    A human body needs sleep for brain restoration, physical restoration, growth in metabolism, drains toxins out of the body, enhances memory, heals the body and improves blood circulation and many more. So, basically a human body needs more than 8 hours of sleep according to the age constraints for a seriously healthier life. Lack of sleep leads to many disorders which affect growth, brain, heart and health vigorously. So, sufficient sleep must be a must for everybody.

    Healthy Sleep 

    Healthy food, good exercise and a good physical strain of the body gives us a good quality of sleep. But the stress now-a-days a human take is not satisfactory to produce a healthy sleep. One should prepare a good environment to get a good sleep.

    Sleeping Environment

    Memory Foam Mattresses

    Memory foam mattresses are usually made by a combination of memory foam and springs in a layer. The foam used in it helps to soften the bed and so moulds it to the body shape using the body heat. This enables for a comfortable bed to lay on for a longer time and a good sleep. Now, when the body heat is removed which means when the person is out of bed, the foam gets back to the original size and shape slowly but would memorize the actual body size, body shape and the sleeping position in the rest time. Hence, the foam is termed as Memory Foam.

    “But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
