National study finds sleep is integral to wellness
(ARA) A majority of Americans agree that nothing beats a good night's sleep for good health not even regular exercise and proper diet. The quality and amount of sleep you get every night are crucial factors in determining whether your body and mind are functioning at their best.
"There is no denying the importance and restorative nature of sleep," says Barry Bittman, M.D., neurologist, author. "However, what most Americans don't realize is that even if they are getting the right amount of sleep, they still may not be getting the quality of sleep they need."
According to Tempur-Pedic's 2007 National Wellness Survey, an independently researched study for mattress manufacturer Tempur-Pedic International Inc., three out of four Americans (76 percent) say a good night's sleep makes them feel younger, helping to refresh their bodies and minds. The study also shows that Americans believe their sleeping surface affects their quality of sleep, with 9 out of 10 considering their investment in a mattress also as investment in well-being.
The secret to well-being, physical and emotional rejuvenation and an improved daily outlook just might start in bed.
