Office sleeping chairs. Are they healthy?

Before talking about ergonomic chairs, let's talk about the importance of sleep in our lives and how it affects our quality of life.

Did you know that March 19 is World Sleep Day? Yes, it is, and its objective is to raise awareness about the importance of sleeping well. Many people still do not know the benefits of restful sleep or the harmful consequences of not having it. They simply do not give the importance they deserve to the quantity and quality of their sleep. That is why, since 2008, World Sleep Day has been celebrated, each year with a different motto. This year 2021, the motto published by the World Sleep Society has been “Regular sleep, healthy future” . With which a call is made to all health professionals to defend and educate the world about the importance of sleep to achieve an optimal quality of life and improve overall health. Some of the tips they give us to achieve healthy sleep are the following:

1. Always go to sleep and get up at the same time.
2. If you are going to take a nap, try not to exceed 45 minutes.
3. Avoid caffeine at least 6 hours before going to sleep.
4. Avoid heavy meals up to 4 hours before going to bed.
5. Do physical activity during the day.
6. Don't take your computer to bed. If you're going to work, do it from your desk.
7. And of course use a bed in which you feel comfortable.

There's no doubt that there's nothing better than a good bed for a deep sleep. But if you had to choose one chair to take a nap in, which one would it be? If you try Herman Miller's Cosm High Back Chair , you'll probably never want to try anything else.

The Cosm chair, thanks to its “Auto-Harmonic Tilt” mechanism, will automatically adjust to your anatomy and the shape of your body, instantly providing the ideal balance between support and movement. In addition, its flexible frame will allow you to comfortably move your upper body. Without a doubt, this ergonomic chair will not disappoint you, whether your goal is to sit upright to work, or if what you need is to recline for a good nap. In addition, the high backrest area will give you the support you need to relax. With Cosm you will feel such a high degree of comfort that you will simply forget that you are sitting. A very healthy resource for resting in the office or in your workspace.

And, returning to today's topic, you should know that people who sleep well have a better sense of humor, higher spirits, and better psychomotor and academic performance.
