Do you struggle to fall asleep? Wake in the wee hours of the morning? Or, are you just plain curious about the different phases of sleep?
Understanding the stages of sleep may illuminate what's happening and why. Think of your sleep cycle as a timeline — with highs, lows and stages in between.
And, remember to get the best quality sleep you can. Sleep Number® smart bed sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night and science proves that quality sleep is vital to your emotional and physical health.*
Like diet and exercise, quality sleep is essential for optimal wellbeing and performance. Because everyone's sleep needs are different, Sleep Number® smart beds sense your movements and automatically adjust firmness, comfort and support to keep you both sleeping comfortably. Find your Sleep Number® setting for your best possible night's sleep, and if you own a Sleep Number® smart bed, log in to your Sleep Number® Rewards account to see your exclusive offers, refer friends and more.
