WHY SLEEP IS IMPORTANT:

• We spend ⅓ of our lives sleeping, so it's critical for health.
• The body restores and repairs itself during sleep.
• Good sleep also supports your memory.

HOW TO CREATE A BETTER ENVIRONMENT:

• Make sure your room is cool and quiet.
• Get the proper mattress for your alignment.
• Block out noise and light.
• No tv or electronics in the bedroom.
• The bedroom should be for sleep.
• Comfortable and soothing colors.
• Hot showers, massage and warm beverages/hot water (non-caffeinated) are great before bed.
• Tracy suggested blue light cancelling glasses. 

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MATTRESS/PILLOW:

• For youngsters, the mattress requirements aren't as important- but it's important they're cool.
• Philip recommends mattress protectors for health.
• 80 percent of the sleeping population are side sleepers, and side sleeping creates the most pressure points. It's important for side sleepers to get the correct firmness.
• Philip recommends mattresses with zoning technology.
• Mattresses should last 8 years.
• If you have broad shoulders you need a bigger pillow.
• Body pillows are great for support. 
• Philip likes the Snuz mattress, specifically the hybrid bed.

SOCIAL QUESTIONS:

Q: If you have a cooling mattress and put a mattress protector over it, are you negating the benefits?

A: Yes, but they make cooling mattress protectors as well. Also, with the zipper top mattress protector that's available, you can actually unzip and clean without buying a mattress protector.
