Wrongly Diagnosed Insomnia

Posted: August 12th, 2010 by PSBC Admin

Reports have suggested that people who are having trouble sleeping at night may be being wrongly diagnosed as having insomnia.

Carolyn Schur, a fatigue management specialist at the Associated Sleep Services explains that coming to the correct conclusion is crucial.

Miss. Schur explains that sleep difficulties can be due to stress, trauma or abuse, she adds that doctors “tend to deal with insomnia as though it was one entity”

She goes on to explain “We’re starting to understand that the symptoms of not being able to sleep, not being able to stay asleep, and waking early are the criteria by which you diagnose insomnia.”

Sleeping Boosts Brain Power

Posted: June 11th, 2010 by PSBC Admin

Dozing off in bed after learning new information may improve performance, new research has suggested.

Going to bed straight after learning new information can improve the ability to retain the information according to a recent study.

Experts at Havard Medical School documented that participants in their study who dreamt about a computer maze that they were shown performed well when encouraged to navigate around it on wakening.

Robert Stickgold, who published the paper stated “We think that the dreams are a marker that the brain is working on the same problem at many levels.

“The dreams might reflect the brain’s attempt to find associations for the memories that could make them more useful in the future.”

The solution: Zip & Link

Posted: April 27th, 2010 by PSBC Admin

At Pocket Spring Bed Company we have been working hard to find a solution to the problem of partner disturbance. The more comfortable that a person is, the less likely they are to toss & turn through the night. We are positive that you will find a Pocket Spring Bed Company bed that is supremely comfortable.

However, comfort is very subjective, one partner’s ideal mattress may be too firm or soft for the other. It only takes one partner to start tossing & turning and neither party end up having a good night’s sleep.

The solution: Zip & Link. Both partners can choose a different level of tension to suit their preferences. The two sides are then seamlessly zipped together so the entire sleeping surface can be used.

The Zip & Link has been recommended by Country Homes & Interiors magazine.

Sharing a Bed is Bad for Your Health

Posted: April 12th, 2010 by PSBC Admin

New research carried out by Dr. Neil Stanley of the University of Surrey, suggests that couples who share a bed have a worse nights sleep than people who sleep alone. Partners disturb one another in their sleep by snoring, teeth grinding, tossing and turning or taking more than their fair share of the duvet.

Prior to the industrial revolution, it was uncommon for couples to share a bed. And the concept was only introduced to most families as a space saving exercise.

Dr Stanley noted that a standard 4′ 6″ double bed leaves each adult with 9” less than a child enjoys in a single bed.

If you suffer from partner disturbance it is advisable to choose the biggest bed possible. Pocket Spring Bed Company Beds are available in 5′ King Size and 6′ Super King Size.
