As statistics indicate, sleep health problems affect people in
so many different ways that it is impossible to develop one
universal solution that will remedy everyone. However, there
is a simple approach known as "sleep hygiene" that many are
taking to heart to improve personal sleep wellness. Sleep
hygiene encompasses the environmental factors and behaviors
that may be either detrimental or beneficial to sleep quality.
Managing stress, diet, exercise and maintaining a bedtime
regimen can assist in achieving better sleep. In addition,
environmental factors such as darkness, temperature and noise
impact sleep quality. What's more, one of the most overlooked
areas that can easily be controlled is the quality of the
sleep surface.
Optimizing the level of support the spine receives during the
night is paramount to getting quality sleep. Studies show that
when the correct amount of support is supplied, the spine
remains aligned and a person can enjoy a thorough rest period
for the entire night. However, if the spine is not aligned due
to a non-supportive sleep surface, a person's back muscles
work throughout the night in an attempt to position the spine
properly. As a result, they wake up feeling sore and unrested.
