The Common Symptoms of Sleeping on The Wrong Mattress
Sleeping on the wrong mattress makes life a nightmare.
The wrong mattress can mean all manner of aches, pains, injuries and cognitive deficits. You might experience the symptoms regularly and not even make the connection that your mattress is the sneaky villain. Many people don’t. You’d be surprised how much sleeping on the wrong mattress can wreak havoc on your body, your productivity, your mood and your performance.
Skimping on sleep spells bad news because getting a good night’s sleep is so important for optimal mental and physical wellbeing. In fact, studies have shown that poor sleep can have serious consequences. Waking up multiple times per night because you’re hot, uncomfortable or tossing and turning is not part of your normal sleep.
If you feel like you’ve been hit by a truck every single morning, you’ve probably forgotten how “well-rested” feels. It’s so important to keep reminding yourself that exhaustion and restlessness are not the norm. Good sleep has a restorative function that propagates a variety of health benefits, so if poor sleep is making every waking moment a living nightmare, it’s definitely worth looking into the contributing factors.
Sleeping on the wrong mattress could easily be one of the main culprits.
