Lucy Torres and the beauty of sleep

MANILA, Philippines -Whether we admit it or not, this modern life is slowly taking its toll on our health. Our work hours have now gone over the typical nine to five. In fact, there are so many things we want and need to accomplish in a day that it’s starting to seem that 24 hours are not enough anymore. Our days have become more hectic that we have come to forego the benefits of sleep.

One person who never asks this question is Lucy Torres-Gomez. Despite her very demanding schedule as a wife, mother, and congresswoman, this stunner always looks well-rested and very well put-together.

What’s her secret to staying stress-free? Lucy says that everything is all about striking a balance.

“Even as we are passionate about what we do, we also value very much the time we spend off our very hectic schedules,” Lucy explains. “It is very important to relax and recharge so that we will always have much of ourselves to give. Getting good quality sleep is very important to us. My gauge of a really good sleep is when I wake up with my skin glowing and my cheeks all pink!”

She adds that aside from her pre-slumber rituals of creams and potions, she likes using quality bed items from Tempur to make for a wonderful beauty sleep. Tempur mattresses and pillows allow the spine and joints to rest in their natural positions, causing the least possible stress on muscles and nerves.

“We really do not scrimp on good quality sheets and pillows. One of the best things we ever bought is our Tempur mattress. It is a must-have. My neck used to hurt and there would always be stiffness in my shoulders. It all ended when I found Tempur.”

It seems that sleep is not taken lightly in the Torres-Gomez household. Lucy shares, “Sleep heals. It is our bed and pillow that receive us at the end of every day, whether we’ve had it good or bad, whether events were happy or sad. It is our refuge. It has to be our happy place, something we look forward to, an everyday retreat of sorts.”
