2. Deep Sleep Critical for Anti-Viral Immunity
Studies reveal different stages of deep sleep which affect bodily restoration and growth. REM sleep is key for new learning, memory and performance, while slow-wave sleep releases natural immune-system modulators which increase the body’s anti0viral resistance. Thus, uninterrupted sleep is critical to avoid any hindrances during the deep sleep cycle. All our products have been designed with this aim in mind. We have achieved minimal sleep motion transfer with our coil construction, foundational support and many other product innovations that aid in the process of bodily rejuvenation.

4. Sleep Tips
For Teens:
Get Adequate Sleep

  • Get close to ten hours sleep a night to be fully alert during the day. Even seven or eight hours would be a vast improvement over the situation that commonly exist for most adolescents.

Establish A Regular Sleep/Wake Schedule

  • Choose a reasonable bedtime that will permit adequate nocturnal sleep, then keep a regular sleep-wake schedule on school nights and weekend nights. A standardized schedule across the week will actually reduce the busy teenager’s total time needed for adequate sleep.

Limit Your Time In Bed

  • Go to bed only for that period of time you usually need for sleep, and sleep only until refreshed. Staying in bed too long will promote shallow and disturbed overall sleep.

For Travellers:
Planning Your Flight

  • Start to preset your biological clock five days before you leave. If flying east, start going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. If flying west, stay up later and get up later. During Your Flight
  • As soon as you sit down on your flight, chance your watch time to the time of your destination and begin living by that time – acclimatizing yourself to that time zone.
  • Drink lots of water and juices to counter dehydration from the dry cabin atmosphere. Dehydration can retard the process of resynchronizing your biological clock with destination time.

For Everyone:

  • Try to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep
  • Try to take 20mins to 45mins of nap if one cannot have enough sleep
  • Stick to a go-to-bed time and wake-up time
