SM Home, the Philippines’ leading home lifestyle destination with 77 branches nationwide, proudly presents Best Sleep 101—the first in a series of masterclass events designed to help Filipino households sleep better, live better, and create bedrooms that truly work for them.
Anchored in SM Home’s brand promise, For All Things Home, this inaugural masterclass brings together four distinguished voices in interior design, sleep medicine, home organization, and hospitality. Together, they explore one of the most overlooked pillars of Filipino wellness: rest.
Best Sleep 101 reflects SM Home’s commitment to making expert home knowledge accessible, practical, and deeply personal for every Filipino household.
The Philippines Has a Sleep Problem. SM Home Is Helping Solve It.
The Philippines consistently ranks among the most sleep-deprived nations in the world—a reality shaped not only by lifestyle habits, but also by how homes are designed. For many Filipinos, the bedroom serves multiple functions: workspace, family area, and sanctuary all in one. Yet the sleep environment—its design, comfort, and sensory conditions—rarely receives the focused attention it deserves.
Best Sleep 101 addresses this gap by combining sleep science with practical design and lifestyle solutions. Grounded in real, accessible products available at SM Home, the series transforms expert insights into actionable steps for Filipino families across different living situations.
Meet the Masters
To deliver a holistic approach to better sleep, SM Home brings together four experts whose combined knowledge covers every dimension of the sleep experience:
Christine Dychiao | KonMari-Certified Organizing Consultant
Christine Dychiao, one of the Philippines’ most respected organizing experts, highlights the powerful connection between tidiness and rest. A certified KonMari practitioner, she emphasizes that a cluttered space often leads to a cluttered mind. Through her insights, she demonstrates how mindful organization can become one of the most effective and accessible ways to improve sleep quality.
IDr Raiza Poquiz | Interior Designer
Interior designer Raiza Poquiz brings a design-forward perspective to sleep, emphasizing that a restful bedroom should be both functional and personal. She introduces the concept of the “sleepscape,” where elements such as color, texture, proportion, and soft furnishings work together to create a calming environment. Her approach encourages homeowners to design spaces that reflect their current lifestyle while supporting their personal growth.
Sanj Valenton-Licaros | Certified Butler & Hospitality Expert
Sanj Valenton-Licaros offers a unique perspective shaped by the world of luxury hospitality. Drawing from years of experience in creating high-end guest experiences, she shares how comfort is carefully curated in five-star settings—and how these same principles can be applied at home. From mattress selection to pillow choices, she reinforces the idea that restful sleep is not a luxury, but an intentional investment.
Dr. Agnes Remulla | Sleep Medicine Specialist (ENT)
Providing the clinical foundation of the masterclass, Dr. Agnes Remulla brings medical expertise to the conversation. She addresses sleep as a public health concern in the Philippines and offers practical, science-based guidance on improving sleep hygiene. From proper mattress support to pillow selection and spinal alignment, she underscores that better sleep begins with informed choices in your sleep environment.
