Sleep has never been better. Bed has never been more comfortable. Waking up has never been harder.
I was recently introduced to the 8th wonder of the world, Memory Foam.
At first it was just another bedroom addition but it slowly turned into an undeniable force of habit.
My alarm clock was set for 8 am. Both eyes opened right on time. My refreshed, sober body was ready for the day ahead.
I felt paralyzed. I laid motionless for three hours without any concern for the outside world. Before I knew it, my life was forever changed. Memory Foam=Miracle Foam.
What is memory foam?
A Polyurethane based combination of chemicals added together to form the most powerful source of comfort.
Created in 1966, by Nasa, to improve the safety of aircraft cusions.
First sold by a Swiss company, Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress
Why is it crucial to the well being of America?
Memory foam has an open cell structure that reacts to body heat and weight by 'moulding' to your body, helping relieve pressure points, preventing pressure sores, etc.
Everybody needs to sleep. The world-renown Mayo Clinic in Cleveland states that the adult body should sleep 7-8 hours a night.
Caution:
Memory Foam is the second leading cause of obesity in American adults, just a few percentage points behind Hardee's.
There have been some reported cases of people sleeping for 140+ hours at a time.
Too much napping can actually lead to a strange disorder called African Potbelly Disease. However, less than 60% of memory foam snoozers end up with this disorder.
Nonetheless, Memory Foam is the definition of a life changer. From putting back on that holiday ham straight fat 7 lbs, to skipping whatever daily requirements may be in order, to unfairly convincing yourself that you are a "sleep scientist," memory foam has a special role for everyone.
Try it, I dare you!
