ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT…
The facts: tens of millions of people in Europe regularly wake up with no energy, which means they can't function properly. Recent European studies have shown that 40% of Europeans regularly sleep poorly, and that 10 to 15% need medical aid to remedy their chronic sleep problems*. The causes of these sleep disorders can generally be divided into two main categories:
- The first category: stress, psychological and physical problems, and poor lifestyle. A nervous character, stress at work, back ache, worrying about difficult family circumstances or financial problems, can all disturb your sleep. Just as bad habits such as drinking coffee or alcohol before going to sleep or eating too late do.
- The second category of sleep-disrupting causes: environmental factors in the bedroom. Disturbing noise, too much light, too hot or too cold, but also a poor sleep system such as too hard a mattress, a worn mattress, a mattress with inadequate moisture balance,...
Conclusion: A good sleep system is essential if we want to go through life alert and cheerful! Innergetic offers the solution and guarantees an ideal night's rest. Surf on and discover all the benefits of your Innergetic sleeping technology.

TO TURN OR NOT TO TURN
In recent years, there has been lively controversy in the bedding industry. There are players on the market who claim that the quality of the night's rest improves significantly when the mattress (core) limits the number of overnight body movements. Other component suppliers and mattress manufacturers claim that the natural body movements during sleep must not be hindered by the mattress (core). ‘To turn or not to turn, that's the question’. Who's right? We posed the question to two European authorities in the field of sleep research.
Prof. Dr. Raymond Cluydts (Free University of Brussels, Department for Cognitive and Biological Psychology) “Despite what many people think, sleep is not passive: body and mind continue to be fairly active. We have to be able to move freely. Otherwise we wake up the next morning with painful muscles and joints, and it is difficult to remain fresh and alert during the day.”
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Zulley (Head of the Medical Sleep Research Centre at the University of Regensburg) "Night movements during sleep must be possible and healthy sleepers change their physical posture up to 60 times a night.”
So, undoubtedly, the ability to change position without obstruction is an essential precondition of a revitalising sleep.
