Common Sleep Disturbances-Bed Bugs

Aside from the very many sleep disturbances that can occur we will talk about one that has been getting many people irritated lately. Largely because it is small and can travel far distances and likes to settle in your mattress and bedding.

What I am talking about is bed bugs. I recently got back from a business trip and brought back these pesty creatures. Even though I stayed in a good hotel, I guess it didn’t matter. I have been suffering from sleep problems ever since. We tried to avoid getting an exterminator to do a fumigation because of the horror stories we have heard and the huge bills people had to pay to get rid of them. To get rid of the bed bugs I did a lot of online research and got a plan together to tackle the issue at hand.

What Is Sleep-Why Does It Happen

Sleep is a widespread biological phenomenon. Every living organism sleeps at some point. Average time for daily sleep for humans is about 8 hours a day however this time varies from mammal to mammal. Even though we all know what is sleep because we experience it every night there is marked progress is being made in answering three fundamental questions: what is sleep, what are its mechanisms and what are its functions. Sleep is an essential part of our lives. Our bodies collapse with fatigue unless we sleep enough hours every day. Sleep is necessary for a healthy and balanced life. We need to sleep long enough and well enough to function well during waking hours.

Why Proper Sleep Essential For Your Health

Proper sleep is absolutely necessary for the normal function of the body. Sleep disturbances can have significant and serious consequences. Proper Sleep is tied to an immune system response known as fever response. Our body is set to combat illness and infections through this response but if it doesn’t have the proper sleep, the fever response is not properly initiated when needed. Proper sleep is absolutely essential to maintaining good health and well-being. A good night's sleep lets your body relax and heal from the day's stresses and activities.
