The Benefits of Rest
Hurd & Honey
We all know that rest is important, but it's seems that we tend to place a greater emphasis on nutrition and exercise. Before we rest our heads in the evening we want to be sure that we have consumed enough phytochemicals. Ironically, if we're not resting enough, our bodies are unable to function well, which results in greater fat storage. Perhaps the extra trips to the gym aren't benefiting us if we're not sleeping enough.

Sterling Sleep Waterbed Collection has several mattress options that will support better rest, and the beds we choose is necessary first step to better rest. It's also important to create an environment conducive to rest: remove technology, use warm lighting or darken the room, sleep when it's dark, use essential oils, drink a cup of hot tea before bed, read before bed, etc.
