Sleep deprivation is the number one reason for common aches and pains, and can also be a contributor to mood swings and general agitation toward others. Your body needs an adequate amount of sleep to repair itself and to recover from the previous day’s events. In fact, the average adult requires 7-8 hours of sleep to function optimally. While people can go days, months or even years with less than optimal sleep, doing so eventually takes its toll on your body. Think of the last time you pulled an “all nighter” and how bad you felt the next morning. A common reason for sleep deprivation is the use of an uncomfortable mattress, which can promote tossing and turning. A sagging or lumpy mattress can also make it more difficult to fall asleep in the first place. The obvious solution would be to go out and replace your current mattress with something more supportive and comfortable, though this can be an expensive proposition. A more practical solution to your problem would be to purchase a mattress pad.
