How to Get a Better Night Sleep

Edmonton, by Kelly P Kramer

Tossing and turning the whole night? Can’t get comfortable? Wake up with back pain? Want to know the secret to getting a better night’s sleep? It’s your mattress!

Hard to believe? I have found through some extensive research that if you can not sleep at night, most likely it is because of your mattress. You see if you are not comfortable you will need to move during the night to get more comfortable. Each time you move you come out of your much needed sleep and wake just slightly. But even though this is very slightly it is enough to disrupt you during the day.

You may be experiencing some pain while you sleep, this pain comes from the compression of the mattress then pushing back on you. These are called pressure points. The pressure points are in the upper and lower back, the shoulders, the neck, and the hips. You could have pain in other areas that could be from your mattress, but these are the most common.

The reason you have pressure points is because of the exertion of our body weight against the compression of the mattress. The mattress pushing back with the same pressure we exert on the mattress, remember physics 10? Either did I, I had to look it up lol. The greater the pressure we push the greater it pushes back, and the greater the pain. The greater the pain the more often you will toss and turn. And every time you toss and turn the more your sleep is disrupted.

Maybe you have no problem with pressure points, but your partner does. Then every time they toss and turn you wake up as well. Well, if they did not toss and turn how much better night sleep would you get? So again it comes back to your mattress. Their discomfort becomes your discomfort. By now you must be thinking that the solution for this is that mattress you see on TV where the girl jumps up and down and does not spill the wine. This might help you in this case, but if your partner is still tossing and turning is it helping them? Or if the role is reversed, you may help your partner with that kind of bed if you are tossing and turning, but you are still tossing and turning. That is no solution.
