This is a concept that most people already now — sleep reduces stress as it helps the body recharge and restore well being. But with today’s very busy lifestyle, it is easy to disregard and apply this to our day to day activities. Do people really see the significance of sleep?
A research by the Tempur-Pedic’s Wellness Advisory Board says that most adults still acknowledge the importance of sleep. As this report says:
Regardless of whether American adults are actually taking their own advice, they overwhelmingly understand that sleep is every bit as important to their health as proper exercise and nutrition. The survey found that American adults believe sleep (42%) more so than exercise (39%) and far more than nutrition (19%) does the most to restore their sense of well-being
The research further discovered that:
- Sleep is the first choice of Americans in their wellness regimen: one and a half times more than proper diet and two times more than exercise.
- Three out of four Americans (76%) say a good night’s sleep makes them feel younger. Women are more likely to say this than are men.
- A pillow is America’s favorite sleep accessory – and it is nine times more important for a good night’s sleep than a sleep partner.
- Nine out of ten Americans (91%) consider the investment they made in their mattress to be an investment in their well-being.
- Americans spend about as much on their mattress as they do their sofa (36%) or their television (34%). Nearly two out of ten (17%) equate their mattress spending to what they spent on their vacation.
