Beter Bed and sleep guru Matthew Walker team up to help Dutch and
Belgians sleep better
Bedroom specialist Beter Bed is proud to
announce that neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker will
be speaking on its event to raise awareness of the importance of
good and sufficient sleep. Along with healthy eating and sufficient
exercise, a good night’s sleep is one of the most important
conditions for staying healthy as you get older. Research by Beter
Bed shows that although a large part of Dutch people recognise the
importance of a good night’s sleep, they hardly ever act on
this.
As part of its mission ‘Sleep better, live
better’, Beter Bed has been focusing on improving people’s sleep
for years now. The bedroom specialist teams up with various experts
to provide in-depth information on sleep related topics. At the
invitation of Beter Bed in cooperation with box spring brand Velda,
Matthew Walker is coming to the Netherlands to share his knowledge
and inspiration with interested Dutch and Belgian parties. At a
major event organised by Beter Bed in September this year, Walker
will answer questions such as: why is sleep so important? How does
sleep impact your brain health and risk of Alzheimer’s disease? How
does a lack of sleep impact your heart health, and also your immune
health, including risk of cancer? Walker will give practical tips
to help you put better sleep into practice right away. In addition
to Walker’s presentation, during which he will share his inspiring
insights, attendees will be able to follow sessions offering tips
on how to improve their sleep, including breathing techniques or a
mindful walk, for example.
