Pille Lengi: Sleep supports skin and quality of life

Tilk! founder Pille Lengi made a conscious decision to improve her quality of life. Her first step was nutrition, the second was sleep. The SleepAngel pillow became an important piece of the puzzle for her on this journey.

Pille started focusing on sleep for two reasons – her body was tired, but she also knew that the sleep process produces collagen, which maintains skin moisture and elasticity and helps skin cells regenerate. She analyzed her sleeping habits and realized that she needed to focus on sleep.

 He revamped his sleep habits with clear goals and activities:

• A cool, dark bedroom — The optimal temperature range for rest is around 15–22 degrees Celsius. Additionally, she made sure her bedroom was dark, as light delays the release of melatonin, produces cortisol, and keeps your body temperature higher, contributing to wakefulness (1).
• Getting enough exercise during the day – Regular exercise can help alleviate sleep-related problems and get enough rest. Recent research also shows that insufficient or poor-quality sleep can lead to lower physical activity the next day (2).
• Overnight Fasting - Pills keep 12-13 hours between dinner and breakfast to help you feel light. Going to bed on an empty stomach aligns your digestive system's internal clock with your brain's clock, so all your systems are ready to go into sleep mode by bedtime. This type of fast, which you can achieve simply by eating an early dinner and avoiding snacks before bed, can definitely improve your sleep (3)
• Quality sleeping gear - Pille switched to a SleepAngel pillow after hearing that her traditional pillow was a perfect place for skin cells, sweat and dust mites. Her old pillow also didn't provide enough support. The SleepAngel pillow with clinically proven and tested patent-protected PneumaPure filter technology was an easy decision to make, as Pille loves innovation and everything made in Estonia. Her choice is a classic microfiber pillow from our HOME collection . Having heard how pillows can be an overlooked link in the chain of cross-infection, she unfortunately had to spend a week in the hospital with her child. On the positive side, however, the hospital used SleepAngel Medical pillows .

Thank you, Pille Lengi and Tilk !, for sharing your experience.
