While manyAmericans enjoy the benefits of
sufficient sleep, as many as 47 million adults may be putting
themselves at risk for injury, health and behavior problems
because they aren't meeting their minimum sleep need in order
to be fully alert the next day.
( 2002 Sleep in America poll ).www.sleepfoundation.org
"How we function during our waking hours is greatly influenced
by duration and quality of nighttime sleep," said James K. Walsh,
PhD, president of the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). "Concentration,
alertness and reaction time are among the many performance factors
that can suffer when sleep is acutely or chronically disturbed.
"Good sleep is vital for healthy living and is as important
as good nutrition and physical fitness," said Peter Farrell,
PhD, biomedical engineer and Chief Executive Officer of ResMed
Inc.
"We know that there is a link between sleep and
performance. Proper sleep boosts metabolic efficiency, which
helps burn body fat, increases the release of growth hormones,
which helps build muscle and accelerate recovery, and improves
concentration and reaction times. And that's an issue whether
you're an NFL player, a weekend athlete, operate a truck, or
work behind a desk."

MYTHS -- AND FACTS -- ABOUT SLEEP |
 |
Health problems such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and depression are unrelated to the amount and quality of a person's sleep.
Studies have found a relationship between the quantity and
quality of one's sleep and many health problems. For example,
insufficient sleep affects growth hormone secretion that is
linked to obesity; as the amount of hormone secretion decreases,
the chance for weight gain increases. Blood pressure usually
falls during the sleep cycle, however, interrupted sleep can
adversely affect this normal decline, leading to hypertension
and cardiovascular problems. Research has also shown that
insufficient sleep impairs the body's ability to use insulin,
which can lead to the onset of diabetes. More and more scientific
studies are showing correlations between poor and insufficient
sleep and disease.

Is Your Bed All that It Can Be? |
 |
Many
people change where they live or what they drive more often
than they change their mattress or pillows. Yet nothing lasts
forever.
Although there isn't much published research on mattresses,
mattress quality may affect how sleep feels to the sleeper.
Discomfort can make falling asleep more difficult and lead to
restless slumber. |
Does
your mattress provide the support you like? Do you wake with
your back aching? Is there enough room for you and your sleep
partner? Do you sleep better, or worse, when you sleep away
from home?
Mattresses may be made of inner springs, foam, fabric, water
or air. They may be firmer or more responsive to your body.
This, in turn, may affect body temperature and humidity, as
well as comfort.

Choosing the best mattress for low back pain
Benefits of a good mattress
Sleeping on the wrong mattress has negative consequences for low back pain. A mattress lacking in back support reinforces poor sleeping posture, strains muscles and does not help keep the spine in alignment, all of which can increase low back pain. The patient also sacrifices sleep comfort if they do not choose a mattress that matches their individual preferences. A mattress that provides both sleep comfort and back support helps reduce low back pain, allowing the structures in the spine to really rest and rejuvenate during the night.
With the variety of mattresses on the market, choosing the right
mattress for sleep comfort and back support can be a confusing
decision. For people with low back pain, it's definitely worth
it to take time to select the best mattress for their back.
The best mattress for patients with low back pain
The following practical guidelines are designed to help patients
with low back pain choose the best mattress for back support
and sleep comfort.
