We all suffer or have suffered at one time or another in our existence from sleep disorders. But we are not all equal in front of these disorders. The subject is, I think, well documented but for my part I questioned myself about the role of my bed in my existence since I became aware that my concern worsened the night. It is important to sleep well for growing well. That appears obvious but how much parents really worry to regularly change the mattress of their children. I arrived in France at 9 years old. In Guadeloupe, I remember that I slept on a bed whose base was entirely of wood and without a proper mattress, the bed was making up of clothing playing the role of the mattress. My sleep at that time was deep and I do not remember to have suffered from any particular health issue. My hearing was also perfect. In France, I slept all my youth on beds made up of spring wire base with a foam mattress which gave me more the impression to be in a hammock than in a bed. With the proper perspective, I think that I slept better without mattress and spring base!
