Do you hit snooze in the morning when your alarm goes off? Or do you think 5 more minutes please....I am so tired. Do you go to bed at a decent and regular time schedule but your still very tired in the morning? Your problem could be the cleanliness of your mattress.
A good night's sleep starts with a mattress that's in good shape — if it's sagging or lumpy, you'll toss and turn all night. Plus, the better you care for the mattress, the longer it will hold up.
The most important thing to do when caring for your mattress
Rotate and flip the mattress every few months so body impressions don't set in. To fluff my new pillow-top mattress, which doesn't need to be flipped, I use the vacuum and upholstery attachment, pressing the nozzle down on a spot and quickly pulling it up to loosen the inside stuffing, then repeating over the surface. After rotating and flipping or fluffing each mattress, I sprinkle it with baking soda to neutralize odors, then vacuum it.
This is also the perfect time to clean mattress covers
If the care label allows it, I use chlorine bleach rather than hot water to kill germs, as temperatures of 140°F or more can shrink the material and cause the cover not to fit. I always dry covers in the dryer at a lower heat for a longer amount of time to prevent shrinking.
