Nobody is entirely sure just how sleep works or what the body does while you’re out, but we have some ideas http://ow.ly/mrMy4
Nobody is entirely sure just how sleep works or what the body does while you’re out, but it is known that depriving yourself of a full night’s sleep can have unpleasant side effects. The vast majority of people don’t consider this to be a major problem, but that is only because they don’t seem to fully grasp the potential dangers associated with a lack of sleep. Being deprived of sleep long enough can actually be fatal.
Decreased alertness and reflexes are the first signs that someone hasn’t been getting enough sleep. As side effects go, most people don’t really pay much attention to this. For the most part, people who experience this problem tend to think that a couple of cups of coffee throughout the day can compensate. Slow and sluggish behavior can have consequences on one’s personal and professional performance, even if caffeine is taken to compensate. The impaired environmental awareness and the reduced ability to react to things quickly enough is just the first of many potential side effects.
Sleep deprivation can be very hazardous to a person’s mental health, particularly if the lack of sleep is chronic. Emotional stability may also suffer if the lack of sleep is accompanied by other emotional factors, playing on the brain’s already impaired ability to properly process stimuli from the environment and from other people.
According to studies, mammals that are rendered unable to sleep for prolonged periods tend to die from the loss of the ability to regulate their body temperature. While this has not been tested on humans, it is reasonable to assume that the same would occur if a person were to be prevented from sleeping for three weeks. A lack of sleep in connection with fatal familial insomnia can cause rapid degeneration of brain cells, though it is uncertain if fatalities are directly caused by the sleep deprivation or if it was caused by a related problem.
The immune system can also be impaired by a lack of sleep, making a person more susceptible to infection and disease. The cardiovascular system, which is believed to go into a more relaxed state during sleep, can be taxed during prolonged period without sleep. In some cases, three days without sleep can lead to a heart attack or heart failure. Blood pressure has also been known to go up due to lack of sleep, with some cases being reported where the pressure actually doubled. This, combined with the effects on mood and temperament, can do serious damage to a person’s relationships.
Indeed, losing sleep is more than just being drowsy the morning after. If left unaddressed for such a long period of time, it could lead and worsen to the loss of not only sleep– but of one’s mind.

Are you shopping for a memory foam mattress? Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the jargon that’s out there?
There are really only three main things you must know, in order to get a mattress that will serve you well for years to come … temperature sensitivity, density and the thickness of the memory foam layer.
Selecting the correct memory foam mattress is an important decision, and by adopting these tips, you will have no anxiety about selecting the correct one.
You’ll know more about memory foam and how to select a good mattress than most mattress store salespeople.
Select A Mattress With Temperature Sensitivity
Not every memory foam mattress that’s available, on the market, will be sensitive to temperature.
But, temperature sensitivity is one of the most crucial features that makes a memory foam mattress so unique and so downright comfortable.
When shopping for a mattress, if you are able to buy one that adjusts to the temperature, please do so. You will find that the mattress will absorb your body heat and soften up.
The same is true when the environment is cooler, the mattress will become firmer.
It’s easy to check for temperature sensitivity. Just place a zip lock bag of ice on it for a few minutes and it will be much firmer under the ice than on the rest of the mattress.
Select A Mattress With The Correct Density
One of the main things to consider, when choosing the correct memory foam mattress, is the density of the memory foam. The density of the memory foam can be described as the weight, of the mattress, measured in a cubic foot of memory foam.
If you were to cut a piece of memory foam into a 12 x12 x 12 shape of a cube, or giant dice, and take its weight, the resulting weight would be its density.
There are various theories, whirling around out there, about which is the correct density of a memory foam mattress to select. Some mattress sellers will try to sell you something in a 3 lb density range.
It is better to select a memory foam mattress between densities of 5.0-5.9 lb., because at densities lower than 5.0, the mattresses will not support your lower back, shoulders and hips.
Beyond the density of 5.9, memory foam mattresses will be too dense to allow for proper support. If you like a futon, that’s what it might feel like at this density.
Select A Mattress With Enough Top Layer
When going out to purchase a memory foam mattress, it is important to select one that has enough memory foam on the top layer.
Usually it is best to get a mattress that has been manufactured with at least 3.5 inches of memory foam as its top layer.
The importance of selecting a mattress with the correct thickness of memory foam on top, can not be stressed enough.
If this layer is too thin, then the person ends up sleeping, partly, on the underlying polyurethane foam, and runs the risk of an uncomfortable night’s sleep.
Select A Mattress Under Warranty
Another great idea when selecting a memory foam mattress is to buy one with a warranty. Buying a product under a warranty is not only a great idea for a mattress but for anything in general.
These mattresses can be purchased with a 20-25 year limited warranty, giving you the ability to have any defects repaired or have the item replaced. Having a warranty on your memory foam mattresses can make you feel much better about purchasing one.
Overall, this might seem like a lot of information to digest, but keeping these tips in mind, when selecting your memory foam mattress, can help make it easier for you to decide on the right one for your needs.
Getting a great night’s sleep is too important to sleep on anything else but a memory foam mattress!
