How can we move UP TO GREAT SLEEP . . .
THE SLEEP WE WANT ?
For many of us, the answer is in our control -- we're simply
not exercising that control to our best benefit. Much of a
sleep problem can be unintentionally self-inflicted (and that's
actually good . . . because it means we have a high degree of
control to improve it.) See our section on sleep interruptions.
Our task: To help you raise your sleep quality
For example, the choice we make when we buy a mattress
and pillow will have a huge impact on our quality of sleep.
In our research, we're continually seeing that most traditional
mattresses and pillows in use today -- particularly the leading
brands -- can actually DISTURB THE SLEEP for many users
in ways that most sleepers don't even realize.
Those reasons (problems) have to do with our body's biomechanics and our own unique physiology. Sleep quality -- including difficulty getting to sleep, restlessness, tossing and turning and uncomfortable body pains you experience -- may be caused or aggravated by your sleep surface. NightCare solves these problems:
For example:
- Pressure upon your body by your sleeping surface (caused by mattress or pillow)
In sleep-science jargon: Exceeding the ischemic pressure threshold causing reduction or cessation of blood circulation, leading to disrupted sleep, pains and even to pressure ulcers.)
- Postural (body), spinal, back and neck proglems while sleeping (caused by many mattresses and pillows)
In sleep-science jargon: Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine mal-positioning or non-support as to cause pain and disruptions in the sleep cycles. - Snoring and sleep apnea disruptions (NightCare's pillow and mattress alleviate these).
In sleep-science jargon: Reduction in airway patency as to cause snoring, hypopea or apnea
events, sleep interruptions and reduced blood oxygen levels. Sleeping with the wrong pillow
may cause these problems, and can certainly make them worse.
- Other Factors include motion transfer causiing sleep disruption when a sleeping partner shifts or or moves; mattress-or-pillow-retained temperature from the body; and allergies from bed or pillow materials. For information about these NightCare benefits, click here.
Whenever these factors are combined, it has a huge impact that most sleepers are unaware of.
If you're thinking now . . "Wow, I can see and understand now how traditional mattresses and pillows can actually DISTURB my sleep, and I didn't even know it" . . . well, you're absolutely right. And well- known name brands are among the biggest culprits !
Impact of these sleep interruptions on your quality of sleep can be dramatic; to see, Click here. Our core focus is to reduce or eliminate these problems with superior, "next generation" products. For typical examples of what NightCare users are saying about their sleep, see "the sleep I want". We're proud to be helping you.
Together
Your mattress and pillow really should work together as a harmonious "sleep system" with features that are designed and integrated to work together to deliver the highest-quality of sleep possible. NightCare's do; they were designed on the basis of the same science and technology. Most traditional mattresses and pillows -- and probably the ones you're using right now -- aren't designed to work together with your unique body.

What the experts say:
- "Lack of sleep disrupts every physiologic function in the body" said Eve Van Cauter of the University of Chicago. "We have nothing in our biology that allows us to adapt to this behavior."
- The foundations of good health are good diet, good exercise and good sleep, but 2 out of 3 doesn't get you there, " says Dr. Anne Calhoune, a neurology professor at the University of North Carolina.
"What you sleep on is what you get."
"My sleep's not so good ..."
