The title of this issue is strange, isn’t it? Don’t panic, just listen to me slowly. The article has a subtitle – “A Serious Discussion About Proper Sleeping Position and Mattress Selection”.
I saw this book while wandering around on weekends. The title of the book is “Sleep Revolution”, and the subtitle is “How to Make Your Sleep More Efficient”. My first reaction was to sneer, thinking that sleeping is a natural thing, and how you practice it the day after tomorrow depends on everyone’s luck. Some people can snore by closing their eyes, and some people try various methods but suffer from insomnia every night. I wrote a book specifically to teach it, and it was raised to the height of “revolution”. Is the author too timid and timid?
Whilst thinking about me, I just flipped through it.
Then I shed tears of regret for my previous ignorance, arrogance and rudeness.
This is really a good book, comrades.
The author is Nick Littlehales, British, Manchester United’s queen sports sleep coach, and former president of the British Sleep Association. He has provided consulting services and long-term cooperation for top teams and athletes such as NBA, Premier League football players, and British Sky Team.
He first put forward many factors that affect the sleep of modern people from the perspective of the evolution of human beings. Then, he went against the mainstream and refuted the widely circulated argument that “you must sleep for 8 hours a day”. I’ve been tormented by this argument myself. Panic and anxiety after not sleeping for 8 hours, and then a vicious circle, eventually forming a kind of stress.
This book breaks through and then stands up. It first points out that it is basically nonsense to sleep for 8 hours, and then puts forward the R90 sleep plan based on the theoretical basis of sleep cycle and sleep scheduling. After reading the R90 plan, I feel that the whole person has been redeemed…
Overall, this book gave me a whole new perspective on sleep. In addition, the choice of mattress is mentioned in the book, which is very interesting.
Before talking about mattress selection, we must mention the sleeping position.
To put it simply and crudely, side sleeping is the only sleeping position Nick recommends, compared to supine and prone. That’s right, it’s the fetal sleeping position curled up when you’re still soaking in the amniotic fluid of the uterus.
Next, we can choose the mattress.
The author said that the more expensive the mattress, the better, the most important thing is to suit yourself. But mattresses play a vital role in bedding: “You can spend 100 percent of your budget on a mattress because the frame is mostly decorative.” So how do you know if a mattress is right for you? I summed up the easy three-step method from the book.
The first step is to take away all the bedding, leaving only a bare mattress;
The second step is to sleep on the side of the fetus;
Step three, call your partner—single dogs can call a friend or take a selfie—judging how big the gap is between your head and the mattress.
A good mattress that fits you should be able to easily accept your body shape, bear your weight evenly, and let your head, neck and spine form a straight line.
In the article, the author mentioned “foam mattress” several times. For example: “For every event, I ship my sleep bedding and foam mattresses all over the world. The high-quality viscose foam I use can be rolled up and stuffed in a bag, so shipping is inexpensive.” Another example: “…The bedding set is basically a portable single bed. According to the individual conditions of the players, it consists of 2-3 layers of viscoelastic foam…”
It can be seen that viscoelastic foam is a very good choice of mattress material for the Manchester United queen sports sleep coach. And the viscoelastic foam here is slow rebound polyurethane foam.
This polyurethane foam was first industrially produced in the mid-1960s as a result of NASA. When the aerospace vehicle is launched or re-entered, it can redistribute the overload force and then act on the astronauts, thereby reducing the pressure and providing a more comfortable environment for long-time flight pilots. Seat surface. In short, its biggest feature is that it recovers slowly after being compressed, and it can slow down vibration and absorb shock.
Now, more and more mattresses start to use slow rebound polyurethane foam. The bottom layer is spring or ordinary foam, which can support the human body to a certain extent, and an additional layer of slow-rebound foam is laid on the upper part, which can gently accept the human body and fit our body better, and the comfort of the mattress will be greatly improved. improve.
This book also introduces the replacement of mattresses, the choice of bedding sets, etc., so I won’t go into details here. In short, a good mattress may have an unimaginable effect on improving the quality of sleep. Choose a mattress that suits you and start a sleep revolution~
