Millennials have become famously branded as the “burnout generation,” unable to find time to clear out their thoughts and stop working for the day. Because of this, they are more likely to develop stress-induced illnesses and mental health issues. In a study under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of the United Kingdom, scientists found that people who are stressed more often are more likely to get sick.

Imagine that you’ve just arrived home from a long day at work. You crash on the couch and indulge in an episode from your latest Netflix show before making yourself a quick dinner. From there, you freshen up and get ready to hit the sack by curling up with a comfy blanket.

But then your thoughts start to wander. You find that the more you force yourself to sleep, the more active your mind becomes. Frustrated, you end up staring blankly at the ceiling and end up resorting to browsing through your phone in search of tips to help you sleep.

How often do you fall asleep with the lights (or a light source of some source) still on? You might have fallen asleep watching TV, forgotten to turn off the lights because you were too tired, or dozed off while working on your laptop. No matter the reason, you are not alone, as it is estimated that nearly half of all adults sleep with some kind of light on.

Electric blankets have become an indispensable partner for a good night’s sleep, regardless of the weather conditions outside. It’s extremely cozy to cocoon yourself in a warm blanket. There are many electric blanket models available on the market at a wide range of prices. How can you choose the one that is most suitable for you?

Wellcare compiled and analyzed nearly 800 comments positive and negative user comments posted to a popular German website about two single size electric blankets from the same brand but at different price levels. The first was a standard electric underblanket that entered the market in 2017, and the second was a deluxe model that hit the market nearly a decade ago. Both were 150x80 cm in size.

The comments revealed the features that consumers care about, and the inferred behavioral trends can help people to find the most suitable electric blanket among all the available options.

After a long day at work, you speed walk out of the office, eager to head home and put up your feet after a long and productive day. You go through the motions—endure your daily commute or drive, arrive at your house, kick off your shoes, start putting dinner together, and maybe even sneak in a bit of TV. When 10pm rolls in, you head off to bed, ready to turn in for the night.

An electric underblanket is one of the best ways to warm your skin. Most people think electric underblankets are only useful in winter, but this is actually a myth. Electric underblankets can be used all four seasons.

The key to a healthy life is sufficient sleep.

Do you often wake up in the middle of the night because you’re too hot or too cold?

If your answer was “yes,” that’s not a good thing.

Some people sweat throughout the night, but feel cold when the morning approaches. Others toss and turn restlessly. Everyone wishes that these occurrences would just go away so that they can get a good night’s sleep.

Can the life values of the different generations be seen through their preference of home design products?

A 2015 Cassandra Report  from digital agency Deep Focus found that 60% of Generation Z prefer cool products over cool experiences. On the other hand, 77% of Generation Y—also known as the millennial generation—seek a better product experience.

Would you like to eat peanut butter sandwiches at lunch all year long in exchange for a good night's sleep? According to a fun survey by《New York Post》, Americans are willing to give up things beyond your imagination just to sleep well every day.

When we move around or exercise, our body produces heat in order to keep up with our activities. Think of it like when you start a car. When you turn the keys in the ignition, the engine rumbles to life which then allows a driver to move the vehicle around. With the gears in motion, the machine starts to heat up.

Of course, if a car’s engine were to short-circuit as a result of poor maintenance, it would then overheat. Here, too much warmth can also cause it to break down.
