I was just reading a Twit from a man claiming that he would "sleep when he was dead." I suppose that's some sort of boast about how important he is and how short life is and how he's going to conquer it. Actually, I find it pretty self serving and ignorant, sort of like a small boy's rant. Science has observed that we can go longer without food and water than we can without sleep. The truth is, we are getting less and less quality sleep today than ever before. "Ever since man met machine, sleep has been on the skids." In today's stress filled society, sleep is harder to find and more important than ever.
I want to suggest to you that the mattress that you sleep on can make a big difference in the amount and quality of sleep that you get. I'm not suggesting that a new mattress is going to cure everything that ails you. And a new mattress that is the wrong mattress is no better than an old wrong mattress. In fact, you'd do well to keep the old mattress in that case and spend the savings on sedatives; forbid the thought.
For over thirty five years I have been recommending that my customers dress down into something really comfortable and get into a "sleep shop" and "test rest" mattresses designed to meet their specific needs. There are a handful of "trustworthy" sleep professionals that are very updated on the latest and greates products to meet your specific needs. You won't find them at the "big box" stores or yelling and screaming about half off prices. These are a grade of very dedicated professionals that genuinely care and have taken the time to get the knowledge you need when you are ready to get a better night's sleep. Find one and start sleeping better tonight. In Knoxville, Tennessee, that would be any one of The Bed Store's eight locations.
