improve sleep quality , thanks to their thermoregulating, hypoallergenic, and breathable properties. A perfect ally for supporting mental and physical well-being during the various stages of sleep (REM and NREM).
Why choose silk sheets and silk bedding for better sleep and health
Sleep is the most normal and repetitive physiological moment that can occur throughout life. We spend almost a third of our lives sleeping or resting.
In a world where sleep and its quality are often overlooked or undervalued, rediscovering its value and choosing the right silk sheets and silk bedding sets is an act of care, well-being, and health towards one's body.
What are the links between bedding and sleep and what are the benefits of using silk bed sheets and silk bedding for the quality of our lives?
The benefits of natural silk on the quality of sleep
Sleep is a highly complex physiological process that governs a series of specific vital phases, marked by very precise and cyclical times that are essential for a person's physical and psychophysical well-being. When we talk about sleep quality, we refer to that set of variables that, if known and assessed, can definitively influence the depth and continuity of sleep.
Memory, brain activity, glymphatic system, immune system, metabolism, cellular regeneration, micro-repairs, cardiovascular health are highly influenced by the quality of sleep in a situation of continuous balance
Hypoallergenic and breathable thermoregulating silk
Silk sheets and natural silk linen are the best skin-friendly bed linen for the different phases of sleep, due to their breathability, warmth and thermoregulation and silk is certainly one of the most effective fibres and products for the correct rhythm and continuity of sleep and skin and thermal well-being.
How Silk Sheets and Silk Bedding Support Sleep Stages
When we talk about sleep, we refer to a moment of variable duration (6-8 hours), often identifying it as a continuous period. Studies in sleep chronobiology have highlighted how sleep is divided into two major sectors or moments: REM and NREM.
The 4 stages of sleep: REM and NREM sleep
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and NREM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement) represent the two main categories of sleep that develop in cycles, lasting approximately 90-120 minutes and repeating throughout the night.
The NREM phase includes three sub-phases:
- N1 - Falling Asleep
- N2 - Light sleep
- N3 - Deep sleep
The REM phase is characterized by dreamlike activity and emotional reprocessing.
Silk sheets and silk bedding, silk duvets and silk mattress topper for an ideal nighttime microclimate
Each of the sleep phases corresponds to an environmental and thermal need that the ideal silk double sheets and silk bed linen are able to specifically satisfy:
- Silk double sheets for better sleep
- Duvet covers for a deep sleep
- Silk duvets with differentiated heat
- Breathable silk duvets
- Hypoallergenic topper cover mattress
The circadian cycle, the biological clock, and the effect of silk on the sleep-wake rhythm
Numerous metabolic effects are associated with the circadian cycle, such as body temperature, blood and venous pressure, and the release of hormones.
A circadian rhythm disorder, caused by physiological or external factors, can affect proper sleep. Incomplete, continuous, and deep sleep can create alterations to the circadian cycle and overall health.
How Silk Sheets and Silk Bedding Help Natural Regulation
Breathable natural silk bed linen is able to offer all its excellent properties in terms of thermoregulation and breathability, stabilizing the night-time microclimate, avoiding awakenings caused by sudden changes in temperature, and creating a perfect symbiosis with circadian rhythms.
Natural silk bed sheets allow the creation of a perfect microclimate to accompany sleep:
- The silk fitted sheets with or without corners isolate the body from the surface layers of the mattress and if present they are implemented with the silk mattress topper to increase internal ventilation, eliminate pressure points and release healthy amino acids.
- The silk top sheets completely envelop the body, adapting perfectly to its morphology. The structure of the UltraSoft silk satin fabric, among the highest standards, allows for a limited perception of the presence of the silk double sheets and accelerates the absorption of the water vapor produced, quickly wicking it away.
Silk sheets and silk bedding for a deep and continuous sleep
Excessively fragmented, uninterrupted sleep, lacking a moment of complete relaxation and with frequent, albeit involuntary, awakenings, alters the subtle balance between the various NREM and REM phases and is capable of creating pathological changes in the circadian cycle.
To achieve this important goal, it is essential the optimization of environmental conditions and the availability of products, essentially silk sheets and silk bedding , capable of minimizing conscious or unconscious awakening phenomena as much as possible, ensuring a deep and continuous sleep
Using silk mattress toppers for better sleep , cool silk-filled pillow and hypoallergenic sheets :
- Reduce pressure and contact points
- They reduce skin friction
- They minimize micro-awakenings which are so harmful to the continuity and depth of sleep
