Hey Scarlet-

Hey there! The best way to know is to try it and write down your results in a journal to see if it's making a difference. Log the results for a week- (how long it's taking you to fall asleep, what time you are falling asleep, etc).

Hi Andy- short answer is it could be either. Blood restriction causes the tingling feeling when blood flow returns. Pinched nerves can also cause a similar feeling. A proper mattress/sleep system should relieve this.

FYI. This is an (older) but interesting resource from Harvard Medical School on getting a good night's rest. One of Luke's favorite reads:

Hey Kyle- that is a tough one but one we hear often. Exercise and diet are where I would focus. I know those are not easy solutions, but losing weight can help you sleep better and breathe better. There are mouth guards that may work, but we do not have much experience with them. A dentist might be able to help as…

Not sure on a product recommendation - truth is that my experience is largely limited to airline masks which are rarely comfortable. I expect your wife is also being affected by the TV but may not know it, would an experimental week without it just before bed be on the cards? If not, weems like this $10 mask on Amazon…

I would recommend that you consult a doctor as soon as possible. Stress can have a huge impact on your life and health, and impacting sleep is one of the ways stress can negatively impact things.

Given that we are in the mattress business, we recommend often ;). The industry average is replacing a bed every 7-8 years, but technology and materials have dramatically improved. If your sleep quality starts to suffer, the mattress is a likely culprit. We also recommend getting the biggest mattress your living space…

Have you tried exercise during the day or changes to your diet? Make sure you are not eating near bed time. I would cut off caffeine in the afternoon/evening.

You definitely don't want to become dependent on any of these. Advil pm and benadryl can fast become crutches that lead to lingering sleep problems. With regards to sleep quality, the effect of any medication is to alter the body's natural cycles, which is rarely favorable in any long term tradeoff. This is an oldie…

With regard to medication, you should always consult your doctor. Prescription and over the counter remedies can help you get a good night sleep, but the side effects you mentioned are very common. A doctor can help you adjust the amounts or recommend other solutions based on how your body is responding to certain…

To stay asleep, there are no silver bullets. If the temperature in the room changes, that will impact your ability to stay asleep. Exercise will help you stay asleep longer. Diet can also be a big factor.

That is perfectly normal as you get older. It is hard to solve. Controlling the sleep environment is important. Avoiding things like the AC coming on and off. Avoiding drinking lots of liquids before bed can help. If you have pets, they can interrupt a good night of sleep. So can the tossing and turning of a bed…

Yes there is a lot of evidence to suggest that screens do affect sleep and should be minimized in the last 45 mins prior to slumber. Most of the research points to blue light being the major culprit. Harvard Med has a good, readable article which I'll post at the bottom of this. If you are using a computer, you might…

We definitely do recommend a sleep tracker. While it will not be the panacea to your sleep ailments, it will make sure that sleep stays top of mind and that you are doing everything you can to maximize the quality of your sleep.

There is a lot of literature on this. some of it says less than 20 minutes is optimum. Lifehacker actually had a post on this here: http://lifehacker.com/how-long-to-na…

It is not true. Sleeping on either side works just fine, and many sleepers rotate sides throughout the night.

There are a number of things you could try to help increase how fast you fall asleep. Exercise during the day can make a big difference, but you should avoid it right before bed as it does get the heart rate up. Caffeine after 2p should be avoided. Blue light emitted by cell phones and laptops should be avoided before…

We have worked with a variety of the "quantified sleep" tools and found that they work to varying degrees of success. In general, anything that gets you thinking about sleep is a good thing in our opinion. None of them have a super high level of consistency and accuracy, but you generally do not need a super high…

The way you sleep is definitely unique to the individual. There are a number of tips you can do to help increase the chances of you falling asleep, but nothing guarantees it. Some people just need to wind down. Here is a list of 7 tips that Arianna Huffington put together:
