​​​You can be at peace only when your sleep cycle is working well. Sleep Cycle is explained as the circadian rhythm or biological clock of the body that, out of habit reports to the brain to respond to our external stimuli.
If you’re looking for the ideal blend of mindfulness in sleep, follow any one of the techniques below.
​Good Luck! 

·         If you don’t dream, you may have deep sleep disorder
​When did you dream last? Are you an active dreamer? If not, what did you dream last in your life?
The dream is scientifical, described as the stage of sleep where our mind makes a film out of random thoughts and pops it on for our subconscious mind. If you are missing on dream since long, you are missing the fourth stage of sleep, also called the REM or Rapid Eye Movements Sleep or deep sleep. This is the same stage where restorative bodily processes also happen.
When you don’t dream, you’re missing out on the stage of deep sleep, which leads to sleep debt and sleep cycle issues in the coming days. 

·         Choose the Right Mattress 
​Yet another frequently neglected factor behind the correct way of practicing healthy sleep is choosing the right mattress that supports you than the other way around. The right mattress should not be too soft such that you sink into it, or one that is too firm such that it pushes you out. The perfect mattress is one that conforms to your bodily curves and sleeping positions without pressure.
Here’s a quick mattress guide to everything you need to know about buying and using the same for a mindful sleep. 

·         How Sleep Naked Helps to Wind the day Best​
If you’ve been feeling disturbed when you hit the bed, perhaps your body and mind are disturbed. The best solution to go happily into sound slumber is sleeping naked, in loose clothes or in baggy innerwear. Sleeping nude helps to cool your body (boosts melatonin), stop aging, remove body toxins, healthy reproductive hygiene and attain deep sleep as it lets our skin cells breathe freely! 

·         Right Posture to Sleep in  
​There are right postures and wrong postures to sleep, because we spend one third of the day asleep or one third of our lifetime sleeping. If you’re going to torture and cramp your body for one-third of your life, you will surely have too many health issues towards the dusk of your life; or perhaps, die early!
The best way to sleep is on your sides with a pillow in between your legs. The pillow prevents your pelvic muscles from falling off in the case of lack of support. Sleeping on your stomach or back leads to joint pains, sleep debt and frustration in the morning! 

·         How to Pick the right Bed for you   
​Many beds today can automatically sense your sleeping issue and set specific angles of elevation for your feet and neck to feel supported, nowadays. Sleeping on the right bed ensures that you do not wake up in the middle of the night due to cramps or obstruction to the upper airflow. The right bed can help you dissolve many somnipathies including sleep apnea, insomnia, oversleeping and restless leg syndrome. 

Conclusion

​Sleep is a vital part of our body and mind. During sleep, our sleep hormones actively coax the body and mind to repair the damages or pain borne during the day.
