HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP OUTDOORS
Halfords has launched a new revolutionary sleeping bag, designed for the best night sleep outdoors.
The Gelert Sleeping Pod available in Raspberry Sorbet and Bluejay has cleverly been designed with comfort in mind offering unrestricted body movement. So, what ever position you sleep in, whether it’s the Foetus, Freefaller, Log, Starfish, Yearner or Soldier position*, the unique shape of the sleeping pod is ideal for all types of sleepers.
Unlike normal sleeping bags that can cause sleepers to feel trapped and restricted, the sleeping pod on special offer at £29.99** is 200 x 100cm. This enables the sleeper to curl up and turn inside the bag and sleep in any position they find comfortable giving the camper the much deserved space for a good rest.
Professor Kevin Morgan, from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University said: “ We all tend to adopt our favourite sleeping positions, whether it’s on our back, abdomen, sleeping on the right or left side.
Furthermore, people differ in how much they move around in their sleep, so having the freedom of space to do this can result in a better night’s sleep. As for the number of hours of sleep you require, we all learn how much sleep we each need to awake refreshed, there really is no one size fits all.”
Diane Perry, Halfords Leisure expert said: “March is National Bed month and it is just as important for your mind, body and soul, to receive a good night’s sleep whether you are in your bed or a sleeping bag.
“Sleeping alfresco style is a great way to feel closer to ‘Mother Nature,’ clearing your mind. To have the freedom to move around in a sleeping bag without feeling restricted, makes it easier to achieve a goodnight sleep,” Diane Perry commented.
