Sleep


Care to Comfort
Your nightly rest can be divided into three phases: relaxing, falling asleep and sleeping.
Relaxing
It is conducive to sleep to let your mind come to rest before going to sleep. An adjustable bed offers you the option to spend another half an hour in a comfortable position, reading (choose a reading lamp that lights only the pages), watching TV or talking without having to struggle with propped-up pillows and other primitive devices. An adjustable base should not only raise the upper body, but also the legs, ideally with a bend where the knees are. If the part of the base under the legs cannot be raised, you will slide slowly but surely downwards.
Falling asleep
It is difficult to determine the transition between being awake and sleeping. It is more of a gradual process than an abrupt switch. Our body temperature falls and the memory function changes. We slowly become less aware of our surroundings. In order to lower the body temperature, the body releases water vapour in the form of perspiration. That water vapour evaporates on the skin, drawing heat from the body.
Sleeping
Sleep is a state of physical rest and a low level of consciousness. In general, sleep is assumed to have a restorative function for the mind and body.
