It is a well-known fact that you spend about a third of each day in bed. However, if that time is used for restless tossing and turning, one thing is clear: Your overall health will suffer.
Studies by the National Institutes of Health show that people who sleep well enjoy multiple health benefits.
They manage stress better and have more energy. They also minimize the risk of colds and more serious diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Your mattress plays a big role.
Chiropractors encourage people to buy a mattress that conforms to the natural curve of the spine while distributing pressure evenly along the body. Adjustable beds can be a good choice for those who share a bed or if you need to sleep with your head elevated due to breathing problems.
A good mattress also regulates body temperature. Why is this important? When you sleep on a mattress that is in poor condition, your body temperature will rise, which creates sweat. Your heart rate and blood pressure will rise accordingly, and thus your breathing will become irregular, which often interferes with sleep.
Since every person is different, there is no one type of mattress that will suit every person. It is important to consult with a mattress expert when deciding which mattress to purchase. They can assess your sleeping position in order to best recommend a mattress that is tailored just for you.
