Wake Up To The Facts About A Good Night's Sleep

Just about everyone has heard that sleep is important to health and well-being, but did you know just how important it really is? The fact is, the human body can survive without food and water longer than it can without adequate sleep. Assess your own sleep needs and test your Sleep IQ with the quiz below.
1. Do you know the cause of your stuffy nose, puffy eyes, and sneezing when you wake up in the morning? nothing, it's normal the onset of a cold my bedding
Answer: c
It's often dust mites, mold, and mildew lurking in your bedding that cause these allergic reactions. Dust mites, mold, and mildew thrive in the damp and moist environment of your feather and down pillows and bedding. These fills trap moisture and create a clammy atmosphere that allergens love. Wool, however, is hypo-allergenic and absorbs moisture then releases it quickly into the environment keeping you and your bedding dry - all night long. Wool's remarkable ability to absorb moisture is important as the average person loses up to a pint of moisture a night while they sleep.
2. Do you know why your joints are achy and stiff in the morning? not enough sleep excessive tossing and turning all of the above
Answer: b
Excessive tossing and turning is often the cause of aches and joint pain. According to an Australian study, the average person tosses and turns 45 to 50 times per night. This disrupts sleep and causes joint pain. The study also showed that participants who slept on a wool mattress pad reduced their tossing and turning by more than 50 percent. Participants also had a lower, steadier heart rate. A wool mattress pad cushions the body's pressure points like shoulders, hips, and ankles making it the ideal choice for a restful night's sleep.
