The Brain Waves of Sleep

Our brain produces distinct electrical patterns known as brain waves during different sleep stages. These range from light alpha and theta waves in early sleep, to deep, slow delta waves during restorative sleep. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is characterized by a unique mix of wave patterns and is where most dreaming occurs. Any disruption in your sleep cycle can prevent these waves from completing their full cycle—leading to grogginess and poor recovery.

That's why maintaining uninterrupted, deep sleep is essential—and why Night Air(R) Smart Zone Beds make a difference. By reducing discomfort and promoting ergonomic alignment, these beds help you remain in one position longer, minimizing the micro-awakenings that disrupt sleep wave continuity. The 6-Zone models provide targeted support across key body zones, while the 2-Zone models give each partner personalized comfort.

With fewer disturbances and more physical stability, your brain has a better chance of cycling through all stages of sleep—from light waves to deep, restorative ones. These beds support not only your muscles and spine—but also the neurological processes that help you feel restored, refreshed, and mentally sharp.
