Among the "best practices" to ensure a restful night's sleep, choosing the right clothing to wear under the covers is also important. One pajama is not the same as another ...
According to a recent study by AIMS (Italian Association of Sleep Medicine), 13.4 million Italians suffer from insomnia, 1 in 4 chronically, and 46% do nothing to address it. This is a serious problem that primarily affects women (60%). To help people fall asleep, the techniques implemented rely on technology—4 in 10 people watch television before going to bed, and 1 in 3 uses a smartphone or tablet—but this doesn't produce the desired results. Quite the opposite! According to some well-established best practices, electronic devices should be banned a few hours before bed, as should excessive physical activity, alcohol consumption, heavy foods, dozing off in front of the television, afternoon naps, and excessive mental and psychological commitments late in the evening. Instead, make room for reading books, relaxing herbal teas, soft fragrances diffused in the bedroom and soft, enveloping pyjamas that caress the skin, giving it pleasant sensations of well-being.
What characteristics should pajamas have to help you get the right amount of sleep?
While it's true that even the right night's sleep outfit makes a difference in ensuring a good night's sleep, when choosing one, nothing should be left to chance. First and foremost, the fabric must not only be high-quality, preferably made of natural fibers, but must also ensure the best fit and offer complete freedom of movement. Avoiding constraints and being too tight , and choosing the perfect size are the key factors to prevent constant awakenings. However, all of these factors are gender-neutral: whether it's a nightgown for her or pajamas for him, the rules are the same. What makes the difference is personal taste. There's the girl who, in summer as well as winter, wants to feel dressed even during bedtime and chooses women's pajamas with a masculine cut but feminine details for her nightwear . There's the girl who doesn't want to give up her childlike spirit and chooses pieces with baby graphics. Finally, there's the classic girl who doesn't like frills and focuses on basics. A few examples? Alpina offers “ Delfina ”, “ Daria ”, “ Bea ” and “ Daisy ”.
The best fabric for men's pajamas
There are fabrics that better than others understand a man's need for comfort between the sheets. Warm pure cotton interlock is one of these , so much so that it is available in a wide variety of men's pajamas consisting of long-sleeved crewneck or Henley shirts, with a V-neck and three buttons, and slim-fit trousers with trims at the bottom or tubular. These proposals bring color to the night thanks to classic solid shades or patterns and designs that alternate simple tie-style graphics with jacquard designs, up to more playful evocations that take their inspiration from sport. Ski prints, for example, dot the " Romeo " model shirt by Alpina, which also offers a variant with après-ski designs for the trousers. If interlock is the must-have for pajamas, jacquard cotton is instead the perfect interpreter for the homewear pieces of the " Remo " collection .
