Here are the facts: Though we spend a third of our lives in bed, 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. don't get enough sleep, according to the CDC. Sleep is a vital part of our lives, but it's often treated as an afterthought. In fact, you might be reading this story bleary-eyed and only functioning due to that third cup of coffee.

Getting enough rest can have a huge impact on your mental health and physical performance, and your mattress has a lot to do with whether or not you get your forty winks. Sleep Number is at the forefront of sleep wellness technology and they've got some options that might make the one third of your life spent in bed a little more peaceful.

The tech behind sleep

We're learning more and more about how we sleep, and that education can help us learn how to get more rest. Sleep Number smart beds use sensors to gather data about your sleep patterns. They're designed to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

You might be asking yourself, "Why do I need my bed to be technologically advanced?" Well let me ask you this: Have you ever found yourself constantly waking up in the middle of the night, trying to find the perfect position and temperature for optimal comfort? We've all been there.

Smart beds offer adjustable firmness settings, temperature control, and personalized sleep insights. Some of them even automatically adjust throughout the night to prevent restlessness. In addition, each side of the bed has its own individual settings, helping you reach The Goldilocks Zone. (You know… just right.)

Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer

One of the foremost issues in sleep comfort is temperature and all of Sleep Number's smart beds (like the Climate360) are adept at handling it. Each side has individualized temperature control that can be adjusted by up to 30 degrees, cooling you down or heating you up based on your preferences. This mattress also features foot-warming technology to help you fall asleep. No more woolen socks to bed like you're a pioneer. Need even more temperature control? The True Temp sheet set absorbs excess heat to keep you cool while you're catching some Zs.

In addition to temperature control, each side of Sleep Number beds get individualized firmness. Many are constructed with pressure-relieving comfort layers that help you drift off, along with technology that senses your restlessness and automatically adjusts to keep you comfy. This is a perfect option for couples who might not have the same sleep schedule. You can climb in without disturbing your partner (as long as you don't snatch all the covers).

It's not just about how well you rest. It's about figuring out why you're resting well. With the data gathered by your Sleep Number bed, you'll be able to understand your rest more deeply than ever before. Keep track of trends and personal insights, uncover your SleepIQ score, and build a wellness profile that will lead to a perfect night's rest.

With Sleep Number's biggest sale of the year going on, now is the perfect time. You spend a third of your life in bed—it might as well be pleasant.
