SLEEP SCIENCE BY SLEEP THERAP

🧠 1. The Science of Sleep: What Really Happens When You Close Your Eyes

Discover what your brain and body do while you sleep — and how the right mattress can enhance deep sleep and recovery.

💤 The Hidden World of Sleep

Every night, your body and mind embark on one of nature’s most essential journeys — sleep. It’s not simply rest; it’s a biological repair process guided by rhythm, hormones, and brain waves. When you close your eyes, your brain begins cycling through four stages of sleep: light, deep, and REM.

🌙 The Four Stages of Sleep

Stage 1 – Light Sleep: Your body relaxes, heartbeat slows, and muscles loosen.
Stage 2 – Stabilization: Brain waves slow, body temperature drops.
Stage 3 – Deep Sleep: Also called “slow-wave sleep,” this is when your body repairs tissues, builds muscle, and strengthens your immune system.
Stage 4 – REM Sleep: Dreams occur here — vital for emotional regulation and memory consolidation.

🧬 Why It Matters

Each stage plays a unique role. Without deep sleep, you wake up tired. Without REM, you feel emotionally drained. Both are affected by comfort, temperature, and spinal alignment — the very science behind Sleep Therapy’s mattress technology.

🛏️ The Role of Your Mattress

Research shows that mattress firmness, material, and temperature regulation directly influence deep sleep duration. A mattress that supports natural spinal curvature reduces muscle tension and promotes uninterrupted rest.
