Good Sleep = Better Health

“Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.” Thomas Dekker

Sleep loss hurts your health. When we lose sleep, we alter the balance and strength of our neuro and immune systems. Leptin (hormone signaling satiety) levels drop and ghrelin (hormone signaling hunger) levels increase. Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes are strongly associated with chronic sleep deficit.  The further you investigate the relationship of sleep and health, the clearer its importance becomes. We live longer, resist illness better, and have higher mental & physical performance with quality sleep. Health care experts say the optimal amount of sleep is 7 to 9 hours, yet the national average is 6.1 hours.  Are you one of the millions of people who sleep less than 7 hours per night?

Sleep is how we refresh our mind, body, and soul. It has no substitute; it is essential. Feeling better by improving sleep is simple. Practice good sleep hygiene, keep stress in balance, and choose a mattress with foundation that is chemically safe and ergonomically superior. The best way to invest in a better mattress is with a sleep specialist rather than a box store salesperson or worse yet online. Trust is better established in person. Your needs and values must come first. Your health is worth the time and investment. Your body heals while you sleep.  Match the materials of your mattress to the values of your lifestyle.
