On more than one occasion, you've probably had a very busy day juggling work and family matters. And when night falls, all you want to do is get into bed and sleep until dawn .
But maybe your sleep wasn't what you expected, and your pillow could be to blame. Why? It's important to consider its firmness and your sleeping preferences.
Did you know that a human being could die from lack of sleep before starvation? It would take two weeks to die from starvation, compared to 10 days without sleep.
It's clear: when it comes to rest, comfort is the most important thing . Therefore, a pillow that offers the firmness you need is vital. But, with so many options,
What is the best pillow for sleeping?
Before determining which is the best, we should ask ourselves about our sleeping habits.
Sleep is much more than just getting into bed and waking up the next day. It involves an entire process that involves the following aspects:
-
Sleep Stages : During sleep, the body goes through four to six stages. The first four stages feature non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, while the last stage features rapid eye movement (REM), considered the most important.
-
Mattress condition : You need to take into account its quality, whether it has been turned recently, and how long it has been used.
-
Sleep preferences : Some people sleep on their backs, others on their stomachs, others on their sides… This means they need a special pillow. The same goes for those who suffer from sleep apnea or snore.
-
Pillow : Precisely because of the above, there are various options on the market for resting according to these criteria. They can also help align your back and neck, prevent twisting, and, of course, provide support for your head.
So, which pillow should you choose based on its firmness?
The firmness of a pillow may be more crucial for a restful sleep than you might think. It's estimated that people who sleep 6 to 7 hours a night live longer.
