Sleep & Weight

Did you ever think that sleep and body weight would have any link to each other? More and more research results are proving there to be a strong link between sleep and weight. It’s a relationship that works in multiple directions: lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, and extra weight can undermine quality and quantity of sleep. And both conditions—sleep deprivation and unhealthy weight — are known to elevate the risk for a wide range of health problems, from heart disease and diabetes to depression. It’s important to know the differences in the ways men and women experience the relationship between weight and sleep, in order to develop treatments that are targeted and effective. There are some basic habits that can help everyone—male or female—maintain a healthy weight and strengthen their sleep: excercise, diet, consistency in your schedule, etc. Another important factor is the quality and type of sleep equipment you have. The most obvious ones to evaluate is your mattress and pillows. The quality of your sleep can have a significant impact by the type of mattress and pillows you use. A mattress that provides the best support, comfort, temperature regulation and no motion disturbance can lead to a more restful night. If you sleep better, you will probably impact your weight gains or loss.

Pillow Talk

More broadly may also refer to conversations between couples that may arise after quality time or as they settle in for the night and cuddle themselves to sleep. Pillow Talk for us is about providing you with information on how to find the right pillow for yourself. Next to shoes and jackets, the next most frequent item found in most households are pillows. On average, most people will go through 15-20 different types, shapes and sizes of pillows. The biggest drawback to keeping them around forever is the amount of dust mites that may make your pillows their home. In some people, these lurkers can cause allergic reactions, triggering asthma-like symptoms or sinus problems. Finding the right pillow can be difficult and confusing, but at Sleep Shop we make that an easy choice. To help the pillow conform to various sleep positions, it is best if the pillow can be adjusted to fit the unique shape and curves and sleeping position of the user. A pillow should mold to one’s individual shape and alleviate any pressure points. Come see our large selection of down feather, natural latex and memory foam pillows.

Sleep & Exercise

Today, inadequate or poor quality of sleep has become an epidemic that 7 out of 10 are complaining about lack of sleep. Bottom line: No matter what age you are, if you are exercising you will sleep well. Here is what Dr. Breus’ take on sleep and exercise. So what’s behind the performance boost from sleep? The cognitive benefits of sleep translate onto the field. Sleep is critical to the brain’s ability to perform mental tasks efficiently and well. The brain uses sleep to consolidate memory into longer-term knowledge, clearing the area of the brain used for short-term memory in preparation to absorb new information. During sleep, the brain also works to prioritize the information it thinks will be important in the future. Sleep deprivation has well-studied negative effects on reaction times—and even a single night of sleep deprivation can slow down quick response times. Sleep promotes muscle recovery. Sleep is a critical time for cell regeneration and repair in the body. During non-REM stages of sleep, cell division and regeneration actually becomes more active than during waking hours. Insufficient sleep, on the other hand, hinders muscle recovery.
