Getting a good nights rest should be very important to everyone. The length of sleep is not the most important thing, but the amount of deep sleep and REM that we receive. Having the right bed for you can greatly increase deep and REM sleep cycles. An adjustable bed to get the perfect position you desire and a full memory foam mattress to relieve pressure points and fully support the body is an excellent step up in achieving the goal of getting a better night’s sleep. By having the right bed that suits your comfort level, it will be easier for you to obtain a better sleep by keeping you comfortable, restful, and allow you to reach and stay in the deep sleep and REM phases of the sleep cycle. Deep sleep is the most vital stage of the sleep cycle, as it this stage that we are able to repair our body. In this deep sleep stage the blood flow supplied to the brain decreases and flows towards the muscles instead, which restores our physical energy. The brain is able to restore the energy that we use while we are awake. Research has also shown that immune functions also increase during deep sleep. If the deep sleep stage is shortened too much, you will not wake up feeling refreshed and can sometimes feel as though you got barely any sleep. REM sleep is a stage of repairing the mind and is known for processing emotions, memory, and relieving stress. This stage of sleep is very important for obtaining a better long term memory. The REM stage is also known as dream sleep and REM stands for “Rapid Eye Movement”. It is in this stage of sleep that dreams occur. During the REM sleep stage your breathing starts to get more rapid, the heart rate increases, blood pressure rises and rapid eye movements occur. Unlike deep sleep, the brain is very active during REM sleep, but the muscles become stiffened. The brain is at least as active during REM sleep as it is when you are awake. The face, fingers, and legs may also twitch during this stage. Deep and REM sleep are both very important in the sleep cycle. Deep sleep repairs the body while REM sleep helps to repair the mind. Getting an adequate amount of these types of sleep is essential to a person’s health, whether you realize it or not. You will wake up feeling much more refreshed and feel better throughout your day. A way to help get this deep and REM sleep that the body requires, a better mattress or an adjustable bed that has adjustable positions for you to get comfortable in is a great option. There are also memory foam mattresses for adjustable beds that will contour to the shape of your body, getting you much more relaxed and able to stay in these stages of sleep longer. Having the right bed and mattress may be much more important than you thought.
