Tips for a better night's sleep

The Sleep Doctor, Dr. Breus is back in Rhode Island doing some more work with the team over at Cardi’s Furniture.

Dr. Breus, as well as NiRoPe, Nick, Ron and Pete Cardi, joined The Rhode Show to talk about their partnership.

The Rhode Show: Nick, you’ve been working with Dr. Breus for some time now, how’s it going?

Nick: "It’s been great, we’ve had so many customers coming in and the training and support that Dr. Breus has provided to our staff has proven to be so successful in helping our customers to pick out the right bed for them."

The Rhode Show: And Ron, the team at Cardi’s had set up an interview with Audrey McClelland of momgenerations.com , a local mom-blogger.

Ron: "That’s right, it’s a great, in-depth interview with the sleep doctor about a wide range of issues including great information for parents with regards to how their children are sleeping at night."

The Rhode Show: Speaking of children, let’s talk about that. Most schools are starting this week, so Dr. Breus, how can we ensure our child has the right sleep environment?

Dr. Breus: "There are two basic concepts. One is consistency; the other is having the right equipment. So, consistency being, we want children going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time,” said Breus. “We want it to be consistently dark and consistently quiet. As far as equipment is concerned, I believe that a pillow and a mattress are like pieces of performance equipment.”

The Rhode Show: How important is it to find the right mattress for your child?

Dr. Breus: "A mattress and a pillow are not hand-me-down situations," said Breus. “Either pillow top or foam based mattresses at least on the top portion, because what that allows for is, that allows their body to grow.”

The Rhode Show: Pete, its great that Cardi’s has this amazing resource available.

Pete: At the end of the day, it’s all about getting a good nights rest. When customers come in, and work with us, they can rest-assured that our staff has their best interest in mind so they can get a comfortable and rejuvenating nights sleep.
