Managing your college kid’s sleep deprivation
Moving into a college dorm can feel a lot like taking up residence in the city that never sleeps. While most kids figure how to balance their rock-star nightlife with getting good grades, some need some extra nudging to tuck into bed at a decent hour.
According to a study released by Texas A&M University, only 7% of students sleep long enough to wake up feeling refreshed. What’s more, 25% of students surveyed admitted dropping a course or receiving a lower grade due to sleep difficulties.
We know better mornings (and higher grades) begin with a healthy night’s sleep. Since you can’t be there to enforce a curfew, let us help ensure the sleep they do get is healthy and nourishing. At Natura, it all starts with natural, green and organic bedding.
Tranquil Mattress
College life is anything but tranquil, but that doesn’t mean your child’s bed shouldn’t be. The Tranquil Mattress is wrapped in a healthy Aloe Vera ticking that encased a NaturaWool™ lining. Pure virgin wool wicks away moisture so bedding stays fresh and allergen free – great for asthma suffers and kids who forget to change the sheets regularly.
Washable Wool Comforter
There’s no better place for midnight pizza deliveries and late night study sessions then the bed, right? Thankfully the Washable Wool Comforter can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer as often as needed.
Your child will love the cozy feel of the 100% cotton cover and the humidity-free wool encased within. Temperature-regulating, dust-mite resistant and washable – you might want to pick one up for yourself!
Dream Mate Pillow
When you can’t be there to tuck your child into bed, a healthy comfy pillow can be. The Dream Mate Pillow is filled with granulated latex for a springy down-like feel (without all the allergens and dust-mites) and provides ergonomic support to reduce and even eliminate neck and shoulder pain. Covered in wool and cotton (notice a theme here?) it keeps the breathing environment free from harmful bacteria that thrive in moist environments.
NaturaClean Spray
When Mom’s not around and life gets messy (and it always does), the NaturaClean Spray can fill in. Spray it directly on spills and watch as stains disappear – quickly and naturally.
What’s more, the subtle green tea fragrance delicately scents the air – which may in fact improve the overall quality of life in the dorm room. Makes for a great for a quick clean-up before a visit from Mom and Dad.
NaturaProtect Odor Remover
The Silver Technology used in our NaturaProtect Odor Remover is as old as your grandparents – and just as tough on the shenanigans college students have been known to engage in. A simple spritz inhibits the growth of bacterial and fungal contaminants – just about every germ your child could come in contact with.
It’s EPA and ECOCERT certified and is tested on celebrities, not animals.
