Restorative vs. Restless Sleep
|
 |
Restorative sleep is a
very important part of any healthy
lifestyle. Similar to exercise and eating
right, sleeping well is essential to how you
feel, your productivity, relationships,
safety and overall quality of life.
Authentic, deep sleep is one of life’s
greatest pleasures. It is absolutely
critical for our overall well-being. Sleep
is the indispensable condition to the
recuperation of energy. Sleep repairs the
wear and tear of the body and mind incurred
during waking hours. We go to bed fatigued
with the goal of waking up refreshed and
rejuvenated.
Restless or poor sleep is a fact of life for
many and very often is caused by factors
that can be controlled. For example,
restless sleep can be the result of your
environment. A poorly ventilated bedroom
with extreme temperatures will keep you
awake. Another possibility is the type of
mattress you have – it’s either too hard or
is inferior quality and therefore will not
support your body enough to properly fall
into a deep sleep.
We often forget that the mattress is the
most “used” piece of furniture in the home.
The average person spends one third of his
or her life in bed. This equals 220,000
hours over the course of a lifetime. Most of
us wait too long to replace our mattress.

| The base of what we sleep on, as
well as how (our body’s position) makes a big difference
in the quality of our rest. Human bodies are not
designed to sleep on a completely flat surface. In order
to get authentic, restorative sleep, our back needs to
be slightly elevated for enhanced breathing and our feet
should also be slightly elevated for proper circulation.
Most importantly, having our upper and lower body
slightly elevated alleviates the pressure we often feel
in our lower back when laying flat. |

| If you are having trouble sleeping
or wake up more tired than when you went to bed – then
consider looking into what you are sleeping on as
well as how (body position) you are sleeping. |
