BEHIND THE SCENES WITH VIKY RADER

Natural Comfort Pyjamas

"My evening rituals include a thorough facial cleansing, a nourishing face mask, soft and comfortable nightwear, and a movie with my kids before they go to bed. Later, I listen to soothing music and read a few pages from a good book to relax and get in the right mindset. Even when I'm exhausted, I try to stick to this routine."

SLEEP CULTURE BY HANRO

HANRO has been celebrating the culture of sleep since 1927 - long before it became fashionable to get a perfect night of sleep. Our legendary archive in Liestal (Basel, Switzerland) features one-of-a-kind nightwear that caused a sensation back then and is still cult to this day.

SLEEP IN ART

What does sleep actually mean in terms of our existence as humans? Artists, writers, and philosophers have approached the complex sensory phenomenon in countless different ways, cultivating sleep into a cultural treasure.

The Sleeping Gypsy, Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, 1897: At the time of its unveiling, this painting was misunderstood and rejected by the public. Its integrated symbols are disturbing and play directly on our subconscious. Today, "The Sleeping Gypsy" belongs to the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.

"I have an idea... I want to simply paint my room, but this time the color must do everything, and by simplifying it provide it with more style, with an overall effect of sleep and rest. In other words, the painting should calm the nerves and the imagination."

"This early rising makes one quite stupid. Man must have his sleep..."

NIGHTWEAR FOR EVERY TYPE

The future of fashion knows no gender. Traditional, binary fashion is becoming outdated. Fashion is colourful and diverse, just like our society. Unisex is a movement with its finger on the pulse - away from stereotypes and towards fluid boundaries.

HANRO picks up on this trend in the current fall/winter 2022 collection. Various styles, as well as robes, are refreshingly gender neutral. The casual design breaks down the boundaries between women's and men's fashion and puts the focus on the qualities that really count: sustainability, quality, wearing comfort and timeless design.

Flannel is one of the oldest and most effective materials for cold temperatures. Pretreated, flannel does not lie directly on the skin. The material therefore always stays at a comfortable temperature. Cotton nightwear with a brushed interior also provides for outstanding sleeping comfort.

SLEEPING TIPS

Scientists in the USA discovered that people who got under the covers with socks on their feet fell asleep around 15 minutes faster than those who were barefoot. Socks create heat by improving the flow of blood in your feet. This causes your body temperature to drop, which in turn provides your brain with the impulse to induce sleep.

First of all, regularity and good timing areessential to proper sleep. And since our bodies - like any living thing - follow cycles and rhythms, you're better off giving in to this instinct and establishing a consistent time for going to bed and getting up in the morning.

Sleeping on your back ("supine" position) is excellent for your orthopedic health. Sleeping on your side helps your brain to detox. Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended as this position can be hard on your lower back.

An absolute no-no is a "digitalized bedroom," especially in today's world where we tend to use our laptops and smartphones until our eyes close. The radiation and blue light from digital devices have been shown to interfere with the process of falling (and staying) asleep.

According to experts, your bedroom should therefore be as minimalist as possible: a comfortable bed with a breathable mattress, a small table, a lamp, absolute darkness, a temperature of 16 to 18 °C, and the perfect nightwear are the ingredients for the kind of sleep we all crave but rarely get.

A short meditation accompanied by deep and steady breathing through the nose can quiet the senses and help you let go.

To allow your digestive organs to detoxify overnight, try to refrain from consuming fatty foods, caffeine, or alcohol for up to three hours before going to sleep. Instead, nibble on a few nuts.

Exercise improves sleep: Outdoor activities are ideal, for the more sunlight the body absorbs, the faster the natural sleep aid melatonin is released in the evening.

The right nightwear is vital to your overall sleeping comfort. High-quality, natural materials are pleasant on the skin and breathable to prevent sweating and freezing.
