Top 4 Ways to Sleep Better, Live Better and Give Back

New Year Means a New Way to Rest.

The New Year is a time for fresh starts—a chance to set goals, refocus, and prioritize what matters most. For many of us, that includes making resolutions to improve our health, well-being, and communities. But let’s face it; sticking to resolutions isn’t always easy. That’s why starting early—while your motivation is high—can make all the difference and see you thriving in 2025.

At Best Rest, we believe that better rest is the key to achieving your goals. Sleep is the foundation for a healthier, happier you, and this year, we’re inviting you to rest better, live better, and make a difference through our Habitat for Humanity partnership.

Start Early, While Motivation is High

The excitement of a new year creates the perfect energy to start strong, but consistency is key to lasting change. The sooner you focus on your rest, the sooner you’ll feel its benefits. Start building habits now that will carry you through the months ahead.

• Build a Routine Incorporate rest into your daily practices. Use tools like Amazon Alexa or Google Reminders to prompt you to start winding down. A consistent routine makes rest easier to achieve and maintain.
• Begin a Journaling Practice Taking even just a few moments just before you close your eyes to notate your feelings and your experiences can reduce stress dramatically and help to put closure on the day to help you sleep more soundly. 
• Reflect and Adjust Pay attention not just to how you sleep, but to how you feel and show up for yourself and others the next day. Did your rest leave you energized, patient, and creative? If not, adjust your habits to better nurture your body.

Rest Is More Than Sleep

True rest goes beyond sleep. It’s about creating moments of peace, recovery, and renewal throughout your day. Consider other rest-inducing activities that can support your journey to wellness:

• Take short mental breaks during the day to reset your focus.
• Share a meal with co-workers and let yourselves not only connect on a more meaningful, personal level, but stepping away from the responsibilities to interact without a deadline can be instrumental in easing work-related tensions.
• Use calming tools, like weighted wraps or aromatherapy sprays, to help your body and mind relax.
• Spend time in mindfulness or reflection, journaling your thoughts or simply sitting in silence.

Think of your body like a garden—you nurture it with quality sleep and restorative moments, allowing it to grow and thrive. The better you care for your “soil,” the better the harvest of your best self will be.

Invest in Yourself and Your Community

When you invest in better rest, you’re also investing in your ability to be the best version of yourself. At Best Rest, we’re here to help with products that support sleep, reduce stress, and create calm:

• Premium mattresses that provide the foundation for restorative sleep.
• Massage & ergonomic chairs to ease tension and promote relaxation.
• Weighted wraps for soothing, full-body calm.

But we believe rest should extend beyond your home. That’s why, through our Habitat for Humanity partnership to help build homes for families in need. With every 3 mattresses sold, we donate a free mattress to Habitat, ensuring children have a safe, comfortable place to sleep.

Tips for Sleep-Focused Resolutions

Starting and maintaining a resolution to rest better can feel overwhelming, but these steps make it easier:

1. Start Small and Build Begin with one habit, like setting a consistent bedtime or using calming tools like a weighted wrap or Nodpod sleep mask.
2. Make It Easy Build rest into your existing routines. Use reminders to dim the lights, meditate, or start winding down for bed.
3. Hold Yourself Accountable Reflect on not just how you slept but how it impacted your day. How did you feel, and how did you show up for yourself and others? Adjust your routine to create the best outcomes.
4. Celebrate Wins Reward yourself for consistency with small treats that support your rest journey, like aromatherapy sprays or affirmation cards.
