The whole
month of November is dedicated to National Sleep Comfort Month. As the weather
changes, it is also a time to check your mattress for wear and tear, dust mites,
and other allergens. Typically, a mattress can last for 8 to 10 years depending
on the type of mattress that you might have. Flipping the bed mattress prevents wear and tear from one side of the mattress. If you suffer from allergies,
make sure you get a hypoallergenic mattress cover encasement.
Limit your amount of caffeine and alcohol before going to sleep.
Alcohol disrupts your rapid eye movement which is the last phase of the sleep
cycle. During REM, your brain is more active which helps the brain to learn and
for your long-term memory. While you sleep, your memory processes information
and stores information for long-term memory. In addition, when REM
occurs, there might be one or several dreams while you sleep.
In
general, changing your pillow will give you the necessary support for your spine.
Changing your pillow to a thinner or a flat pillow might help you sleep better
if you sleep on your stomach. If you sleep on your side, it is recommended to
use a thick pillow to align your neck and your spine. However, if you sleep on
your back, it is recommended to use an indentation fiber pillow that supports
your head, neck, and shoulders. If you still have problems sleeping at night,
consult with your primary doctor for more suggestions to get a good quality sleep.
