Ever wondered what your favorite sleep position says about your personality — or your health? Reader’s Digest asked Somnium and other sleep experts to chime in. Nighttime movement reveals more about you than you think. You may not be running marathons during the day, but at night we are all much more active than conventional wisdom … Read more
We once knew a Division I volleyball coach who said: “Legs pay the bills.”
In between countless sets of squats, leg extensions and leg sled reps lied the key to success… along with hours of running, jump roping and sprinting.
There’s no doubt that resistance training and aerobic exercise are very important factors in an athlete’s physical performance. Who doesn’t love the weight room, the suicide sprints and the tailored diets? They work.
Left out of that equation: the role of sleep.
We recently found this question on Quora where reader Michael Rasmussen contemplated the question and added: “The only references I find are tied to mattress manufactures and sellers. Their interests and mine are not aligned.” We wanted to help him out: We understand your reservations, but how is this for an independent opinion: The University … Read more
In the opinion of America’s parents, sleep is what keeps them and their children sane. The 2014 Sleep in America: Sleep in the Modern Family poll revealed that parents agree that sleep is the motherload of calm and the fatherland of rest. More than 90% of the 1,103 parents surveyed in the study said sleep was either very important or extremely important in their lives and the lives of their little ones.
Like we’ve said before, we’re a curious lot at Somnium. Between developing amazingly awesome beds and telling the world about them, we like to ponder seemingly insignificant matters of the English language. Today, we’re taking you on a verbal nerd-journey about sleepisms.
The clock is ticking; just ask the zebrafish.
Doctors at Tel Aviv University have discovered that the zebrafish’s circadian rhythms, the internal timepiece by which your body regulates (among other things) when you sleep and when you wake up, are very similar to those of humans.
We’ve got to hand it to you, memory foam. You’ve made everyone believe you’re the savior of sleep. Thousands are crawling into bed with you.
We don’t like the status quo (if you haven’t noticed). We believe memory foam is a thing of the past, just like metal coils. The future of high-performance sleep is gently balanced on our patented elastomer springs.
We think soy is a big deal.
Sure, we enjoy the occasional soy latte, that’s not what we’re talking about. If you could put a chunk of our mattress foam under a microscope, you’d find that a whole lot of soy molecules and not a lot of the crazy chemicals you’d find in other mattresses.
Those little towels at your gym aren’t the only things that know what it’s like to pass the time soaking up sweat.
Your mattress has a front row seat to all that perspiration. Imagine the germs, dirt and grime that collect under your Egyptian cotton. Nobody wants that lurking between the sheets.
We decided our beds should be an elevated piece of performance equipment that turns the mattress experience upside-down. So, instead of ignoring the surly subject of sweat, we attacked it head-on.
