Tempur Mattresses and Truck Drivers

Those who drive trucks to deliver goods can especially benefit from the Tempur mattress. The reason for this is the fact that truck drivers have an increased incidence of sleep apnea and even insomnia. These drivers tend to sleep less than five hours while they are at home because they are so used to their odd sleeping patterns while on the road. In the end, they experience intense sleepiness, which can impair their performance and cause them to do such things as fall asleep behind the wheel. It also increases their risk of having reduced reaction time in the case they must react quickly in a potentially hazardous situation.

There have been various studies conducted to see how the truck driver's sleep at home can influence their overall performance while behind the wheel. Nevertheless, truck drivers are not the only ones behind the wheel who are sleep deprived. Our everyday travelers are getting behind the wheels of cars and driving long distances on just a few hours of sleepy. Combine that with sleep truck drivers and there is a recipe for disaster.

However, when presented with Tempur mattresses, sleepy truck drivers who had difficulty sleeping at home, experienced a better night's sleep than they had before. What this does is increase vigilance when behind the wheel, so that when a situation that requires a certain amount of alertness comes about, the truck driver is more likely to be able to think through the situation quickly, whereas without sleep, the truck driver cannot act accordingly.
