Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? You may be surprised to learn this is actually ‘a thing’ and can have far more of an impact on your personality than you may think. Research carried out by the Premier Inn (among other sources) suggest that your mood, attitude to work and even income is said to be affected by which side of the bed you choose to sleep on. If Nothing Goes Right, Go Left Those who sleep on the left are said to be more cheerful than their right side counterparts. A positive outlook allows lefties to be more capable at dealing with a heavy workload and therefore they are not easily phased by a stressful day. Over a quarter of UK residents believe there is a right and a wrong side to sleep. Furthermore, over 75% of people believe they would not be able to sleep comfortably on the opposite side of the bed. Those who sleep on the left believe they are calmer than their partner in a crisis and are more confident in general – this has a direct correlation with their ability to sustain permanent employment better than their right side counterparts.
It is reported that left side sleepers are believed to have a greater level of job satisfaction than right siders. It’s not all bad news for right side sleepers though, it’s cited that most people who sleep on the right generally earn more money. Is It Really That Simple? No, not at all. There are many external reasons that affect your personality and your bed side choice. If you have claustrophobic tendencies, you’ll be less likely to sleep next to a wall. Some partners claim the reasons for their choice relate more to practicality than personality. Being closer to a radiator, further away from outside noise, having a better view of a television, being closer to children or further from a window are all reasons why people choose their side of the bed. It is also said that 10% of couples actually argue about their side of the bed and this can often lead to one party being unhappy about the outcome. After all, you could both be lefties, at least this would explain why the person waking up on the right is grumpier.
It’s the Bed That Counts So it would appear that your side of the bed makes a difference to how you feel in the morning. Though the biggest difference of all is the quality of sleep you receive. No one wakes up happy after a broken and interrupted sleep. With a Simba mattress, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the working day.

Media buying and planning has been handled by Manning Gottlieb OMD.
The ad features Henry in his hotel bed in various outdoor locations to highlight “the diversity of Premier Inn’s site locations and reasons to stay”.Russell Braterman, Premier Inn brand marketing director, said: “It’s the first time Lenny Henry has stepped outside of the hotel environment and the focus of the creative is on Lenny and his enjoyment of sleeping well. The advert sees Lenny in his Premier Inn bed, on a whistle stop tour of the UK.”The ad is Henry’s fifth for the brand since becoming its ambassador in 2008.This article is about: Find out moreFind out moreSome links to products and partners on this website will earn an affiliate commission.There’s definitely some snobbery in the travel world when it comes to Premier Inn. I don’t think that’s particularly helped by the name, which – let’s be honest – just slightly screams “budget hotel” at you. But give it a try. I have lost count of the number of people I have recommended Premier Inn to, only for them to thank me profusely afterwards and question whether they will ever stay anywhere else.
And you don’t need to just take my word for it – Premier Inn consistently performs extremely well on the likes of Tripadvisor. The Premier Inn London St Pancras, for example, is ranked number 39 of all the hotels in London, sitting above the Conrad St James, the Langham and the Dorchester. While I’m not necessarily expecting you to book it for your Silver Wedding Anniversary (you can leave that to me), that’s a pretty impressive achievement. But what is it that is just so great about Premier Inn? I hear you ask. Well let me condense my love for this chain into five neat points: Ok, so you’re not going to get elegantly-styled boutique class with Premier Inn. What you will get however, is comfortable, functional, clean rooms which are generally a delight to stay in. My overriding thought during my stays with Premier Inn has been how clearly the experience is designed for comfort and ease of sleep. From tasteful interior designs to well-functioning bathrooms and full black-out curtains, Premier Inn may not aim to indulge you in extravagance, but it will try very hard to give you an entirely pleasant room for the night.
To ensure this, all Premier Inn rooms include, as standard: You also don’t spend 20 minutes looking for all the light switches, as is my standard experience in the average high-end hotel. In short, Premier Inn is a budget hotel that provides anything but a cheap experience. It’s a genuinely good quality room, in every aspect. Even booking well in advance, you can easily pay upwards of £150 a night for a “big name” hotel in places like central London, only to be massively underwhelmed. Using central London again as a marker, provided that you book reasonably in advance, you should easily be able to find a central London Premier Inn (with all the room comforts noted above) for well under £100. Taking a random week in early June (6-12 June inclusive), the following were the cheapest central London prices available (weekday/weekend): I am also not limiting my comments here to the room alone. The food, which I have always found to be of a good standard, is very well-priced.
You can add a full buffet breakfast to your stay for £8.99, while a continental breakfast will cost you £6.99. Plus, per the graphic above, a buffet breakfast, 2 course meal and drink is yours for £23.99. That’s also not including the bargain options for kids, which are discussed below. I’ve already talked above about the standard rates at Premier Inn being pretty good value. However, Premier Inn also regularly discounts its hotels: These sales are obviously time-limited and subject to availability, but the general approach is for them to slash London prices to around £60, and prices elsewhere to as little as £35. When that includes up to four people (see further point 4 below), it can offer comically good value. 4 The fantastic value families get If you’re travelling as a family, the good value provided by Premier Inn as standard is likely to move to outstanding. First of all, the standard room rate at a Premier Inn includes up to 2 adults and 2 children (15 and under).
Crucially, that’s not just on the basis that you cram yourself in like sardines: most family rooms include a double or king-size bed, plus a single sofa bed and a pull-out bed. Cots are then also provided at no extra cost. So that room rate you’ve paid is potentially for four people to sleep comfortably on individual beds. Here’s London Old Street, on a weekday in May, pricing at a remarkable £79 for 4 people (all of whom will have their own bed): But that is not all. Up to two under-16s will also get their breakfast free when one adult orders the buffet breakfast (or Meal Deal outlined above). 5 The good night’s sleep guarantee In their own words, Premier Inn are so confident you’ll have a great night’s sleep that, if you don’t, they will give you your money back. Full terms of the Good Night Guarantee are available here, with the key points as follows: I remain unclear as to how exactly Premier Inn handle insomniacs and this guarantee, but I suppose the final bullet point above helps…
