You may recognize Sleep Number from the evenings you’ve stayed up watching infomercials while splayed out in your antiquated coil-spring bed. The company started as an adjustable-position alternative to conventional mattresses; lately, they’ve been rolling out products with built-in technology that claims to help resolve back alignment, snoring, and other issues. With the Sleep Number 360, the newest of the company’s offerings, users can now aim for a sleep experience previously available only to rich oil barons … or people with electric blankets. The bed will use a timer to preheat the foot of the mattress so that your feet will never again have to experience the indignity of being even slightly cold. It’s an unusual feature, but Sleep Number claims to have conducted research indicating that people fall asleep faster when their feet are slightly warmer than usual. The timer used to begin the warming process is connected to the bed’s app, which tracks a sleeper’s bedtime habits and can make adjustments based on that data.
The Sleep Number 360 is expected to become available to consumers sometime this year, with prices to be announced.Yesterday, my acquaintance neighbor stopped by today to offer me his 17″ computer screen as he was getting a new computer.(When you’ve got your house feng shui’d like I do, opportunities are always knocking. 🙂 ) I asked him how his wife was (she has terminal cancer) and he said, “sleeping.” He then added that he needed to get a new heating blanket for the bed because it has been so cold lately, and she doesn’t like getting into a cold bed. Well, at that point, I could not contain myself. I said, you do know that my job is to create healthy homes for people, right? (He’s an older gent with a Parkinson’s-like shake, so I didn’t want to presume he remembered.) So off I went. “Do you unplug it after you heat up the bed?” “No, but we do turn it off.” I continued, “All I can say is that 100% of my clients who have issues of arthritis, rheumatoid issues and MS have electric or electromagnetic fields (meaning the invisible, “charged-up” field that is often created when electricity is being drawn) where they spend a lot of time – usually in their bed. A
nd 100% of my clients who don’t – don’t.” I then invited him inside so I could go get my Gauss meter (that reads EMF) and my electrical field meter. I showed him that even though a lamp, heating blanket (or other electrical item) is of, it still has an electrical field around it because the electricity is still in the cord all the way up to the switch. And that is any part of your body is in the field, your body is conducting electricity. “Now, here’s how I explain what electrical current does to the body: Electricity causes our cells to vibrate, the vibration causes friction, friction causes heat, and heat causes dryness, and dryness causes stiffness – AKA arthritis.” “Now, if your body is in these fields long term, it doesn’t do such a good job of repairing itself at night (that’s why we sleep), and when it “gets behind,” it tends to shows signs of dis-integration – AKA illness. So, if you spend a lot of time in a massage chair, touching a heating pad, blanket, or have ANYTHING plugged in touching your bed (those sleep number beds maybe???) then you’ve got the potential of sleeping in these fields. Y
ou also have a possibility of sleeping in these fields if there is something plugged in on the other side of your headboard wall. (There are actually other ways that I could go on and on with, but I think you get the idea.) He then asked for my advice, and of course I told him I’d be glad to run over when she woke up to test the bed area. Hopefully, once she feels better after her chemo treatment, he’ll take me up on it. So, what does this have to do with you? I’d like to hear from you. Do you have arthritis, MS or some other disease in this “family?” If so, do you know if you spend a lot of time in electromagnetic fields? Do you use a heating blanket, pad, massage chair, spa tub, have radiant floor heating, fluorescent lighting, or otherwise spend a lot of time around electricity and items with electrical motors (even hair blowdryers have big EMF fields!) If you do, I’d love to know how you’re holding up! The ChiliPad™ Cube is a mattress pad with a cooling and heating temperature control system.

Why You Need To Improve Your Sleep A good night’s sleep helps you correctly store your memories and think clearly the following day. Research shows that sleep helps dieters lose more fat, while those that are sleep deprived lost more muscle mass. A lack of sleep leaves individuals irritable and also affects one’s overall stress level. Bottom line: more sleep, less stress. Preparing for your day with a good night’s sleep is incredibly important because it has the potential to lower your risk of injury.

How Important are Mattress Accessories? Consider the following facts: After just one year, your pillows lose support and can accumulate millions of dust mites. For optimum sleep health, it’s recommended you replace your pillow once a year. A mattress protector prevents spills and mattress stains, and it also protects your mattress from collecting body oils. Box spring protectors can prevent costly and unhealthy bed bug infestations. Contoured support systems – like the Tempur-Curve Pillow – help you obtain a natural posture…and consequently, a superior night’s sleep!
