Sunday morning in bed
Short answer: For many people Sunday morning is the calmest moment of the week. No alarm, coffee in bed and time to read or talk. Soft sleepwear, a bed that is pleasant to stay in and a loose plan for the rest of the day make it even better.
A morning without an alarm
Without an alarm, the body wakes up on its own once it has had enough sleep. That is a good chance to notice how much sleep you actually need. If you sleep much longer at the weekend than on weekdays, it may be a sign that you are not getting enough sleep during the week. Try to keep roughly the same bedtime every night, so your rhythm does not shift too much between Friday and Monday.
Sleepwear you want to stay in
On a Sunday morning many people stay in their sleepwear a little longer. So it should be comfortable to sit up in, not just to lie in. Night shorts and a soft top are good on mild mornings, while long pyjamas are better when it is cool. See bamboo Night Shorts for Women and pajamas for women, so you have both options ready.
Coffee and breakfast in bed
Breakfast in bed is lovely, but crumbs and coffee stains are less so. Use a tray with a raised edge, and lay an extra towel or a blanket over the duvet. Coffee and tea leave stains that are easiest to remove while they are fresh. Rinse the stain with cold water from the back of the fabric, and wash the bedding as soon as you can.
Reading and quiet
Sunday morning is a good time to read, listen to the radio or simply lie and think. Consider putting your phone away for the first hour, so the morning does not fill up with news and messages. Sit up comfortably with an extra pillow behind your back, and keep a light jumper within reach in case it turns cool. Time without plans does many people good.
When the bedding gets changed
For many people Sunday is also the day the bedding is changed. Going to bed in fresh sheets on Sunday evening is a good start to the week. Wash the used bedding straight away so it is dry and ready for next time. You will find more ideas for textiles under home and homewear in bamboo.
From bed to the rest of the day
Even though it is nice to stay in bed, it helps to get out into daylight before midday. Daylight helps the body fall asleep on time in the evening. A walk, a visit or a little gardening is a good balance to a slow morning. That makes it easier to sleep on Sunday night and start the week feeling rested.
