Four Tips For Sound Sleep

When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, peace of mind plays an important role. Knowing the people that you love are resting comfortably and, more importantly, resting safely — is the key to achieving a great night’s sleep for everyone in the family. Ashley Sleep, one of the fastest growing mattress brands,  offers four valuable tips that can lead to better sleep.

1. Know what’s in your mattress
While mattresses may look the similar on the outside, not all are created equally. Be sure to find out how your mattress was manufactured and which chemicals are used inside. Ashley Sleep uses state-of-the-art sleep technology like SynTex in every Latex Mattress. Infused with natural seed oil, this process minimizes the use of petrol-based chemical oils — allowing our mattresses to meet or exceed the most rigorous flame-retardancy test. They’re also a more eco-friendly option.

2. Is the foam CertiPUR-US approved?
When choosing a mattress containing polyurethane foam, make sure that the foam inside is CertiPUR-US approved. CertiPUR-US is an independent laboratory testing mattresses agisnt environmental, health and safety guidelines. CertiPUR-US certified foams are made without PBDEs, ozone-depleters, prohibited phthalates, lead, mercury and heavy metals and formaldehyde. They are also certified low-emissions for indoor air quality.

3. Comfort for allergy sufferers
Latex Mattresses are an excellent choice for allergic family members. Latex is a naturally hypoallergenic, renewable and eco-friendly material made from the sap of plantation-grown rubber trees, that’s bacteria, mold, mildew and dust-mite resistant. (Some people are allergic to latex and believe they cannot purchase a latex mattress for this reason. But true allergic reactions to latex are from direct contact. You will never be in direct contact with the latex in the mattress.)

4. Replace pillows often
No matter what kind of pillows you choose, it’s important to replace them about every year or so. Older pillows may contain skin cells, mold, dust mites, mildew and fungus. And no matter how perfect those pillows were when you first purchased them, over time, they will begin to lose their shape and supportive qualities.

How not to spoil family relationships?

Family relationships. Family relationships concern all married couples?

Of course, the family is not given as a supplement to a great and passionate love, it is necessary to form. And this must be learned. And there is no matter in what families grew partners, and what their temperament is. It is important to communicate between them now in a new family.

In this age of rapid speed we terribly busy and always in a hurry. Television fills all of our leisure time, we have less contact with each other. Each is by itself, busy about their business, their thoughts.

And people gather in the evening not to be together, but to talk together, and to watch television together to keep quiet. So begins erode family relationships rust alienation. It becomes poorer everyday spoken language. And this inability to communicate with each other leads to the destruction of the family.

Keep in mind that a lack of communication leads to alienation of the spouses. Communicating, they gradually begin to understand each other better and better. The main elements of a culture of communication are: empathy, tolerance, flexibility, goodwill. And this is not so important topics of conversation, but it is important to hear the person and be heard.

Culture of communication between husband and wife affects the frequency of disagreements and misunderstandings in the family. One of the main reasons for the deterioration of relations acts is an inability of spouses to behave constructively in problem situations.

The main quality in communication is the ability to recognize the value of another, even when the positions do not coincide. Try to understand and accept that tells you your loved one. Maybe it is very important to him now.

Psychologists have rightly argued that conflicting family relationships are usually the result of an elementary self-interest of the spouses, their unwillingness to think about the loved one. Their interests and moods exhibit to the forefront.

The absence of mutual understanding in the family leads to frustration, alienation, to a deterioration of mental and physical condition, a significant decrease of human efficiency. This leads to the destruction of the family.

But it was worth to listen to the first issue of a loved one and then would not have to pay off your nerves, health, deterioration of health, mood and emotional background of the family.

About modern family

The most common gender stereotype is next: a man is the head of the family, he is a breadwinner and the woman is a mother, wife, keeper, teacher for children. But before you answer the question: “What stereotypes are, in your opinion, the most common in the modern family? – We need to understand what the "modern family is".

Without going into details and not plunging into the depths of the history of the family, let’s remember that we do not find a universal definition of family. Until recently it was recognized that the basis of the classical type of the patriarchal family is legally registered union between a man and woman, created for the purpose of birth and rearing of children. But in this case, the category of the family do not end up childless spouses, persons who are in registered marriage and having children together, single parents with children, etc.

At this stage of the transformation function of the family a radical change in gender and social roles of the spouses, their expectations of marriage and family life it is not appropriate to talk about family in general but about the different types of families. At present there is no definition that would adequately reflect the current state of affairs.

The answer to the question "What is the family" can consist of either a narrowing of the concept (for example, consider a family of such a society where there are dependent members), or the allocation of different types of families, as a special kind of small groups or in the determination of congestion. Depending on the "completeness" of parents and their biological or legal relationship with the children, the genesis of the formation of single-parent families, education of families on the basis of contract, etc. can count a dozen types of families. In such a variety of types of families formed a variety of behavioral practices, there are non-traditional roles and norms. The fact that the marriage is old-fashioned and a woman has the right to bear and raise a child alone, then that the modern woman may well combine work with motherhood and create normal conditions for the development of their child without a husband does not cause conviction and becomes an omen of time.

Analysis of the family as a system can be directed, in the one hand to the knowledge of its internal mechanisms for interaction, on the other - on its relationship with society. The main gender stereotypes of family are focused on relations and related roles of men and women.
