Choosing the Best Mattress for You
Sleep is broken down into REM and non-REM cycles, each offering different benefits to the body. Non-REM sleep consists of different stages, culminating in REM sleep. REM sleep is the restorative stage of the cycle and is important for the rejuvenation of your body. REM sleep normally occurs after you have been asleep for 90 minutes and will last only about 10 minutes. The cycles will then repeat themselves, progressively lasting longer each time.
Does your mattress let you complete the sleep cycle? Many mattresses do not provide your body with the comfort needed to stay still long enough to complete these necessary cycles. Tossing and turning interrupts the sleep cycle; these interruptions cause your body to react in way that leave you feeling unrested when you wake.

Do Sleep Sounds Help You Fall Asleep?
Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? It may be time to turn off the phone and turn up the soothing sounds of pure white noise to send you off to dreamland. But do these soothing sounds actually help you fall asleep?
Dr. Ralph Pascualy, the medical director of Northwest Hospital Sleep Center in Seattle, explains that the brain craves sensory input. During sleep a random noise (like the wind outside your window or a creaky roof) may wake you up because your brain is in need of stimulation. However, when you have constant white noise, Dr. Pascualy explains, this gives the brain a tonic signal which dampens its own internal symptoms and allows you to continue sleeping peacefully.
