THE BUZZ
Tired of Being Tired? Sleep on This A
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder
marked by profound and debilitating fatigue. Symptoms are var- ied—from muscle pain to memory loss—and treatment is often a complex guessing game. While scientists develop a cure in the lab, and doctors coordinate customized treatment programs in the offi ce, there is something you can do in the bedroom: go au naturel. No, we’re not suggesting you ditch your pajamas! Rather, the idea is to invest in an organic mattress. It’s been advised those with CFS choose a mattress that pro- vides good support, but conventional mattresses are a nightmar- ish concoction of oil, polyester, toxins and chemicals, which off-gas while you sleep and do battle with your body. Alterna- tively, organic mattresses are crafted using natural materials, and set the foundation for high quality sleep, night after night. In addition, sleeping with wool regulates body temperature to reduce tossing and turning and keep you in restorative REM sleep longer. Find your just-right organic bed and bedding through an
all-natural source like The Clean Bedroom. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, The Clean Bedroom’s organic mattress specialists are available online, on the phone and in sleep show- rooms in Portland, ME, Kittery, ME, Greenwich, CT, Wellesley, MA, New York, NY, Austin, TX and Santa Monica, CA.
