Why should you try an Adjustable Bed?
You may have experienced restless nights — tossing and turning for hours — when no sleep position feels comfortable enough. Waking up in the middle of the night with pins and needles in your arms and legs is a common complaint. If you’re searching for that elusive comfort that allows you to fall asleep easier and stay asleep, an adjustable bed might be the perfect solution.
----------------------
There are numerous benefits of sleeping in an adjustable bed:
1) For individuals who snore or who have sleep apnea, a more inclined position can be beneficial and, in some cases, curative.
2) For individuals with heartburn, a bed that inclines can prevent reflux at night and improve sleep quality.
3) A reclined posture can be orthopedically more favourable to people with a variety of conditions. Shoulder injuries (e.g. rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, etc.) and those recovering from related surgeries tend to be much more comfortable in a reclined position.
4) For people who work in bed, an adjustable base can create less back pain and neck strain.
5) The elevation of the legs is equally beneficial.
6) Elevating the legs is a great way to reduce swelling, in general. It's a great way to recover after a long run. For individuals with edema or venous insufficiency, it can be very important to elevate the legs.
7) Elevating the legs can also be helpful for some people with Restless Legs Syndrome.
😎 Elevating your legs also takes the pressure off the lumbar spine and can improve back pain/sciatica in some cases.
9) Adjustable bases can help some individuals get out of bed easier.

The Occupational Therapist Appreciation Program (OTAP) exists to acknowledge the ongoing contributions made by occupational therapists to the Australian community.

If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes of going to bed, sleep experts recommend getting up! Instead of tossing and turning in bed, it’s better to get up, do something relaxing in a quiet and dim setting (without using your mobile or other electronic devices), and then try to go back to bed. It’s important to associate your bed with sleep. Staying in bed while struggling to sleep can do the exact opposite, linking your bed with a feeling of frustration.

While a quick nap can provide a boost of energy, it’s not a substitute for quality sleep. Napping doesn’t involve moving through the stages of sleep in the same way as during night sleeping.
Many people who get insufficient sleep try to use naps to catch up on sleep, but this often just throws their sleep schedule further out-of-whack by making it harder to fall asleep at a normal bedtime.

How did you sleep?

Studies have shown that the timing of sleep matters. It’s best to sleep as much as possible during hours of darkness. Sleeping at night helps align the body’s circadian rhythm (internal clock) with its environment. Proper circadian timing is important for sleep quality and affects mental health, cardiovascular function, metabolism, and other key elements of overall health.
