EXCLUSIVE: Giles Deacon shares his little luxuries from Cartier jewellery to the best British bed linen

Published by Daniella Wilson

Following time at the fashion houses Gucci and Bottega Veneta, Giles Deacon founded his own label, Giles, in 2003. Success was instant. After his first collection was shown at London Fashion Week in 2004, he was named best new designer at that year’s British Fashion Awards. Recently, alongside making pieces for clients and working as the creative director of James Purdey & Sons, which makes bespoke guns and clothing for field sports, he has collaborated with interior design companies such as Peter Reed and Sanderson. Giles, 56, who is in a relationship with the actress Gwendoline Christie, divides his time between his home in Islington, north London, and his apartments in Paris and Italy. “I’m far more seduced by longevity than novelty.” A luxury night out is less about spectacle and more about atmosphere: candlelight, impeccable conversation and a table that feels discreet rather than seen; the right music, and the luxury of not checking the time. My favourite luxurious meal is something deceptively simple but executed perfectly – wild turbot or a beautifully roasted …

People Who Refuse To Allow Pets In Their Bed Often Share These 11 Distinct Personality Traits

Published by Jenni Sidey

For many pet owners, sharing the bed with a dog or cat feels cozy and comforting. For others, however, the bed is one space in the house that remains strictly off-limits to animals. While this rule may seem like a small household preference, it often reflects deeper habits related to boundaries, routines, and how people approach personal space. People who keep pets out of their beds are rarely doing so because they don’t love their animals. In most cases, the decision reflects how they prioritize structure, sleep quality, and personal comfort. Over time, the same mindset that leads them to maintain this boundary tends to show up in other areas of life as well. People who refuse to allow pets in their bed often share these 11 distinct personality traits 1.

Playing Call of Duty before bed doesn’t ruin sleep, and it might even boost your memory

Playing Call of Duty before bed doesn’t ruin sleep, and it might even boost your memory

Published by José Betancourt

Playing a fast-paced action video game for an hour before bed might actually lower stress levels and improve certain memory skills the next day. A recent experiment found that these brief gaming sessions did not negatively affect objective sleep quality in adults who do not typically play video games. The findings were published in the journal Sleep Medicine. The video game industry commands hundreds of billions of dollars globally every year. With the vast majority of young people and adults engaging in digital play, questions about the physiological and mental effects of gaming are highly relevant. Past research on how games affect health has yielded mixed results. Some reports link video games to increased aggression, elevated anxiety, and disrupted sleep. Other studies point to clear psychological benefits, suggesting games can relieve stress and assist with emotional regulation. Video games are increasingly utilized in non-recreational settings to build community connections and provide quick mental stimulation. Part of the reason for these conflicting reports is that previous study designs often ignored context. Different types of games demand …

Yoga can be a great way to relax and unwind, especially after a stressful day. It can promote a sense of calm, making it easier to fall into a deep, restful sleep, according to yoga teacher Veronique Ory. “Often worry, anxiety, or mental unrest linger in the body at the end of the day,” she explains. “Moving slowly with awareness allows that energy to soften and move through. “At night, we’re not trying to stimulate the body, we’re inviting it to downshift.” Article continues below You may like With this in mind, Ory has designed a short flow with gentle movement, breath and twisting to release physical tension while giving the nervous system space to settle. “Gentle spinal movement and twisting help release tension from the day,” she explains, “while slow breathing encourages the nervous system to transition into rest.” Before you begin, Ory recommends you take a moment to create a calming atmosphere by dimming the lights or lighting a candle. Dress in something comfortable and cozy, and silence any phone notifications. “These small …

The 31-year-old TV star, who is expecting his first child with fellow Towie regular Sophie Kasaei, has said he is receiving around-the-clock care to monitor for any seizures, but said the swelling on his brain had worsened.

Tempur-ActiveBreeze Smart Bed Review: High-Tech Titan

Tempur-ActiveBreeze Smart Bed Review: High-Tech Titan

Published by skeptic

The base offers foot-warming settings designed to draw blood flow away from the core, helping you fall asleep more quickly. The ActiveBreeze provided more evenly distributed warmth, since the fans are in the center of the bed. I didn’t mind this, especially on chilly nights. You can also use the remote to set low, medium, or high heating speeds, which the bed can achieve in just a few minutes. Based on your programmed wake-up time, you also have the option for the Tempur-ActiveBreeze to warm up 30 minutes beforehand—which was lovely, but made leaving my tangibly warm, cozy bed that much harder. Number Cruncher Temperature control is only one facet of this smart bed; I found the sleep tracking to be just as impactful. With smart beds, I usually wear my Apple Watch to bed, and I cross-compare data points. The Tempur-ActiveBreeze’s sleep-tracking capabilities are encyclopedic, and you can’t opt out of them—within one day of testing the bed, I started receiving email breakdowns of my sleep data, with suggested areas for improvement. You can …

Just as spring emerges from its long, soggy lie-in, we’re going back to bed. The Guardian’s journalism is independent.

It may not seem the most obvious time of year for World Sleep Day (which was 13 March), but light evenings, early sunrises and the last cries of the fox mating season mean some of us need all the sleep help we can get. After a year and a half of testing products for the Filter (I make that 4,000 hours of snoozing on the job), it’s not the most-hyped sleep aids that had the biggest impact on my sleep. In fact, only one of them – an eye mask that cost less than £10 – had as much impact on my slumbers as the best mattresses and duvets. Bedding that balances cushioning, support, warmth and breathability proved transformative for me; good value and a sustainable production process helped me sleep better, too. Here’s a quick reminder of the best of the …
