Sleep Right, Sleep Tight
Your mother’s nagging to make your bed turns out to be healthy advice.
A National Sleep Foundation survey reveals that folks who make their bed daily are more likely to get a good night’s sleep than people who don’t make their beds. And change your sheets weekly.
Allergens that disrupt sleep can build up in your sheets. They also can build in your pillow so you should change it every couple of years. Or use two pillows and alternate them every month or so.

Sleep On It
An experiment conducted by German scientists showed that a good night’s sleep improves the
ability to solve problems, according to an AARP Bulletin report.
Researchers set up a number of puzzles and gave the subjects two ways to solve them. The
subjects were divided into three groups. One group was allowed to sleep for eight hours after receiving the instructions. The second group stayed awake, and the third was given instructions in the morning after sleeping eight hours.
By a two-to-one margin, the subjects who slept eight hours after getting instructions came up
with a third way to solve the problems more quickly. The researchers suggest that during a good
night’s sleep the “brain rearranges recent memories, a process that can lead to insight and new
knowledge.” |
