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 Birmingham, AL.

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 , AL? 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 , AL. 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 Birmingham AL. When you trust our mattress store in Birmingham 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.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin on Thursday night gave an update on the city’s plan to build tiny homes to house the homeless.
“We know that homelessness has been a pressing issue in this city,” Woodfin said in his “Blueprint” speech on Thursday at the Birmingham Museum of Art, which recapped the first two years of his second term in office since his re-election and inauguration in 2021.
Woodfin named three finalists who had submitted proposals to help run a tiny home community for the homeless in the city. Faith Chapel Care Center, AIDS Alabama and Urban Alchemy are the three finalists who submitted proposals to run the program, Woodfin said.
“This program will help us reduce homelessness,” he said.
The plan involves small, lockable shelters where the homeless can sleep safely, using units provided by Pallet Shelter, “the leader in rapid response shelter villages.”
The city plans to use up to $1 million in federal Community Development Block Grants to fund the program, along with support from non-profit organizations and corporate support.
In January, the city asked for proposals from organizations willing to take on administration of a program using the shelters. The pilot program would purchase 50 shelters, along with accompanying shower/bathroom units that could be assembled to form a small shelter community. A two-stall bathroom-shower unit is installed for each group of 10 shelters.
“These shelters will be assembled on a dedicated site for safe sleep, shelter and support, because that’s what they deserve, everybody,” Woodfin said.
The city has not proposed any locations for the shelters and will not select the sites. That is part of the requested proposals from community organizations, which would have to meet city specifications.
The proposed pilot program, called “Home for All,” will be a community partnership that will include Pallet sleeping units and other services. The proposals also include a plan for services including healthcare, job training, substance abuse counseling and case management.
Pallet Shelter has built shelter communities for the homeless in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Dallas, Texas; Fresno, California; and Tacoma, Washington, and other cities. The organization has constructed 1,764 sleeping units among 63 shelter communities with more than 4,000 people served. Pallet Shelter would provide private, lockable sleeping units that feature a heating and cooling system and desk. The micro-shelters would be congregated in safe, private communities, according to the proposal. Each can be assembled in under an hour and at a fraction of the cost of traditional homeless shelters, according to Pallet Shelter.
Each basic unit costs about $12,000 and Pallet Shelter does the on-site assembly.
“Birmingham, Alabama has so much momentum,” Woodfin said in his speech. “We also know there is a lot more work to do.”

The New Orleans Pelicans have assigned fourth-year guard Kira Lewis Jr. to the Birmingham Squadron, the team’s NBA G League affiliate. It's been a slow fall out of favor for the 2020 NBA Draft's 13th overall pick. The Alabama alum was getting consistent minutes to start the season. Now the 22-year-old is leaving the team during a road trip to knock off rust in the G League.
Lewis will be available for the Squadron’s game tomorrow night against the Osceola Magic. That's the last look the front office will get of the team before the G League's Winter Showcase break. Lewis will likely share the backcourt with Dereon Seabron, who is on a two-way contract with the Pelicans.
Lewis has checked into 13 games for the Pelicans this season, averaging 3.1 points, 1.4 assists, and 0.8 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game. He has appeared in 116 games since being drafted by New Orleans with career averages of 5.5 points, 1.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game. However, he now has as many DNP-CDs (did not play, coach's decision) as GPs (games played) with 12 each.
Blowouts are usually a prime spot to get young prospects developmental minutes, yet Lewis played the final 6:23 in an embarrassing NBA In-Season Tournament loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The story was the same when New Orleans held a 33-point lead over the Dallas Mavericks early in the fourth quarter back in mid-November. The Pelicans were up 123-93 with just over half of the fourth quarter left. The speedy guard finished with two points in 2:03 of action.
The diminished role suggests Lewis expiring contract will be moved before the trade deadline. There just are not enough minutes to go around now that CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy III are healthy. Jose Alvarado and Naji Marshall bring more energy, play tougher defense and sport better shooting numbers. Rookie Jordan Hawkins has a higher upside after a historic start to his career and is under team control for several more years.
Lewis has played more than 12 minutes just three times this season. He has played in only three games since November 17th for a combined total of 16 minutes. He may get to check in a few more times wearing a Pelicans uniform, but there is a good chance he has played his last meaningful minutes in New Orleans.

Avondale Common House is moving at the end of December, but folks who love the food there won’t have to travel far. The restaurant, 4100 Third Ave. South, is merging with Ferus on 41st, just a few blocks away.
Avondale Common House posted the news on Saturday via social media, saying:
“Hey friends! We will be relocating after the new year. Thankfully we will be merging with our friends at Ferus on 41st right down the street. We’ve had many wonderful years in this location and hope to see you all soon. We will be closing these doors December 31st and opening new doors January 3rd at 430 41st St. South. Thank you for your support. See you soon for Common House eats and Ferus Brews!”
It’s unclear what prompted the move by Avondale Common House, which opened in 2017 in the heart of Avondale’s entertainment zone, in the former home of a restaurant called the Wooden Goat. Before that, the building was the location of Prestige Auto Imports.
Currently, Avondale Common House is open Wednesdays through Sundays, serving appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts. Signature cocktails are on the agenda, as well, along with a Sunday brunch that features live music. Avondale Common House was founded by Ellen and William Rogers, both of whom have experience on Birmingham’s restaurant scene, at eateries such as Ocean, 26, Iron City and Sky Castle.
Ferus on 41st, a tap room and restaurant, opened in 2021 at 430 41st St. South, in the former location of Fancy’s on Fifth, an oyster bar and burger joint. Ferus on 41st has its own menu, served Tuesdays through Sundays and focusing mainly on appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Cocktails and Sunday brunch are part of the blueprint there, along with events such as concerts and open mic nights.
Ferus Artisan Ales, the parent company owned by Colby Lake, also has locations in Trussville and Fairhope.
