Commercial cooperation Unikulma: Athletics super talent Viivi Lehikoinen: the amount of Sleep in addition important is the quality

One of Finland's most promising young athletics who want to improve sleep quality and get a decent bed.

Mainly in the 400 metres genuine competition in the Viivi Lehikoinen told me he heard many times lectures to sleep about the importance of top-level sport.

But mostly have been talking about sleep length, not about what kind of bed should be, Lehikoinen says.

Lehikoinen, however, was heard of in other sports from Unikulma beds, which are manufactured custom for each body suit. Helsinki, Mäkelänrinne sports high school, a Lehikoinen moved last fall for the first time to your apartment and slept for a few months on that mattress on the floor. Then he decided to contact the Unikulmaan and went in December Unikulma motion UnikLab-surface pressure measurement.

Measurement to see how the body is pressed into the mattress. Based on these data produced a mattress that is flexible and supports the body just the right amount of different points of the body.

physical therapist education Unikulma professionals will also see many other things, the surface pressure measurement.

- on My test I found that the back of your thighs do not come back during the night then in my bed, i.e., one on a mattress on my apartment floor, Lehikoinen recalls.

- in Addition to the measurement revealed that the spine and the pelvic position was bad on the old mattress.

women have a wider pelvis than men. This is why regular mattress in a female pelvis is often not press deep enough into the mattress, causing the spine remains bent and the pelvis tilted. In this case, the back muscles do their work through the night in order to keep the spine straight. In the morning the muscles are tired and my back feel stiff.

custom-made mattress the spine is straight and the back muscles get to relax and recover from the day's training burdens. Lehikoinen told a couple of months of use after notice that it had a custom mattress to have affected particular sensations back.

- Back rigidities have disappeared.

special lacquer to enhance the recovery of the

Viivi Lehikoinen use Unikulma technical SteadyBody-special bed sheets that enhance the recovery. The sheet of material contains electrically conductive carbon fiber. The sheets are also heat-regulating.

special sheets purpose is to help you sleep more calmly smoothing out the body's electric fields and temperature differences. The best effect is created when we're sleeping naked and used, as well as special material pouches that the bottom sheet.

I Have used electrical sheets for a couple of weeks and the difference I notice. Now when the temperatures have ranged from a hard frost and the mild air in between, so the apartment in the temperature has thrown, Lehikoinen said.

- the Sheets are aligned by the temperature so that the housing of the temperature fluctuations are not hindered. Sleep has been markedly smoother.

Lehikoisella is two Unikulma pillow, ergonomic pillow as well as a traditional down pillow. Lehikoinen is used the more down a pillow, as he slept tucked his hand under the pillow. In this case, the down pillow is flexible and the head does not rise too upright. Sleep would be a good idea to keep your hands away from the cushion, but many still do so, as has long done the same way.

Lehikoisen goose down pillow is much sturdier than her previous pillow. He sleeps on his side and in this case, the pillow must be thick enough and sturdy so that the head does not hang downward but the neck is straight.

I Was a couple of days flat and there was a softer pillow. Then I noticed clearly the difference between firm and soft pillow between. Sleep with a soft pillow was broken down.

Cell phone screen attracts

Lehikoinen has followed the body recovery, and sleep quality of technological aids. He has noticed, that the cell phone screen to the excessive staring at the evening clearly affects the sleep quality.

Sleep quality suffers and in addition to sleep is more difficult, if you have been staring at the screen all night.

Cell phone screen blue artificial light similar to sunlight, which has a powerful effect to the body. A day time cell phone use does not matter, because the bright screen and it emits blue light to maintain a vibrant.

But at night the light should change keltapuna tone sunset way. If the eyes reflected the evening of intense blue light, so the brain thinks day to day.

Yes, the cell phone will attract in the evenings, when the day you go to school and practice. I have tried to reduce cell phone usage in the evenings, but I admit that there is room for improvement.

the Good thoughts will help you fall asleep

One tip falling asleep difficulties of suffering is to set the bedroom walls pictures, which become good memories and thoughts. Viivi Lehikoisella no trouble falling asleep, but he has the chance, just set the bed above the long line of pictures for good memories.

Kuvarivi views Lehikoisen Facebook pages, which is a fun video of him jumping off the new bed.

- It is a good moment pictures that I have taken or friends have taken. They bring to the apartment a nice and they are nice to look at afterwards and remember, Lehikoinen says.
