Common Disruptors of Sleep -Friday, February 14, 2020

Sleeping In A Hole

Ever wonder why your back is sore when you wake up from sleeping?

Feel like you got an eight hour back work out while you were sleeping? Can’t

relax in bed in the morning because the back pain makes you

uncomfortable? It is probably because you are sleeping in a trench! "If you

can fit three fingers between your lower back and the mattress, then it's not

giving enough support," says Karin Mahoney, director of the

Better Sleep Council. When your body doesn’t receive the proper support it needs while

you sleep, your back ends up doing all the work, hence the back pain when

you wake up. Mahoney recommends rotating the mattress by 180 degrees

every six months or so to keep the pressure even as the mattress is being

used. Sleep experts are always hesitant to recommend the perfect model,

material or brand of mattress, due to the fact that comfort is subjective and

therefore different per individual, but medium-firm has been shown in studies

and through patient reports to be comfortable for most people. Your body will

let you know when it is time for an upgrade when you regularly wake up with

stiffness, numbness and back pain! It is common practice to test-drive

mattresses at hotel chains before committing to a purchase, or working with

a distributor that has a comfort guarantee to truly test out the mattress. For

the shopper that shops on averages, according the industry data, queen-

sized innersprings are the most popular in the U.S. but the new gel

mattresses are said to be a comfortable and low stress alternative.

Pillow Height

A pillow is essential to a good night’s sleep and waking up feeling

energetic! This is when it really matters if you are a back, side, or stomach

sleeper. The purpose of a pillow is to properly align the spine but if you don’t

get the right fit for the pillow you could be doing more harm than good. For

the stomach sleepers, you have to make sure your pillow isn’t too thick. If

you get a pillow that is too thick it will push your head back! Not only will this

be extremely uncomfortable but it could also cause some knots in your neck.

For the back sleepers, a medium sized pillow seems to be best. If you go too

thin you won’t have the proper support for your head and neck but if you go

too thick your chin will be touching your chest. You will know when you found

the right level when your head isn’t being forced into an awkward angle.

Last but not least, the side sleepers. The typical side sleeper seems to have a

fairly large profile and space to fill when they are on their side. This is when a

thick pillow comes into play. Thick pillows can typically fill the big gap

efficiently, providing the amount of support side sleepers crave. A well sized

pillow can save you from weeks of unwarranted neck and shoulder pain.

Breathe Easy

The optimal way to breathe in general is through the nose, says Nancy

Collop, MD, president of the

American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Our noses

warm the air and filter out dirt and other particles. When sleeping, especially

when on the back, breathing passageways can start to be partially

obstructed either by your tongue or objects around you. When an air

passage is blocked, the typical response is to open the mouth creating

another air passage. Breathing through the mouth, especially while sleeping,

can lead to snoring, throat irritation, intense dry mouth and even abnormal

respiration and sleep apnea. This is when adjustable bases become

medically advantageous. That’s right; they aren’t just for sitting up in bed to

see the TV better! With a slight lift of the head, typically referred to as a

pillow tilt, you can help open up the breathing pathways which allow you to

use your nose, stop the snoring, and most importantly, sleep throughout the

night.

https://aasm.org/

Too Hot In Here?

The body actually uses temperature to help us get tired and prepare us

for sleep. Cold temperatures make us drowsy, and a falling core body

temperature helps us get to sleep faster. If you want to fall asleep faster and

more efficient, try and help this process along. You can do this by turning

down the heat and keeping your bedroom cool (ideally, around 60 to 68

degrees). Opening the windows also helps bring in fresh, oxygen-rich air

(unless you live near a freeway), which can contribute to a healthy sleep

cycle. Most importantly, it is good to know that there is a certain period of

REM sleep during which your internal heating and cooling systems change

and you become more sensitive to the temperature of the air around you. If

you wake up at this point it may interrupt the point in your sleep cycle where

you are actually gaining energy.

Luckily, technology has advanced in the mattress industry and most mattresses have some sort of way to orientate

your temperature. These gel foams or phase change materials won’t make

you cold but they do keep you at one sleeping temperature so that you don’t

awake to any temperature changes and can sleep fully throughout the night.

A Cool Bed Just Isn’t Cool Enough!

Even if you sleep on a cooler mattress, in a cold room, you may still

wake up soaked in sweat. This is commonly due to your sheets or even your

pajamas underperforming. Luckily, the mattress industry has advanced in

stride when it comes to heat. Several new technologies and products address

the problem of night sweats and overheating, such as: cooling mattress

protectors, performance protectors and sheets that are made from wicking

fabrics, and even pillows with cooling technology.

Tossing And Turning?

If you get mad at your significant other every time they get in and out

of bed for waking you up, stop getting mad at them and get mad at your

mattress. The mattress jiggles are a problem of the past nowadays with most

decent mattresses being made with independently pocketed coils. With the

coils no longer being connected through a steal rod, they act independently

of one another, minimizing the movement between you and your partner.

Memory foam is also known to help with this type of dynamic response! If

you really need to tackle that mattress movement, your best bet is a little of

both worlds; a hybrid!

Are you ready for some Football? -Saturday, February 1, 2020

Until the world gets it together and finally makes the day after the Superbowl a national holiday Mattress Direct can help you make the most out of your Superbowl snacks and post game sleep! Don't let the big game keep you from your reposonibilities on Monday!

One of the biggest ways you can improve your post Superbowl sleep is with the types of snacks and when you do your drinking of adult beverages.

Snacks suggestions:

You can do the typical Pizza, wings, chips, chili.....whatever it is. Just don’t over do it and try to finish up well before bedtime. If you eat them earlier in the day your body can digest it properly and it won't keep you up too late! Also if you want spicy go for it but again try it earlier in the day.

Try Almonds instead of Popcorn, turkey sandwhiches instead of salami, and guacamole instead of cream cheese based dips all help with promoting sleepiness and won't keep you up too late. Guacamole especially is filled with magnesium a great tool to help you sleep!

And helpful tip all year round but definitely important on Superbowl Sunday: Slow down your Adult Beverages as the night goes on/game gets further along. Passing out from drinking may put you right into a deep sleep, but it tends to make you incredibly restless as the night goes on and you are much more likely to wake up sooner and have a tough time getting back to bed. Not only will you be grumpy and hungover when you wake up, your body will be blasted from not getting a refreshing, restful sleep. So kick back, have a couple adult beverages of your choice, quit while you are ahead, drink some water, and get a refreshing night's sleep!

Mattress Direct wants you to sleep the best so you can be your best. So take care of yourselves and enjoy the game!

And if KC manages a win.... we highly suggest some high quality ear plugs, because fireworks will be going off all night!

Sleep Rules: Rule Number 1: Align Your Spine with a Perfect Pillow. -Wednesday, October 2, 2019

Originally Published at The Sleep Rules Podcast

So, the quest for a perfect pillow is as daunting as The Holy Grail or the Davinci code. Or is it? I mean it’s just a pillow, right? Well, that overlooked article of bedding consists of 30% of your spine, BRO! I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s the truth. Then I remembered my old wrestling friends telling me that “if you control the head, you control the body.” I use to pass that on by because I couldn’t relate it to anything in my life at the time. I mean, I wasn’t shooting any double leg take downs or suplexing anybody at the time. But now it makes sense. If my head is not in proper alignment, NEITHER is my body! So that explained my years of neck, shoulder, and hip aches. IT WASN’T JUST THE MATTRESS!!!!

So how does one find an ever elusive “Perfect Pillow”? Well, go get fitted. Mattress Direct does this. They actual do this before you even lay down on your potential mattress. First, they take into accounts your sleeping position (side, back, stomach, any which way but loose) and choose the appropriate pillow for such position. Then have you lay down on a bed that is suitable for your request of comfort. No longer do you have to wander a store holding a pillow like an old boom box. That may bring you back to your break dancing days, but it will not bring you to Comfort Town. Comfort Town is when you have that one pillow, one pillow that rules them all. Lord of The Pillows style.

Come on by one of your friendly, neighborhood Mattress Directs and get fitted for that pillow Today. I mean, why wait till tomorrow when you aren’t sleeping any better and are in a foul mood. You don’t like that you, and the world will be better once you start following the Sleep Rules.

The Sharing Shed Welcome Home Program -Monday, September 9, 2019

St. Louis, September 9th, 2019: - Mattress Direct (www.stlmattressdirect.com) a St. Louis based Mattress Seller, and their subsidiary, Campbell Mattress (www.campbellsleep.com), a mattress manufacturer in Cape Girardeau, MO have announced a partnership with The Sharing Shed (www.thesharingshed.org) an O’fallon, MO based charitable organization.

The “Home at Last” program is designed collect new and gently used home goods for families and individuals in the St. Charles County and surrounding areas affected by recent flooding.

Mattress Direct has worked with the Sharing Shed for 4 years collecting gently used sheets, blankets, and pillows at all Mattress Direct Showrooms, helping collect gently used mattresses through DeliverPRO, and building twin mattresses at Campbell Mattress.

“When I first met Sherry from the Sharing Shed, she told me that they received some second hand queen size mattresses, but rarely were twin mattresses donated. They often were forced to sleep children on the floor or put three or four kids in one queen size bed together.” Said, Pat McCurren CEO of Mattress Direct, Inc.

“We’re excited to be developing the “Home at Last” program with The Sharing Shed,” McCurren continued. “Every child deserves a bed of their own. Sherry and the volunteers at the Sharing Shed are working hard week in and week out to help provide the basic necessities for those who are suddenly in crisis, and it’s been an honor to help them collect the items they need to do such important work.”

During the month of September, Home at Last has a goal of donating a new mattress to 100 children currently without a bed of their own.

For every Campbell Heritage Collection, M.H. Gray, or Relax-O-Pedic Mattress purchased from Mattress Direct a twin mattress will be donated to The Sharing Shed for little ones in need.

Twin mattress can be purchased at Mattress Direct for the "Home at Last" program to be delivered to The Sharing Shed.

Donations can be made directly to the "Home at Last" program by visiting http://www.thesharingshed.org
