Sleep is the cornerstone of our health, just as essential as a good diet or regular exercise. Its quality and duration have a direct impact on our physical and mental health.
Sleep has a major impact on the immune system. During the night, when we rest, our bodies produce and release cytokines, types of proteins that activate the immune system to fight infections and inflammation. Thus, sleep deprivation can significantly weaken our ability to defend ourselves against illnesses, from the common cold to a more serious medical condition.
Sleep also plays a key role in preventing chronic diseases. Studies show that sleep deprivation can increase the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and obesity.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and sleep is fundamental to it. Quality sleep helps regulate mood hormones such as serotonin and dopamine, which directly affects our overall psychological well-being. Lack of sleep can lead not only to fatigue and reduced ability to concentrate, but also to increased irritability and anxiety.
Current research points to an alarming link between chronic sleep deprivation and increased symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders and even dementia. Specifically, a recent study from Harvard Medical School found that people who sleep less than five hours per night have a 15% higher risk of developing mental health problems.
The Magnum ONLINE EDITION continental bed offers a combination of high comfort and support, which is essential for regenerative sleep. This bed is equipped with a multi-layer high mattress that includes foam that adapts to the contours of the body and a system of pocket springs that distribute the pressure evenly over the entire surface.
Compared to traditional mattresses, which tend to be too soft, a quality Majesty Premium mattress provides an ideal balance between comfort and support. A firmer mattress promotes good posture while sleeping, which is crucial for preventing back and joint pain.
The correct firmness of the mattress depends on personal preference and physical condition. In general, firmer mattresses may be better supportive of the spine, while softer mattresses may be more comfortable for sleeping on your side. The Majesty Premium hard mattress can thus be supplemented with a soft latex top mattress, the so-called topper, which softens the entire sleeping area and better encloses the hips and shoulders.
Thus, investing in a quality bed and mattress can be a key step in improving sleep quality and overall health.
