Maintaining good postural habits during the daytime may be simply a matter of conscious effort on the part of the individual, but, said Peever. stronger measures may need to be taken to improve sleeping habits. The most obvious ingredients to a good night's sleep are often overlooked as people scrimp in buying a mattress and pillow, he said. A good mattress should be comfortable, yet firm enough to give well-balanced support. Ones that are too hard or soft can seriously affect quality of sleep. Choosing a suitable pillow, one that is neither too thick or thin, is also important. in Peever's opinion. Using one's arm as a pillow should be avoided since it cuts off circulation and puts stress on the arms, back and shoulders. Peever also encourages regular exercise. proper nutrition and periodic checkups of the spine and nervous system, particularly for children, "to make sure everything is function- ing properly. If you can correct problems when people are young, you are going to have a healthier spine and nervous system," he said.

Peever said that the way an individual carries himself. can aliect him both physically and mentally. Stress and strain on the muscles and ligaments, caused by poor posture. can lead to improper functioning of the internal organs and eventually a k terioration or wearing down of the spinal discs.
