In this sense, it is advisable to choose a good mattress that allows benefit of all repair processes that occur during sleep stages and can be classified as follows:

The nervous system. Resting helps preserve the integrity of the neural circuitry involved in memory processes and learning.

The immune system. Sleep is involved in many body processes omeostáticos, so sleep strengthens defenses and increases the body’s resistance to disease.

Blood circulation. Like the heart, the circulatory takes less effort than during the day by the autonomic nervous system regulation.

The musculoskeletal system. During phase IV sleep and REM, which gives greater brain activity, there is a complete relaxation of the musculoskeletal system. Muscles, joints and spine are released from the tension accumulated during the day. Furthermore, during the night, regenerating body tissue.

Metabolism. During sleep, decreased energy expenditure and the energy savings is used in internal repair functions. The metabolic rate during sleep is reduced by 10 and 15%.

Heart. During sleep, the heart rate is slower and there is a reduction of stress-related hormones, which are cortisolo, adrenaline and noradrenaline.

At the same time, there is an increase in melatonin, related to sleep and relaxation. Tissues and cells coronary benefit of the remedial action which occurs by the release of growth hormone (GH) and melatonin. In humans, peak GH secretion is observed associated to deep sleep, namely the states III and IV, sy that 70% of GH secretion occurs overnight.

Eyes. Sight deeply rests and regenerates rhodopsin, the light-sensitive pigment. This retrieves the effort made during the day, because jobs that require stare.

Skin. Maybe it’s the fabric that most benefits during sleep. The skin of the face is the area where most reflected the weariness of the day. After a restful sleep, the face regains health and freshness dramatically.

During the night, the skin blood flow increases, so that favors the cellular changes that eliminate toxins accumulated during the day and provide the nutrients necessary for cell recovery.

Brain activity. Has been shown that sleep is essential for mental health, as poor sleep quality is associated with a greater likelihood of depression and increased anxiety and irritability, among other similar disorders.

Sleep also allows to redefine and set learning experiences and lived during the day to make them permanent, crisp memories.

The effect was immediate, with a significant reduction in the noise level, the improvement in the break was a success and made ​​the media would reflect the news and contribute to raising awareness of the problem of noise. The residents of the building have become real experts in health and offer some simple acoustic to lessen the inconvenience to those around us.
