Study Determines the Quietest and Loudest Locations in America

The team at NapLab created a study revolving around noise levels and their effects on sleep. The team used information on decibel ratings to determine the loudest and quietest places to sleep in the United States. Lower decibel ratings mean better sleep quality and higher ratings mean it will be harder for many people to fall asleep.

Different Bedding Choices for Better Sleep

While changing out one’s bedding isn’t in everyone’s immediate future, it is an inevitability. Eventually things wear down, or life conditions change, and fortunately, there are more options now than ever. Here are just a few examples of the ways in which bedding can vary. 


Bedding material is one of the first things people tend to gravitate towards. The difference between linen, polyester, and silk sheets are admittedly pretty drastic. Silk is light and airy but expensive, linen breaks down but is extremely soft, and polyester is cheap but inefficient. There are options even beyond these though, all having various ups and downs. 


Beyond material there comes threat count, ply, weave, and even staple length. These are all extremely minute criteria but can make a difference in the long term. For example, a high thread count leaves bedding lasting far longer than average. It’s the biggest determinant of durability in one’s bedding. Weave can also help to shape the durability as well as softness of one’s sheets.

Sleeping During Your Period

The menstrual cycle is something that women just can't escape from. For most females who have hit puberty, menstruation lasts for around 5 days to 7 days. The entire period is usually 7 days, while bleeding can even be as less as 3 days. Menstruating women may find both their mental and physical health getting effected due to bleeding and everything that comes along with it.

 There are many side effects of being on your period, but it is important to remember that the intensity of bleeding and its impact is not the same for every female. In fact, not all females experience pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) either. The PMS actually happens right before the period starts and can include symptoms such as headaches, constipation as well as other symptoms which can lead to sleeping and appetite disturbances.

How Sleep, Or Lack Thereof, Affects Your Body
COVID-19 has caused many things about people’s lives to be thrown into disarray with the wild amounts of stress and problems it has brought. One of these major problems is with sleep as, during the COVID-19 pandemic, sleep problems are at an all-time high. But even before the pandemic hit, over ¾ of American adults were not getting the proper amount of sleep.

Sleep is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic as, during sleep, your body performs many tasks to help keep your immune system functioning smoothly. One of these functions is while sleeping, white blood cells in your body accumulate and fight off antigens that have been trapped by lymphatic tissues during the day. Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, reduces inflammatory responses in your body. These bursts can be good in small bursts and sleep can help reduce levels of cortisol, keeping it in check.
