The Best Type Of Mattress For Back Sleepers

Image
The Best Type Of Mattress For Back Sleepers Like stomach sleepers, back sleepers generally prefer firmer mattresses in order to keep proper spinal alignment. If the mattress is too soft, you’ll experience excess compression under your  hips  in particular, but possibly under your trunk and shoulders, as well. Basically, wherever you carry the majority of your weight, you need the mattress to keep its shape. We should be clear that a mattress being supportive does not necessarily meant that it will be firm. Support refers to the density and thickness of the materials within a mattress. Firmness/softness refers to the Indentation Load Deflection (ILD) rating for the materials. Picture a thin slab of foam that’s extremely firm. The firmness doesn’t counteract the fact that you have a thinner piece of foam. We’ll cover support here in a moment, but let’s stay focused on the firmness level of the mattress. In general,  side sleepers  require a bed that is softer...

Sleep and Athletes

Image
Sleep and Athletes The benefits of good sleep come into particular focus for athletes. Post-exercise recovery with extra sleep accelerates the building of muscle, strength, and endurance. Without proper sleep, athletes suffer from poorer reaction times, longer recovery times, and worsened performance. How does sleep affect athletes? The amount of sleep an athlete gets impacts their reaction time, attention and focus, physical recovery and injury proneness. The body restores itself during sleep, so it is necessary for recovery from intense training. A person who is sufficiently well-rested will not waste any resources on staying awake or straining to stay focused and alert. Thus, their body and their mind can focus solely on their athletic performance. Sleep affects reaction time While getting a good night sleep does not necessarily affect aerobic capacity, even mild sleep deprivation  reduces reaction time. Insufficient sleep leads to fatigue, and even sm...
