<\/p>\nThe ability to get adequate amounts of undisturbed sleep will have both an instant and long-term effect on your wellbeing. However, one of the biggest problems affecting this ability is the old, uncomfortable or damaged mattresses many of us are sleeping on. If you\u2019re starting to forget when you bought your mattress, it might be time to throw out the old and invest in a high-quality mattress to improve your overall health.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Snoring is caused when the upper airway passage right at the back of your mouth becomes partially restricted. The best way to prevent snoring is to keep your head and body well supported while you sleep. When mattresses get old they sag as the springs start to go, they get laden down with years of dust and sweat and their initial firmness dissipates. A new, medium-firm mattress will keep your spine well-aligned and evenly distribute your body weight, all of which will help prevent snoring.<\/p>\n
Old mattresses run the risk of becoming a haven for allergens, sweat and dust that trigger allergies. Allergies cause congestion and swelling in the throat, disrupting your sleep and can lead to snoring. An old mattress weighed down with dust can negatively impact asthma sufferers and cause symptoms to worsen. Dust, sweat and allergens are one of the main reasons why it is recommended that mattresses need to be changed every 6 or 8 years.<\/p>\n
The less comfortable you are on your mattress while you try to sleep, the greater the chance that that sleep is disturbed throughout the night. A lack of good, undisturbed sleep adversely affects the part of your brain that controls speed and accuracy. It can also affect your ability to retain information the next day, form new ideas and even pull knowledge together from different parts of the brain.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, the amount and quality of sleep you get can impact your weight. Drowsiness often leads to turning our backs on regular exercise and healthy cooking, which will directly impact your physical health. Studies have confirmed that when you don’t get enough sleep, your levels of leptin (which plays a key role in making you feel full) drop. So, when you\u2019re tired, you think you\u2019re hungrier, which makes you start to crave high-fat and high-calorie foods.<\/p>\n
