Micro-awakenings, often barely noticeable, are brief episodes of waking up that occur during sleep. They are usually so short (a few seconds to a few minutes) that they are not necessarily remembered by the person concerned, but they can nevertheless disrupt the quality of sleep and the nocturnal recovery process.

Micro-awakenings can be caused by several factors, including stress, anxiety, certain health conditions, but also an inadequate sleep environment. An uncomfortable mattress, a faulty box spring, an inappropriate bedroom temperature, noises or too much ambient light are all factors that can cause micro-awakenings.

In terms of bedding, a suitable mattress is essential to minimise micro-awakenings. A mattress like our Alba Original, with its 100% natural latex welcome, offers optimal support for the body by adapting to its morphology and distributing pressure evenly, which helps avoid pain and pressure points that can cause micro-awakenings.

In addition, natural latex is a breathable material, which promotes good ventilation of the mattress and optimal thermal regulation, thus helping to create a sleeping environment conducive to uninterrupted rest.

It is important to note that if you suffer from frequent micro-awakenings that disrupt your sleep, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and find appropriate solutions.
