We keep hearing about how our devices can affect our sleep. At Rest Space, we've dug into the research to paint a picture of why they are affecting our sleep and what we can do to manage it. Imagine if we didn’t have artificial light in our modern society; how would we stay out later when it gets dark? How could we get those extra hours of work in or have that feeling of safety and comfort? As with most good things, there is a catch; artificial light has an impact on our sleep. If you find that when you’re lying in bed scrolling on your devices and struggling to sleep, the issue may be closer than you think. The light emitted from our laptops and tablets can disrupt our sleep and the quantity of sleep by up to a few hours. This can lead to your sleeping patterns changing or feeling a little more groggy in the morning from reduced hours of sleep. In recent years, with the rise of personal devices, there have also been discussions around whether it can affect your body clock and in turn your sleeping patterns. Blue light isn’t all bad for you; it is very beneficial for us during the day. It gives us that energised feeling in the morning when we wake up and it has been seen to boost our attention, reaction times, and mood. We will look at what the research says and suggestions to minimise the impact of blue light on our sleep. The Science behind blue light To start off, the light that we can see and process with our eyes is called Visible Light (380nm to 700nm). A part of this visible light is blue light (450nm to 485nm, which has been seen to have the most powerful effect on your sleep-wake internal body clock or in another word, your circadian rhythm. The light from your devices often appears white. But they can give off wavelengths in the range of 400nm to 490nm, which is blue light. When you look at lights of these wavelengths, it suppresses your melatonin (the hormone which can help you fall asleep). Although certain wavelengths of light can do this, Brainard et al. (2001) found that melatonin suppression was best seen in the blue light spectrum between 446nm to 477nm. It is helpful to note that Cajochen et al. (2006) found that green light at 550nm did not suppress melatonin. So how long do you have to be exposed to blue light to affect your sleep then? Thapan et al. (2001) found that after 30 minutes of light exposure, melatonin production was fully suppressed. Though it was not found to cause a long-term impact on your melatonin, they did find that it took approximately an hour for the melatonin to return to its normal level. In addition, as we get older, we produce less melatonin and light is less effective at suppressing melatonin. But research has seen that light-induced phase advance of melatonin circadian rhythm is not impaired with age. The circadian rhythm was found to respond to both morning and evening light exposure (blue-enriched or blue-depleted) without significant differences between morning-types and evening-types of persons. What does this mean for you? The light from your devices often appears white. But they can give off wavelengths in the range of 400nm to 490nm, which is blue light. In combination with things on our devices that could be perceived as more important than sleep or FOMO, this could delay our sleep by up to a few hours. The simplest way of managing this is by putting your devices away one hour before you plan to sleep. Nagai et al. (2019) has seen that suppression of blue light at night effectively maintains circadian rhythms and metabolism. Some other ways that you could try out are: Cutting back on devices a few hours before bed Use a dim red light bulb as a nightlight Exposing yourself to more bright natural lights in the day Research is pretty definitive that a dark room is the best room to sleep in and the effects of blue light on sleep. Combine this with a cool room and roughly the same sleep and wake time to get the best quality rest! Get in touch with RestSpaceLDN, if you would like to learn more about this topic.

Earlier this year [Rest Space] bumped into Remy cofounder Abeer at the Sleep & Mindful Living Show. As we are always learning how to create the best rest environment we were keen to catch up with Remy and find out more about weighted blankets. Remy sells weighted blankets to help you sleep better and look stylish, they are breathable with a luxurious feeling. Remy blankets help you fall asleep faster, for longer and more deeply. We were intrigued to find out more about this How do they work? Using a Remy blanket means you sleep with a blanket that weighs the perfect amount for you. Sleeping underweight can provide a beneficial calming and relaxing effect, helping to reduce anxiety and give you a calmer and better night’s sleep. How does that work? Because research shows that sleeping underweight can help reduce movement that disturbs sleep so you can get more of it. Not only are these blankets great for adults, research also proves that these weighted blankets positively benefit people with autism and children in order to improve focus. Weighted blankets use Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), which evenly distributes a gentle weight and pressure on the body to mimic the sensation of being swaddled. When you’re feeling anxious, your autonomic nervous system (which regulates your bodily functions like heart rate, respiratory rate, and digestion) either sends your body into ‘fight or flight’ (stress) or rest mode. The application of pressure therapy tells it to go into “rest” mode, reducing some of the symptoms of anxiety like quickened heart rate and breathing. This pressure therapy has the same effect as when you are being cuddled and hugged, you feel relaxed. Well, that is why these blankets make you feel relaxed. The evenly applied weight stimulates the production of serotonin (happiness hormone), reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and increases melatonin (sleep hormone). Better sleep makes sweeter dreams! Let the reviews speak! All Remy products are based on research conducted by sleep scientists, but it doesn’t stop there for them. They want to know how much Remy has helped people sleep so they conducted a survey of over 300 customers who have slept with Remy for over 30 nights. In this study: - 83% said Remy helped them have a better sleep. - 90% said they feel less stressed and more relaxed when under their Remy weighted blanket. - 75% said they fell asleep faster using Remy. To Remy, these results speak loud for their company. Based on Trustpilot, they were rated 4.5/5 and one of their customers Emily Hayden, stated “my mornings have been brighter after sleeping under my Remy weighted blanket”. Clearly, Remy blankets are revolutionary products they put practicality and design into the weighted blanket and we love what Remy does in order to help improve people's sleep. Sweet dreams!

As we slowly ease back into some sort of normality a lot of us have picked up new skills and habits over the last 3 or so months. If you have forged or rediscovered old hobbies or habits while staying at home; consider making those into part of your normal routines. A couple of things I have been told from my network is that a lot of them have tried out napping, many have started gardening and baking and almost everyone has tried out something new during this period and have come to a conscious decision to maintain it. But with the positive comes some negatives too; lockdown was a period that also affected a lot of people’s mental health. The fear of the virus, isolation and worries for friends and family was on a lot of people’s minds but now as we move forward we can heal, reflect and adapt. We have listed some things that you may want to consider coming out of lockdown: Napping You may not want to admit it but some of you have definitely picked this up working from home. Whether it's a conscious nap after lunch or sneaking in a shut eye at some point during the day between work video calls; you realised that you had a burst of energy shortly and thereafter. As humans we have a dip in temperature after lunch; biologically programmed for us to have a short rest. Listen to your body and bring this productivity burst when you return to the workplace. Sleeping A survey conducted by King’s College London in partnership with Ipsos MORI has shown that 50% of UK residents aged 16-75 has shown disturbed sleep during the lockdown period, with 2 in 5 people reported that they had less sleep each night on average and 3 in 10 saying they have slept more but feel less rested. The return to normality will result in some changes in our habit but something to keep a close eye on is your sleep. Try to keep a consistent sleep schedule and focus on having a routine, whether it is putting your electronic devices away or having a non-caffienated drink before heading to your bed. Sleep is important for your physical and mental health; sleep helps us recover and heal our bodies as well as process the memories and information we formed when we are conscious. Habits and hobbies If you have picked up an activity during the last few months such as baking sourdough or planting the leftovers of your meals, this would be the perfect time to include them in your schedule as it reverts back to normal. Think about what was meaningful to you when you didn’t have to travel into your workplace and notice the little things that made you now a better version of yourself. Lockdown may have been the perfect excuse to do the things you have been putting off. Make lockdown the best thing that ever happened to you by keeping the greatest things about it; those naps, habits and practices that served you well throughout and will keep serving you during your future.

With a lot of us in self-isolation, it is important for us to look after ourselves, our mental well-being and stay positive during this time. Feeling sad now and again is a part of life but when you don’t get your 7-9 hours of sleep it can influence your outlook on life, motivation and mood. If you’re feeling down, you may not realise that one factor could be your lack of sleep; even a small level of sleep deprivation can work away at your happiness. Sleep is important because it is a restorative state, the deficiency of it might make you less enthusiastic and more irritable or even have some symptoms of depression. These can affect your mental state but also the people close to you as well. The link between sleep and mood has been seen time and time again by researchers. Studies have shown that sleep can lower anxiety, stress and create a positive outlook; people were less impulsive and had a greater tolerance for frustration compared to people with insufficient sleep. One study has shown that 75% of depressed patients have insomnia and the patients who had recovered from depression but still had sleeping problems are prone to relapse. If you start to notice a change in your sleep patterns, take a moment and invest in your self-care and try to reach out for help. But remember just because it may be associated doesn't imply causation. None of us are immune from depression and some of us are more likely than others to develop depression, these populations also exhibit higher rates of insomnia. Some of the ways which can help during this time indoors includes keeping a regular sleep routine; exposing yourself to bring light when you wake up can suppress your melatonin (a hormone that encourages sleep) and increase your cortisol (a hormone that helps you wake up in the morning). Physical activities can also lead to better quality sleep; it reduces stress and tires you out. Additionally, it raises your body temperature and as you cool off it can trigger sleepiness, just be sure to not exercise too close to your bedtime. If you’re finding getting to sleep is difficult, be sure to speak to friends and family or consult a medical professional.

I have recently had quite a few people reaching out to me about unusual dreams during this period. In my journey into understanding sleep, I have been fascinated about the role dreams play and would like to bring together some of my thoughts to help us better understand our dreams and improve our sleep. A number of reasons can make you dream more. Here are some that could be the result of the current situation with covid19. I will look at why we dream, how the current situation may affect our dreams and what we can do to improve our dream experiences. What are dreams? Before we dive into what could be causing unusual dreams it is important to look at why we dream. When we sleep our body may appear lifeless but our brains are as active as they are during the day. Dreams can occur at any sleep stage but most dreams occur in our rapid eye movement (REM) sleep about 20min into our 90 min sleep cycles. REM sleep is said to help with our emotional regulation and memory. During REM sleep the thalamus in our brain is active. The thalamus is responsible for receiving sensory information. It sends the cortex images, sounds, and other sensations that fill our dreams. Not only does our brain file away our experiences, memories, and learning during REM sleep it is also said to associate it to related memories and content in our brains. Why might we dream more during this time? Remembering more dreams On average you have around 3 to 6 dreams a night, most people do not remember their dreams or that they have dreamt. On average people remember 4 to 6 dreams a month. The functions tied to recalling dreams disappear very quickly when we wake up. People tend to remember dreams more when there is increased emotion attached to a dream, it is a strange dream they wake up during or just after the dream. In the next few points, I will cover why there may be more emotion attached to some of the dreams you are experiencing and why the content may be different. You may not be dreaming more, you may simply be remembering more of your dreams. This can be due to the content and the fact we are no longer rushed into our commutes giving us more time to recall dreams when we wake up in the morning Dealing with uncertainty and new routines During the day we are bombarded with content eliciting fear and stress which persists into our dreams. The headlines and reporting of the current situation are not helping with our mental health. This on top of the uncertainty we all face is bound to increase anxiety and activate the body's fight or flight responses. How this relates to our dreams is covered in the threat simulation theory one of the more popular theories as to why humans evolved to dream. It outlines that dreams help us rehearse threats and appropriate responses to them, helping us adapt and prepare. The threat simulation theory may explain why dreams are more negative than positive and often contain themes that are not reflective of our modern-day to day lives such as being attacked. What is almost certain is that the content of our dreams help us regulate our experiences, emotions and integrate them into other semantic networks. We may be having more emotional dreams as the content of our days are more loaded with emotions caused by the current situation. Our new routines can also play a role in the changes of content in our dreams in a different way. In REM sleep the brain does not just file away new memories it also associates it to related content. As our schedules and stimuli during the day have changed there is a chance that different associations are being referenced than what we are generally used to. As a bi-product the content of our dreams is different. We may recall these dreams easier as the content is unusual. Longer sleep period Most of us are getting more time asleep, reclaiming the time our morning commutes and social commitments stole from us. Evidation health found that after the US declared people should stay at home the fitness trackers of 68000 Americans show they are getting 20% more sleep. Not only is this great for our health it is also giving us more time to dream. You may be remembering more of your dreams simply because you are spending more time dreaming! Another cause can be explained by REM rebound. 1 in 3 of us suffers from poor sleep so those of us that were running our lives on sleep deprivation due to our busy social and work lives may be experiencing REM rebound. REM rebound occurs when you regularly do not get enough sleep. You tend to spend more time in REM sleep on the occasions you manage to finally get enough sleep. REM sleep as mentioned earlier is the stage in our sleep cycle where most dreaming occurs. The amount of sleep you need is biologically determined but may change slightly with age. For most people it's between 7.5hrs and 8.5hrs of sleep and for a small portion of people, it could be as little as 6hrs or as much as 10hrs. How can I improve my dreams? There are a number of ways to approach your dreams and improve your sleep. I will talk about some of the things I have found most accessible and impactful. Embrace your dreams Biologically speaking dreams are not there for us to interpret if they were then arguably we would remember much more of them. Our dreams are very subjective and linked to our personal experiences (Dr. Antonio Zadra ). Based on Dr Zadra's observations I would not encourage you to dwell on the content of your dreams for too long but it is an opportunity for you to reflect on how you feel and explore ways to improve your overall emotional wellbeing. You can also take comfort in knowing that studies have shown dreams and more specifically nightmares may help us process and deal with trauma. A study conducted at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago of recently divorced women, showed that the women who dreamt more about the divorce and their spouse overcame their depression significantly faster than women who didn’t. Dreams help us with emotional problem solving and making sense of our experiences. They can help resolution with trauma, depression, and bereavement. The intense dream you had maybe helping you with situations you are going through - embrace them Regular sleep routine Maintaining a regular sleep routine will help with the quality of your sleep. Quality of sleep is an important factor in our overall sleep health. It can minimise your experience of REM rebound and support your ability to process emotions during the day. Here are some tips for improving your sleep quality: A good routine includes having the same bedtime and wake up time. The regularity of sleep has a great impact on our quality of sleep. Your ability to fall asleep has a significant physiological factor. Keep your bed for sleep and sex, thus allowing you to fall asleep quicker when you jump in bed as your brain associates it with sleep. Avoid your devices before bed, mainly to prevent the anxiety and physiological activation they trigger. Devices easily delay you from falling asleep for 30min or more as your brain tries to switch off from this activation. Instantly adding to your sleep debt, Journaling Writing in a journal before you sleep can help take the emotional edge off some of your day's experiences. Relieving the anxiety and stress from a growing to-do list or article you read earlier in the day can help you wind down. Researchers from Baylor University and Emory University found that writing to-do lists, rather than writing about completed tasks, helped people fall asleep an average of nine minutes faster. Journaling is even more attractive when compared with the pharmaceutical clinical trials of people using sleeping aids. The participants fell asleep only 10 minutes earlier than usual. Positive journaling can also help frame your thoughts before bed. Research has found anxiety before sleep is related to a negative dream effect and peace of mind before sleep is related to a positive dream effect. If you want good dreams -go to bed with a positive frame of mind. The science of dreaming is still in its early days but what has been uncovered shows that dreams help us with our emotional wellbeing and memory. So embrace and explore your dreams no matter how scary they are. If your dreams are considerably affecting you, you may wish to talk to a professional and look at dream mastery techniques and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Sweet Dreams!

There is little to consider when picking what time of day you are napping. The key thing I have learned is to pay attention to why I am napping and not to nap after 5 pm. Depending on the reason for napping I find these are the key times I would possibly nap. 1- The late morning / pre-lunch nap This nap would usually be a result of a poor night's sleep as mentioned above or as a result of a very early morning for me as a night owl. People who are naturally early birds would probably find this is their prefered napping time on a given day. 2- The post-lunch nap This is the nap most of us are best friends with. It's a natural nap time because digesting food takes energy. The energy diverted to our digestive system just naturally makes us lull. I usually found on a normal day this would be a lighter shorter nap. Depending on the meal I have just eaten or the intensity of the mornings work this could be longer. Around two to three in the afternoon your temperature temporarily drops, suggesting that we were designed to have an afternoon nap. 3- The late afternoon nap These naps would follow an intense day of meetings and tight deadlines. This nap is not always obvious that I needed it. My brain would be running at 100mph and the late afternoon nap would usually be a result of mental fatigue influenced by a post-lunch lull. My trigger to nap would usually be the cravings for coffee or sugar at this time to keep me going. These were the best naps for me. I would come back with so much more clarity and pace. The days I failed to recognise I needed this break I would end up working late and look back trying to figure out why I am still working. 4- Early evening meditation Sometimes I would be reaching the end of my workday and it's 6 pm or 7 pm. The urge to nap would kick in with force. These are the hardest because I knew better than to nap. If I don’t nap I would feel as if I can’t carry on with my evening plans. This is nap time you need to be aware of. If I napped now it would affect my ability to fall asleep later and it would also affect the quality of sleep. Looking back I now understand why it affects my night sleep. The sleep hormone adenosine builds up over the course of the day and creates the urge to sleep. It gets depleted when we nap, and napping this close to bedtime would mean there is not enough time to replenish this vital sleep hormone. Have you ever had that feeling where you are exhausted but cannot actually fall asleep and shut off? This can be a feeling you would get if you used up this hormone. So what I discovered in these instances is meditation, yoga or a breathing exercise would be enough to keep me going. It would give an opportunity for my overworked brain to rest. I also learned not to go for caffeine. I will go deeper into caffeine on another post, but in short, caffeine stays in your system for at least 6 hours and affects the quality of your nighttime sleep. Even if you are able to fall asleep after having caffeine it doesn’t mean you had a good sleep. Get in touch with RestSpaceLDN if you would like to learn more the three times of the day you should nap.

Is there a right way to nap when you are working from home? When working from home it is usually difficult to get into a healthy routine. Many of us end up glued to our work and don’t take the breaks we need. It is easier to be inactive as the toilet is closer and the walk to get a coffee is shorter. There is no lunchtime gym class and the boundaries between work and home become blurred. One of the joys I quickly found when working from home was being able to get a nap in during the day. Many people have told us the same, they have nowhere to nap at work but they love to have a nap when they work from home and it does wonders for their productivity. As I’ve started to discover, napping regularly is part of a healthy lifestyle and if done right is great for your productivity, creativity, and health. Now many of us are working from home making this a great chance to perfect and improve our napping habits. If you are going to spend 20 mins to an hour napping, how can you get the most out of your time? Getting an early morning or post-lunch nap was something I looked forward to on my work from home days. In the beginning, these days were few and far between but as many workplaces adapt and made them mandatory I found myself working from home regularly. I started to revisit my napping at home habits and improve them as I had the luxury of doing so more frequently. Here are some of the things I learned to improve my nap quality: The length of my nap Time of day I take my nap The environment I nap in If you would like to know more about how you can improve your nap when working from home get in touch with RestSpaceLDN.

[Rest Space] was born when I realised I wasn't the only person who loved napping during the day. I was working in finance and particularly remember this one week when I was really struggling with lots of early mornings and late nights. Every time I jumped in the lift someone would be talking about needing a nap. That's when it hit me I'm not the only one who naps. I tried searching for the best locations to nap in Canary Wharf and the only thing that came up was the most commonplace for people to nap at work was in the toilets. I began talking openly about napping at work, a topic that has a lot of stigma around it. People started opening up to me about the cheeky naps they have taken, the social pressure that caused them to hide the fact they nap and how they felt after napping. I really resonated with the stories about the desperation and places people have resorted to napping because there is nowhere else to go. With something so frowned upon, I began to search for the benefits of napping or whether there was just something wrong with us. My co-founder Supa and I started to dig deep into the research, and we were dumbfounded by the amount of research showing how good napping is for our health. That's when we decided we need to open a place for people to nap and address the stigma associated with it.

We’ve made it! Into the Kings20 accelerator. Here are my thoughts on being part of the accelerator and how its helping [Rest Space] and how we contribute to this eco-system Why we got onto the Kings20 Accelerator The idea for [Rest Space] had been lingering for some time and I decided to start chipping away at it after work. I quickly realized there were a lot of things I needed to learn. I began looking for events and communities that would develop my entrepreneurial skills and business ideas, that's when I came across the events Kings20 run. After attending a lot of their events including a female entrepreneurs weekend retreat I began to really value the momentum and motivation that comes with being around people also trying to set up their own ventures. I had got to the stage, where I decided to quit my job as there just wasn't enough time to focus on [Rest Space] to get it where I needed. At that time applications for the accelerator opened up, Supa and I took every opportunity to strengthen our application as we knew how competitive the process was. From going through the application process we had learnt so much more about our business and how we would like to proceed. This in its self was a valuable exercise. We were accepted onto the program a week after I handed in my notice for work, it was the best birthday present knowing that I won't be spending the next year working in cafes - Only parts of the year, I do still enjoy switching up my work environment. What has the last 3 months been like The first few months has really taken us out of our comfort zone. After pitching to get into the accelerator - with relief we did not think we would have to pitch until we wanted money - we were wrong. We have had the opportunity to pitch in-front of a range of audiences at a number of events held by the accelerator to build awareness about [Rest Space]. Now the thought of pitching doesn't scare me so much and having these opportunities in a safe environment to refine how we present ourselves has been great. Coming from a big company it's been a nice transition to be in a buzzing office, we have great social events planned throughout the year and support from each other. Our first company Christmas lunch was less lonely when you have 20 other ventures joining you. As with all communities, it's important to contribute back, this environment makes it easy. Fully taking part and making the most of what's on offer is really important, but there are other ways whether it's loading the office dishwasher, helping other ventures practice their pitches or sharing our skills and interests there have loads of ways to help keep this Eco-system going. I feel this is important to mention as often people ask what can you get from an accelerator, but like all Eco-systems what you put in is also important.

Have we lost control of our time, our sleep cycle and the natural rhythm of our lives? Have we forgotten how to pay attention to the world around us, or to daydream? - Jonathan Crary The 24/7 exhibition at Somerset House was a much-needed reflection on the way I live from day to day. Reflection isn’t something just for the new year but undeniably I reflect more at this time, whether it's the gloomy winter days that have me pondering the meaning of life or all possibilities of the year and the dreams to aspire to. The key theme of this exhibition is in the name, exploring the impact of how we live 24/7 and what this means. We are under pressure to produce and consume around the clock sacrificing one of our most basic needs - sleep. Are we filling our lives with meaningless activity in the place of thought? Productivity, automation, and dreaming This exhibition changed the perspective from which I view the relationship between productivity, automation, and dreaming. I entered the exhibition to face a robot programmed to continually improve even though it did not know the purpose of its work - until eventually, it burnt out. This was an interesting parallel to the useless jobs we create and companies optimising for ‘meaningless’ outcomes. One of my top discoveries at this exhibition was the work of John Butlers Xerox’s Paradox - Xerox's Paradox is technology's inverse effect. Xerox's fear of a paperless office led to the of the GUI, which, in turn, led to an explosion in the amount of printed matter. The more we automate the more we must work - John Butler Something that has stuck with me from this is the lack of time we have to daydream and think. These extracts from the artists explain it much better than I could. '[We are on the verge] of loosing a basic human faculty: the power of bringing visions to focus with our eyes shut' - Italo Calvino ‘One of the forms of disempowerment within the 24/7 environments is the incapacitation of daydream or any other mode of absent-minded introspection that would otherwise occur in intervals of slow or vacant time' - Johnathan Crary The significance of daydreaming makes me sad to realise how the distractions around us are taking this superpower away. I have some hope in the growing awareness of meditation that we may realise how valuable this is to us before we forget what it is all together. Sleep A key theme throughout this exhibition is the biggest sacrifice for our 24/7 lives is our sleep. Our body regulates sleep much the same way it regulates eating, drinking and breathing suggesting the importance of sleep to our survival. Over the 200000 years of our existence evolution has not been able to minimize the amount we sleep despite how vulnerable we are during sleep, again eluding to the importance of sleep to us. This exhibition explored the pressures we are under to undermine our basic needs and look into what is taking us away from sleep. Here are some of the points from Jonathan Crary that stuck with me. ‘We need sleep to survive, 24/7 life with its pressure to constantly pay attention is indifferent to this need. Sleep is now a symbol for the shrinking part of our lives when we are not paying attention, browsing or consuming’ 500 hours of video are uploaded onto YouTube every minute ‘Because of the infinity of content accessible 24/7 there will always be something more informative, surprising, funny, diverting, impressive than anything in one's immediate actual circumstances’ With over 50 different installations from numerous artists bringing to light the theme Jonathan Crary explores in his book 24/7 I couldn't possibly do it justice from a short blog post. 'Reclaiming time to dream could allow a new routine of waking up - to ‘recover authenticity' - Johnathan Crary 24/7 Exhibition is running until 23rd Feb 2020 in London I highly recommend you take the time to see it https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/247/ Get in touch with RestSpaceLDN if you would like to know more about the 24/7 exhibition at Somerset house.
