Sleep Better
It refreshes us like nothing else.
Sleep can be occasionally elusive, almost always comforting, and definitely essential to our survival. And although we spend 33% of our lives asleep, we barely give it a moment’s notice….until we can’t sleep. Then we think about it to the point of obsession.
For millions of people, the consequences of a poor night’s sleep – higher stress, increased mistakes, difficulty concentrating – are everyday occurrences. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Learn more about getting a good night’s sleep. Check out each of our Healthy Sleep tips below & regular updates on the facebook page.
HAVE YOU CHECKED?
Do you wake up with stiffness, numbness, or aches and pains? Do you feel tired when you wake up in the morning? Do you find that you sleep better in a hotel bed than your own? These can all be signs that your mattress doesn’t provide the support and comfort that you need and should be replaced.
Look for visible signs of wear and tear on your mattress. If your mattress looks tired, sagging, lumpy, dented or worn, it is time to retire it.
If your mattress is 7 years or older, a new mattress will likely improve your sleep. Also, think of any lifestyle or body changes that may have occurred since you purchased your mattress. If you have gotten married, developed back problems, increased or decreased your activity, then your old mattress may no longer be the best fit for the person you are today.
If your partner is tossing and turning all night, it probably means your mattress isn’t providing the support they need. And if they are tossing and turning all night, you probably aren’t getting much sleep either. That means the mattress no longer reduces motion transfer as it should.
