A Good Nights Sleep Can Equal A Better Education

A recent study from the Hasbros Childrens Hospital in America has shown that an extra

thirty minutes in bed could help to improve childrens concentration and therefore their ability to absorb information. A sample of 200 teenagers was asked a series of questions on sleeping habits and the teenagers motivation and quality of sleep were assessed after a delayed start time to the day of half an hour and the results showed that this short time made a big difference.

Teenagers have long been known for their lengthy sleeping habits and parents have been split on whether to let them sleep or try and get them into a routine of waking earlier and making the most of the day but this study may prove that they do in fact need more sleep in order to function as well as the average adult. The study showed a marked improvement in class attendance as well as significant reductions in daytime tiredness and overall fatigue and those surveyed said as a result they did not oversleep to the same extent at the weekends and were getting nearer to eight hours sleep per night than seven.

This extra time in bed however can only be valuable if you sleep well when youre there, in other words if the quality of sleep youre experiencing is good and this is down to a number of different factors. The first and most important of these is your bed frame and mattress, if these are sub standard they may lead to uncomfortable nights sleep and in the long term, back, neck, shoulder and hip problems. Buying a mattress should not be taken lightly, its important to think about the right level of support as well as comfort, a mattress thats too hard or too soft can cause physical pain and a poor quality of sleep.

A bad bed frame can mean a shorter time frame for your mattress, even if your mattress is a good quality one so its worth invested in beds and mattresses together to give yourself the best nights sleep for as many years as possible. To complement your new and improved mattress and bed combination its worth trying out a few pillows as a cheap pillow that gives little to no support can cause neck and back problems as well as breathing issues and snoring and the same goes for having pillows which raise your head up too high and misalign your spine. All these things can adversely affect not only the quality of sleep you get but also healthy growth in children and teenagers so its definitely worth putting the effort into finding the best and looking online means youre bound to get a good deal on the one you want.
