The Importance of Sleep in O'Fallon MO

The first week of March is sleep awareness week so I wanted to share some information about sleep with you.  Sleep in O'Fallon MO is an extremely important part of a healthy lifestyle.  Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep each night.  Sleep is so important because while we are asleep, our bodies are recovering and repairing any damage from our day.

Getting Better Sleep in O'Fallon MO

Chiropractic can help with getting a good night's sleep.  Chiropractic helps to take pressure off the spinal column which allows the nervous system to function more optimally.  Because the nervous system controls everything in the body, a properly functioning nervous system will help to improve sleep.  There are two other tips for getting a good night's sleep.  1) Use a good pillow that supports the natural shape of your neck.  2) Sleep on a firm mattress.  A firm mattress supports the spine and helps the body to get better rest.
