There are days when you feel fatigue and discomfort  in all of your body. Everything around makes you tired and annoyed.

What’s a GOOD night sleep?

The answer to this question is not just about the number of hours You spend in bed. The most important thing your body needs every night is a deep undisturbed sleep. An essential condition for such a sleep is the presence of a sleeping surface that is large enough as well as a confortable support for your body while sleeping.

Factors influencing quality sleep.

Every person has an individual kind of sleep and some specific demands regarding the sleep. The quality of sleep is influenced by several inside and outside factors, as for example noise, temperature etc. A natural reaction of our body to the deviation from the optimal conditions of the sleeping environment is the moves of the body in our sleep. Furthermore, research shows that 70% of the moves while sleeping have, as a result, a decrease of sleep intensity. It was scientifically proven that body moves while sleeping prevent the body from entering a deeper sleep phase. Studies show that people who do not sleep well make 61% more moves in their sleep than those who have a good sleep. Among the essential factors influencing the sleep, there are:

• Uniformity of the pressure of the body on the sleeping surface;
•Support of the body;
• Moves, transmitted from the partner;
• Temperature conditions;
• Comfort of the sleeping surface.

Uniformity of the pressure of the body on the sleeping surface. As a result of gravitation, the parts of our body that get in contact with the surface we sleep on experience pressure. That’s why we turn in our sleep, from time to time, in order to decrease this pressure. The fact is, when there is too much pressure on the skin, its blood supply is impaired. If the weight of our body is equally distributed on the sleeping surface, decreases the total pressure and provides a good sleep. Research was also conducted on the physiological reaction of the human body on the firmness and rigidity of the surface we sleep on. The study showed that the person who slips on a rigid surface makes up 46% more moves while sleeping than the one who sleeps on a spring sleeping surface. This fact shows how important the sleeping surface is regarding the quality of sleep.

    •Support of the body. Millions of people worldwide suffer from back pain. The majority of people feel it like an extra straining of the muscles of the back. Actually, while sleeping, our body should be in same position as if we would stand up on the feet. That’s why support must be provided for the neck and the lower part of the back. If there is no such a support, the tissue which unites the vertebrae stretches and the joints (articulations) which ensure the mobility of the spinal cord contracts. This tissue and the articulations are very sensitive, and due to this, after being forced to stay in this position for a long time, there may appear pain and difficulty in moving in the morning.

 

Temperature conditions

Everyone had the experience of sleeping in extreme hot or cold conditions. Research shows that both have a negative impact on the quality of sleep. That’s why it’s crucially important that the sleeping surface to have a proper thermal conductivity, as to provide the necessary permeability of heat from the body. A surface that satisfies this requirement feels a bit chilly when it’s touched.   

   Comfort of the sleeping surface. As examples of uncomfortable, unsuitable surface can be mentioned the so called “not-breathing” fabrics, hard or unpleasant to touch fabrics. Best surfaces, from this point of view, are the soft fabrics, which, at the same time, provide the necessary firmness and support for the body.

In order to preserve Your health and good body tonus and vitality, pay a great attention to the environment You sleep in and, above all, to the surface You sleep on.

You can sleep on a folding bed or on a sofa only while, for instance, visiting friends or relatives. And only for a short period of time. In Your own  home, where You live permanently, You and the members of Your family may sleep in modern beds, made taking into account all the norms and requirement. Science proves that the best sleeping surface is a high quality spring based mattress.

     Only sleeping on a good spring based mattress can give Your body what is crucially important for its health and vitality – a good night sleep.
