Sleep health
Sleep is half rest, half recovery. The articles in our sleep-health section cover the medical, lifestyle, and environmental sides of sleep: chronic pain and the mattress's role in alleviating or aggravating it, sleep apnea and CPAP-friendly bed setups, partner sleep dynamics, sleep during pregnancy, and the cluster of habits (caffeine timing, screen exposure, bedroom temperature) that decide how rested you wake up. None of this is medical advice, talk to your doctor, but a lot of it is the kind of practical context that shoppers don't get on the back of a mattress tag.
