Sleep is Vital to Health

Nature’s Tranquilizer

Almost everyone knows that rest is vital to health. But research publicized by the U.S. National Sleep Foundation reveals a connection between rest and stress ~ and why good rest is even more important now.

The foundation explains why rest has become crucial today. In times of increased stress, the body has an increased need for this resting, restorative function. Almost everyone has experienced a familiar phenomenon: when we are ill, or upset, we tend to need rest more. An ordinary cold or flu makes us rest longer. And psychologists will tell you that a person suffering from clinical depression rests many more hours a day than the average.

Clearly, when there is a problem, rest is one way our bodies deal with it. But unfortunately, there are times when the very reason we may need rest, can also rob us of our ability to get it.

The National Sleep Foundation points to several events that have raised the national anxiety level. The threat of terrorism at home is one. This is a problem Americans haven’t had to cope with before, and it has raised the national sense of unease.

The weak economy is another concern. The combination of increased unemployment and permanent downsizing in the business sector has created a situation where jobs are harder to come by. There is more competition for the positions that remain ~ and as the Baby Boom generation enters middle age, they will have to contend with the threat of being replaced by younger, lower-salaried workers. Potential loss of one’s livelihood is enough to keep anyone awake at night.

The National Sleep Foundation says that one likely result of these events is what they identify as relaxation disruptions, ranging from trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, to waking early or having nightmares.

Fortunately, there are ways to fight back. If we can’t change the troubling factors in our lives, we can take action to do what we can to protect against our inability to relax. The most obvious move is to make sure we are comfortable and relaxed. And the best way to do this is with relaxation technology that acts like a natural, non-drug tranquilizer!

The Dream Relaxation System uses innovations that are designed to relax the individual. Consider the support factor, for one. Proper support for the body and spine is not only orthopedically right, it also provides a pleasing, reassuring psychological boost. An infant feels relaxed and secure in it’s mother’s arms, and even in adults, the sensation of being supported imparts a sense of security. It’s no accident that the word “supportive” has emotional as well as physical connotations. Dream Relaxation Systems are designed to provide this feeling, with a scientifically calibrated, multi-layer structure that helps eliminate pressure points and offers a feeling of relaxed buoyancy.

One well-known stress reliever is massage. It helps relax tense muscles, loosens stiff joints, and can help to release pent-up frustration and worry. The psychological benefits of massage are recognized. The Dream Relaxation System has a built-in massage system with a specialized Rubberthane. These specially treated nodules promote a kind of passive massage that stimulates and relaxes with every body movement.

Relaxation is encouraged by another unique rest system innovation. It’s been suggested that the peaceful, calm feeling generated in natural settings such as a forest or a waterfall, may come from the increased amount of negative ions in these places. The Dream Relaxation System uses this idea in producing the Dream Relaxation Comforter, with Ionic Comfort Technology ~ a Dream Relaxation System exclusive.

The National Sleep Foundation says that increased stress can lead to rest problems for every member of the family. One-way to counteract the effects of stress ~ and to promote rest’s healing benefits ~ is with relaxation techniques. With the Dream Relaxation System, tension-reducing technology is built right in!
