If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that nothing feels quite as good as a full night's sleep. When you sleep well, it sets the tone for the rest of your day. You wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. It's almost like the world knows when you sleep well: your morning coffee hits just right, the sun shines just a little brighter, and you've got a little extra pep in your step.
Your friends and colleagues may notice, too, especially if good sleep is becoming a foreign concept for you. If it is, you're not alone - according to the CDC, people around the U.S. are in need of some serious zzzz's - more than 1 in 3 Americans aren't getting enough sleep. Perhaps even more shocking is that 40% of people fall asleep during the day once a month, according to the National Institutes of Health. Experts agree that most folks should get at least seven hours of sleep a night, but in reality, most Americans struggle to get five or six.
While some ultra-rich CEOs claim they only need a few hours of sleep a night, that's not true for most people. In fact, your body and brain will hate you if you're not getting enough shuteye. If you're feeling sluggish, unmotivated, snappy, achy, sick, or just down in the dumps, you may not be getting enough sleep. And it may not be your fault - that old, dilapidated innerspring mattress that you're sleeping on may be the true culprit.
Fortunately, Sleep King is here to help you get on the fast track to falling asleep with the ultimate comfort of MLILY mattresses in Baton Rouge, LA.

Take a moment and think about all the different things that have happened in your life over the last decade. Maybe you graduated college or got the job of your dreams. Perhaps you got married or moved to a new home in a new state. But if you're like the average person, one thing remained the same: your mattress. It might be surprising to hear, but the average lifespan of a mattress is between seven and ten years.
Letting go of your old, worn-out mattress might be hard, especially if it's served you well over time. As with most products, however, nothing lasts forever. But how do you know when it's time to ditch your old bed and choose a new MLILY mattress in , LA? Here are just a few of the most common reasons that customers tell us when it comes to buying a new bed.
Is your mattress starting to smell less like roses and more like the dirty socks in your hamper? When your mattress gets smelly, it's most often a result of mold, fungi, and mildew buildup over time. There's not too much you can do to avoid this from happening, especially if you live in a humid climate. So, the next time you change your sheets, give your mattress a sniff. If it smells funky, it's time to upgrade.
If your mattress has a noticeable sag, it's a surefire sign that you need to get a new mattress. Mattresses sag because, over time, coils begin to weaken, and memory foam loses elasticity. If you lay down on your bed for a moment, get up, and your bed sags instead of returning to its original appearance, your mattress is nearing the end of its life.
Waking up in pain is basically the an thesis of what a mattress is supposed to do. Due to wear and tear over time, even the best mattresses lose their ability to support your body. If you've been waking up with dull aches and pains in your hips, lower back, or shoulders, it's a red flag. Finding a comfortable, supportive mattress like an MLILY Fusion Lux is of utmost importance.
Constantly moving side-to-side or switching positions in the middle of the night is a great way to get your partner angry. It's also a big sign that you need to consider buying a new mattress. Like the supportiveness of our mattresses, general comfortability also lessens with usage and time. Here's the truth: You shouldn't need to toss and turn to get comfortable in your bed. If you are, your mattress has probably declined in quality and needs replacing. You shouldn't ever have to put your sleep health on the line for an uncomfortable mattress.
It might sound obvious, but the #1 reason why people choose to buy a new mattress is to get better sleep. Sleep, in and of itself, is a bit of a mystery - somehow, our bodies just know when it's time to clock out for the day and go to sleep. But if you've been sleeping on a poor quality or dilapidated mattress for long enough, you might have become used to the feeling of lackluster sleep. If that sounds like you, we're here to tell you that you're missing out.
Getting a great night's rest is one of life's little pleasures, but according to experts, it's also much more than that. If you swear by limiting your sleep to be more "productive," you may be doing yourself a disservice.
When you don't get enough sleep on a regular basis, it can lead to serious heart issues like high blood pressure and even heart attacks. Why? Because poor sleep causes your body to release cortisol. This stress hormone causes your heart to work harder. That's great in some situations, but long stretches of poor sleep are quite bad for your heart. Like other parts of your body, your heart needs to rest in order to function correctly.
Getting a cold is never fun. But if it feels like someone slapped your head with an anvil when you get the sniffles, you may need better sleep. When you get great sleep, the proteins and immune cells in your body have a better chance of fighting off things like the common cold and flu. Your immune system also helps mitigate symptoms like runny noses, congestion, headaches, and more. Without the right sleep, symptoms from colds and cases of flu will be much worse.
Do you roll out of bed and feel like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh? You're probably not getting great sleep. When you sleep well, you wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to attack the day. Your energy levels are high, making life's little annoyances more manageable. And when you're not annoyed, you're typically not angry. When you're not angry, you're only a half-step away from being happy. So, put on our PJs and get to bed early on an MLILY mattress in , LA. Your friends and family will thank you!
Earlier, we mentioned how some people purposely lose sleep so that they can be more productive. On the surface, that makes some sense since you have more hours in the day to dedicate to work. However, burning the midnight oil again and again is a bad idea. Eventually, you'll start making mistakes that an afternoon pot of coffee won't fix. Instead of cutting your sleep short, try getting more. Studies show that great sleep is linked to higher cognitive function and improved concentration. If you're not purposely limiting your sleep, it's time to ditch that old mattress and swing by Sleep King.
Getting eight or more hours of sleep doesn't mean you're going to lose lbs. overnight. But getting better sleep can seriously help with your diet or weight loss goals. When you get poor sleep, your body creates a hormone called ghrelin that causes you to get hungry. It also lowers the amounts of leptin in your body, which is a hormone that lets you know you're full. With great sleep, these hormones remain balanced, so you don't wake up finding for a sugary bowl of Captain Crunch.
If you're sick of mediocre sleep and want to take on tomorrow with a fresh mind, better sleep begins with MLILY mattresses in Baton Rouge LA. When you trust our mattress store in Baton Rouge for MLILY mattresses, you're already taking the first steps towards better sleeping habits.
From cold-to-the-touch mattresses like the Fusion Luxe to popular hybrid bed options like the Fusion Supreme Hybrid Mattress, Sleep King has got you covered. With a vast selection of bed frames, adjustable bases, bedroom decor, and even whole-home furnishings, you won't have to look anywhere else besides our showroom in Baton Rouge. One look at our prices, and you'll understand why we're South Carolina's go-to choice for premium mattresses like MLILY. Call or visit our location today to get started on your journey to healthier sleep.

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board called an emergency meeting to address a critical shortage of bus drivers and a series of other transportation issues.
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board called an emergency meeting to address a critical shortage of bus drivers and a series of other transportation issues.
Leaders at Monday’s meeting said the district is short roughly 150 drivers, and over 80 buses are out of commission.
Over 60 parents and employees expressed their frustration to the school board and claimed the shortages are starting to impact student safety.
School Board President Dadrius Lanus said the issues are nothing new, but it wasn’t until a week ago that he learned of the severity of the problem.
“We didn’t understand how detrimentally bad it was until we started receiving phone calls from the parents of some of our schools and they put together some parent conferences at those schools. So, we went and heard a lot of the stories and that’s when it was brought to my attention that we need to set up an emergency meeting to hear all those concerns this week,” said School Board President Dadrius Lanus.
Superintendent Dr. Sito Narcisse issued an apology and accepted full accountability of the ongoing issues.
“This is my failure. Not the chiefs, not the other folks, because when something doesn’t go right in the school system, it is my responsibility,” said Narcisse.
The school board discussed different options to help attract and retain drivers, which included a possible pay raise for drivers and mechanics.
Drivers in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System make around $19,000 a year, which is significantly lower than what other drivers make in neighboring parishes.
According to Lanus, some systems are giving drivers up to $35,000 starting off. He said the current salary in EBR is one the lowest in the state.
The school board is also considering consolidating bus routes.
“People should not have to make the decision on whether or not they should do what they love, which is transporting these children to school, or put food on their table and keep secure roofs over their families heads, but that’s the predicament that you have put them in,” a concerned teacher said.
Bus drivers also begged the school board to put air conditioning in every bus, which they said is a desperate need.
Gov. Edwards declared a state of emergency amid the extreme heat on Monday, Aug. 14.
Employees told the superintendent and the school board that a decision can’t wait, and something needs to happen soon.
“We will earn your trust. We will earn the trust of our employees as well,” said Narcisse.
No decision was made at Monday’s meeting, but one is expected to come at Thursday’s regularly scheduled meeting.
Dr. Narcisse said they will present a full action plan to the board at that meeting.

GONZALES, La. (BRPROUD) — If you like cats, you may want to stop by and check out the 50th Annual Cat Show produced by the The Greater Baton Rouge Cat Club. The event is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center.
According to Larry Johnson, show manager and president of Greater Baton Rouge Cat Club, there will be 200 felines competing at this event and “judging will take place in six different rings throughout the day.” Johnson said they will be competing in four categories:
Attendees can expect to see “Abyssinian, Russian Blue, Sphynx, Maine Coons, Siamese, Oriental Shorthairs, Ragdolls, Chartruex, Persians, Siberians” and Bengals, according to Johnson.
“Awards are determined as to how close the cat meets the written standard that the judges follow, he said. “There are six judgings during the day. All the cats see each judge throughout the day. Each judge awards their best by breed and the best overall. They are judging as per the standards and work independently from each other.
“Even though there are no ‘real’ standards for Household pets. The household pets are judged according to temper, playfulness, cleanliness, and uniqueness,” Johnson said.
Competitors from around the country will use points in the purebred categories toward other titles.
“Cats gaining top awards from the judges have a ribbon (rosette). The best cat has a larger rosette. The cats that are awarded best of breed and any of the top 10 cats receive points as to how many cats they have defeated from each judge. The accumulation of points from this show and other shows can gain the titles for grand champion, regional and national awards,” he said.
Kids who are 2 and younger and anyone 55 and older can get into the show for free. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for anyone who is 16 and younger. A family of four with two kids can also get in for $30.
If you are interested in registering your cat for the show, you have until midnight Monday, Dec. 11. Johnson provided details about the contest, including entry fees.
Rescue groups, including Cat Haven are expected to attend this event.
“Cats and kittens will be available for adoption,” Johnson said.
