Does Melatonin Cause Weird Dreams?
"As far as melatonin’s influence on sleep and dreams are concerned, Jack Dell’Accio notes that this sleep hormone is known to activate and extend time in the REM cycle of sleep, which occurs approximately every 90 minutes and is linked to vivid dreams. “If your body is naturally producing enough melatonin and you are also supplementing, you may be adding to your REM dream experience,” he explains."
What is an Organic Mattress?
Buying an organic mattress shouldn't just be about the product component," explains Jack Dell'Accio, the CEO and founder of organic mattress company, Essentia. "It needs to be about social responsibility, ethical farming practices, ethical production standards, and fair wages at all levels."
