Sleep Deprivation
Do you stumble out of bed every morning as tired as you were the night before? Do you have high school-age children who wander around like zombies? Is a general lack of energy keeping you from enjoying life like you used to? These are all symptoms of sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is a problem that affects millions of people due to the demands of life in the twenty-first century.
Sleep is like making a deposit to a bank account. The more you sleep, the higher your balance is. Waking activity is like making a withdrawal from that bank account. It is important to have enough money in your bank account so that you don’t overdraw. Sleep is the same way. If you don’t get enough sleep, you overdraw your health. There are many consequences to this overdraft on your “sleep account”:
- Slight drowsiness during daily activities
- Work accidents
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Heart disease
- Breathing disorders
- Depression
So you are deprived of sleep. What do you do now? The demands of work and family cannot be lessened, so you have to change the way you sleep. One method is to tone down before bed time. Take a bath, read, do some muscle relaxing exercises, or watch a little T.V. A glass of warm milk or a cup of chamomile tea are two proven standards. Most importantly, make sure that your sleeping area is conducive to healthy sleep. It should be dark, quiet, and cool. You should have clean sheets and a supportive bed.
An often overlooked but very necessary item is a good pillow. A recent development in the pillow industry is the memory foam pillow. Memory foam pillows, like the Better Sleep Pillow, are made from viscoelastic foam that provides optimal spinal support. This spinal support keeps airways open so you can breathe easily. Also, because memory foam pillows promote correct spinal alignment, spinal pain during the day is greatly reduced. So order the Better Sleep Pillow today to start your path to better sleep.
