Sleep and adjustable beds

For human beings, as with any other animals, sleep is primarily a time to allow our bodies to heal and to grow. The anabolic period is when we digest the food we ate during our awake, or catabolic, phase. Each of the activities you do during the day you exhaust or destroy complex proteins as you use them for energy. While you are sleeping your body is taking the simple substances (carbohydrates or proteins and vitamins) you ate and turning them into more of these complex proteins. Such proteins are what make up your tissues. The processes which go one within your body while you are sleeping do not require you to be conscious. However, sleeping is very different from a coma or other levels of unconsciousness. For example, sleep can always be interrupted. While you are sleeping all of your organs remain very active.
