Dr Ranj's Secrets for a Good Night's Sleep

Your journey to a better night’s sleep starts here

We’re living through uncertain times, and studies show that this is having a real impact on our sleep. Many people say they’re sleeping less, waking up more, feeling less rested in the morning and even having more vivid dreams.

While we can’t control everything that’s happening around us, we can take charge of our own wellbeing. Along with diet and exercise, improving our quality of sleep can make all the difference to how we feel. Here’s how you can change the way you sleep – for good.

We’re proud to partner with NHS doctor and sleep ambassador Dr Ranj, and launch our joint mission to help you find your perfect night's sleep. Along with smart sleep tips and ways to help you sleep, you’ll find practical information on what you should be looking for in a bed and mattress. If you’re ready to find your perfect mattress, use our online mattress finder or make an appointment at your local Furniture Village store.

Easy steps to better sleep

Every doctor knows that the quality of our sleep has a direct impact on our physical health and mental wellbeing. Here are five of our top sleep tips to make sure you get those all-important eight hours a night.

Avoid overheating

Change your duvet with the seasons so you’re never too hot or too cold.

Keep your room dark

A dark bedroom can help you get to sleep quicker – and stay asleep.

The blue light from devices suppresses the sleep hormone melatonin.

Eat mindfully

Make sure your last meal of the day includes sleep-friendly nutrients.
