You can have the best health habits in the world but if you aren't sleeping well you simply won't ever be truly healthy. Sleep restores your brain and body. It recharges your batteries, helps you sort out and solve problems, replaces vital chemicals, and gives you the energy you need to meet the new day.
Think about it like this: When you sleep, you're giving yourself a restorative "mini-spa retreat" every night.
And that feels good, right?
Not if you're in the same bed as 60% of Americans. That's because millions of us don't get enough sleep. A recent National Sleep Foundation study reported that more adults than ever are experiencing occasional problems sleeping.
So, when you know that sleep is so important, why is it so tough to get what you need? There are a variety of factors that can hamper your ability to get a great night's sleep - everything from the foods you eat to the comforter on your bed. The good news is that when you take control of your sleeping environment and habits, you can help yourself drift quickly and easily into dreamland.
So, how can you set yourself up for a better night's sleep? WITH WOOL!
When it comes to treating yourself to the best bedding possible - and thus the most optimal sleep experience - Dr. Mercola recommends wool.
- Wool provides the perfect four-season comfort no matter where you live. That's because wool is naturally thermo-regulating - it's insulating in the cold, and cool and breathable when it's warm.
- Wool breathes naturally. When compared to other natural fibers as well as synthetics such as polyester, you'll discover that wool offers unmatched breathability and comfort.
- Wool is hypoallergenic, so when encased in all-natural cotton coverings, people with even the most sensitive skin, including those with fibromyalgia, can enjoy the soothing benefits.
- Wool is a sustainable, ecologically-friendly resource. Unlike the impact of harvesting other natural bedding materials such as down, sheep continue to live long healthy, happy lives.
- Plus, since wool is naturally flame-resistant, you can always feel safe knowing that you and your loved ones will always be safe. Even if you hold a match to wool, it will self extinguish in moments.
- In addition, wool has an unmatched natural resilience - holding its crimp and loft longer than any other filling.
- And, since wool regulates your body's temperature, you never sweat AND since it wicks away moisture and dries extremely quickly, it naturally doesn't provide an environment for dust mites to live in.
With wool, you're assured that you'll never be too hot or too cold.
