Get a Good Night's Sleep with ProMed

ProMed has everything that you need to help your residents have sweet dreams!

Studies have shown that as people age, they tend to have a harder time falling asleep and more trouble staying asleep. They also tend to be less satisfied with the sleep they are getting and more tired during the day. A number of behavioral modifications can help with this, including cutting back on caffeine, trying to go to bed at the same time each evening and reducing the amount of time spent napping.1 A sleep-conducive environment can also help residents relax and fall asleep more quickly. ProMed stocks a complete line of products to help you create comfortable, homelike sleeping spaces.
