Better Night Sleep Giveaway

The importance of creating a safe, non-toxic bedroom

We spend a third of our lives in our bedrooms. Young children spend nearly half of their day sleeping in the bedroom. Dr. Neil B. Kavey, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City explains, "Sleep is the time when the body does most of its repair work; muscle tissue is rebuilt and restored." He adds, "We know, for example, that a growth hormone is secreted during sleep. This hormone is important for growth in children, but is also important throughout adulthood in rebuilding tissues."

In order to create a safe, non-toxic haven for your body to rejuvenate and heal every night, environmental health physicians recommend that your bedroom be free of as many synthetic chemicals and allergens as possible. To make the biggest difference in detoxifying your bedroom, zero in on two key areas: your mattress and bedding. Most mattresses are made with synthetic chemicals including polyurethane foam (a petroleum-based material), chemical flame retardants, heavy metals, polyester, and vinyl (PVC). Conventional cotton bedding is grown with the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers that contain carcinogenic, toxic materials.
