Having a restful sleep each night is integral to maintaining optimal wellbeing. If the number of good night's sleep you have is few and far between, you may benefit from upgrading your current bed to an electric version. They offer a breadth of advantages that can boost your overall health. In this post, we'll point out some of the many benefits that people can reap from converting to an electric bed.Alleviate aches and painsEveryone experiences aches and pains from time to time, those heading towards their senior years, even more so. People who have a current injury or live with chronic pain can alleviate the discomfort associated with this by adjusting the bed to relieve pressure in certain areas. With the convenience of a remote control, you can manoeuvre the bed until you reach the perfect level of comfort. Your body is supported where it needs to be, and this can help you fall to sleep quicker and have a deeper sleep than you would in a regular bed. You can adjust the angle that your head is right down to your feet.Reduces symptoms aligned with health concerns such as snoring and sleep apneaSnoring is a common issue, and it can be detrimental to the quality of sleep not only you have but your partner if you have one. Snoring is typically the loudest when the sleeper is lying down flat as the weight of the neck compresses the windpipe along with the tissues inside the throat relaxing and narrowing the airway. The narrowed airway makes it harder for air to pass through, and as a result, the tissue vibrates and cause what's known as snoring. By adjusting the resting position at the head, you can relieve some of the pressure on the windpipe, and the severity of the snoring can be minimised. Much like snoring, other breathing concerns such as sleep apnea can be alleviated by sleeping in an elevated position. When airflow isn't as obstructed, it allows the sleeper to have a better nights rest and everyone around them.Helps to lessenArthritis PainThose who live with an arthritic condition such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis often struggle to shift positions while in bed to alleviate pressure on sore areas. An electric bed allows you to distribute your weight evenly and off pressure points with a touch of a button. Rather than tossing and turning for hours on end, you can reposition within a matter of minutes. This enables you to get back to sleep faster, and it can help to keep you in a deep sleep for longer. When you wake in the morning, the electric bed can help to prop you up, making it easier to get out of bed too.Reduce heartburn and reflux symptomsMost can say they've experienced heartburn or reflux at some point, but for those that have chronic ailments such as this can find getting to sleep and staying to sleep troublesome. It can cause extreme discomfort and is proven to cause sleep disturbances. This then has a flow-on effect on how well you function during the day. Sleeping at a slight incline can help to reduce the acid from traveling upwards, and having an electric bed can help you do this with ease.Insomnia Insomnia can be a debilitating condition that can have a negative effect on your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. The thing about insomnia is, there isn't one problem that causes it. It can be brought on by many different factors. Being able to readjust yourself to find the perfect spot can help you to drift off to sleep faster.Promotes independenceAs we age, our bodies don't work as well as they once did, and it is not uncommon to experience stiffness and even limited mobility. Others live with a disability or impacted motions due to an injury. With an increasing number of aging and disabled Aussies choosing to stay in their homes, investing in equipment that can help to promote independence is a must. This allows people to do more for themselves and can minimise how much they have to depend on others to complete basic tasks. An electric bed can make it much easier to get into bed and out of it.Boost circulationAdequate oxygen to the extremities and around the body is crucial for general health and a good night's sleep. By adjusting the bed, you can promote ideal blood flow and boost oxygen to areas that would otherwise be lacking. You can customise the degree to assist with any compromised areas of the body.Aids healthy digestionWhen we go to sleep, this gives our bodies a chance to digest food in the stomach, but it does this best when it's in an upright position. Laying flat on your back after food can inhibit the body's ability to break down and digest food properly. Sleeping slightly elevated can promote optimal digestion during the night.Why keep going through the motions of having a disruptive sleep every night when you don't have to?
