The fall of the capital
Hi all
It's Monday, everybody's favourite day! Lets start the week off with something a little easier going than "How are health conditions categorised". Unfortunately, this post is also a bit dry, but tomorrow's will be better, I promise.
I need to address the use of capital letters in my last post: Scientifically and grammatically, it was wrong. You may have noticed that I (usually) didn't use capital letters for diseases. This was deliberate.
My Health myself is all about us gaining control and asserting mastery over our health conditions. Wherever possible it should be we who control the condition, not the condition that controls us. By removing the capital letter, I wanted to demonstrate that we don't extend to health conditions the same courtesy and respect that we accord the people living with said conditions.
Like all good rules, however, there are exceptions. I kept the capital where the name of the disease was an acronym (like COPD), the first word of a sentence, or the name of the individual who discovered it.
This is neither correct nor is it good writing, but it was my small act of defiance and rebellion against our health conditions and, short of a major controversy, it is the method I will use in future posts. In professional circumstances, of course, I will continue to do the right thing.
So what is today's take home message?
Don't show your LTC respect, show it who really owns the capital.
Until tomorrow, take care everyone

Does this cat have a home?
Hi neighbours
This little cat is hanging around our house in Keeling street a lot and looking a bit lost and forlorn. Does she belong to anyone?
We don’t want to adopt her in case she actually does have a home.
Please let me know if she belongs to you or you know where she lives.
Thanks

Tips on Accelerating Your Comfort Level with a New Mattress
Getting started on the quest for the perfect night’s sleep with a new mattress can be exciting, but it often requires a period of adjustment.
If you've recently invested in a new mattress and are wondering about the time frame for adjustment, you're not alone.
Understanding the typical adjustment period can greatly improve your sleep health and ensure you get the most comfort out of your new bed.
The Personal Touch: Individual Variation in Adjustment
When it comes to adapting to a new mattress, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
The mattress adjustment period can vary significantly depending on a number of personal factors.
Age, health, and even your usual sleep position can influence how quickly you adjust.
Generally, most people take anywhere from a few days up to a month to fully adapt to their new sleeping environment.
During this time, your body is acclimating to the support and feel of the mattress, which may differ significantly from your old one.
Understanding Mattress Types and Their Impact
The type of mattress you choose also plays a crucial role in your adjustment period.
Memory foam, for instance, may require a longer adjustment period as it contours more significantly to your body compared to a traditional spring mattress.
On the other hand, hybrid mattresses—a combination of foam and springs—offer a balance of support and cushioning, which might ease the adaptation process.
Tips for a Smoother Transition
Adapting to your new mattress is not just about waiting it out; there are active steps you can take to make the process smoother:
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day sets your body’s internal clock, which can help reduce the adjustment time.
Create a comfortable sleep environment. Ensure your bedroom is conducive to sleep—consider factors like temperature, light, and noise.
Give it time. Even if your new mattress feels different or not quite right initially, give it a few weeks, as initial discomfort is common.

Recognizing the Signs of Successful Adjustment
How do you know if you're well-adjusted to your new mattress?
Look for positive changes in your sleep quality and health.
You should experience less tossing and turning, fewer awakenings through the night, and reduced morning stiffness or soreness.
Increased sleep quality and waking up feeling rested are clear indicators that your body has adapted to the new mattress.
Comfort with Confidence
Adjusting to a new mattress is a unique experience that varies from person to person.
By understanding your needs and the characteristics of different mattress types, along with employing tips to aid the transition, you can enhance your sleep quality significantly.
Remember, a good night's sleep is crucial for your overall health and well-being.
