"There are two kinds of resolutions," says Dr. Richard A. Friedman, a New York-based psychoanalyst. "Some are very specific, such as losing ten pounds or quitting smoking. Others are more qualitative, and therefore harder to measure, like spending more time at home, getting more sleep, etc." "People can have just as much trouble attaining a specific goal as one that is harder to measure. Most people know how to act, they know the difference between right and wrong, and struggle constantly between the two. A New Year provides a good time to reflect and remind oneself to aspire to an ideal," Dr. Friedman explains. "Remember, what's important isn't achieving perfection, but beginning the process of reminding yourself that you can do better," Dr. Friedman adds. "The New Year is a wonderful time to start over, with a fresh, clean slate. This year, we're not only celebrating the start of a New Year, but of a new Millennium. What better time to resolve to do something healthy for yourself, like getting a good night's sleep?" says David McIlquham, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sealy, Inc., the largest mattress manufacturer in North America. "Getting a better night's sleep is one way to solve a host of problems. What could be better than waking up refreshed and ready to seize the day? By simply getting a new mattress, you may alleviate little aches and pains that you've been attributing to getting older," adds McIlquham. "The start of the new Millennium is a perfect time to buy a new mattress. The past few years have brought about tremendous advances in technology. Most people don't realize how bad their mattress really is until they start shopping around and testing the latest models," McIlquham continues. "If your mattress is eight to 10 years old, chances are it's time for a change, and with it the likelihood of improved sleep." According to the experts at Sealy, a quality innerspring mattress and foundation is one of the most important purchases an individual can make. Studies show that the proper innerspring mattress and foundation create less tension, strain and muscle fatigue in the lower back, providing a better night's sleep and allowing you to wake up refreshed. In fact, more orthopedic surgeons sleep on a Sealy Posturepedic(R) than any other mattress brand. "One thing to remember when shopping for a new mattress is, contrary to popular belief, a firm mattress may not be the best for your back," McIlquham says. "However, the plushest mattress may not be right either. It all depends on the construction and support of the mattress." Also important to the feel of the mattress is the foundation or boxspring. If you think you can recycle your existing foundation, think again. "A mattress' useful life can be reduced by up to 35% that way," says McIlquham. Many stores allow you to take a mattress home for a 30-day comfort test because the true test of a better night's sleep is personal preference. If not satisfied, you may trade it for another. Once you have an improved sleeping surface, you'll find getting a better night's sleep is a great way to start the new Millennium, for both you and those around you.
