College
College students rarely want to spend money on anything, besides food. If it’s not $5, it can be hard to catch their attention. However, there are necessities that a little money needs to be dropped on every once in a while, like new clothing or dishes (instead of using the same paper bowl, maybe?). And usually, this list does not include a new mattress. After all, someone who can sleep on their friend’s couch doesn’t really invest much thought into the quality of their sleep. However, here is why college students should invest in a new mattress.
Mattresses can make college easier.
- Cost-effective over time
It might seem like most of your paycheck at the time, but buying a new mattress frees up later incomes for something else. If you spend fifty dollars on a mattress, you will be buying a new fifty-dollar mattress before the year is up and so on and so forth. Before long, you are spending more on eight different mattresses than one that will last the same amount of time.
- Your parents will be pleased
Your parents are worrying about your state of living. In college, it can get particularly bad – like living in a house of boxes bad. It’s true that technically you are an adult, but your parents will still worry about the decisions you are making in college. To call them up and say “I bought a mattress today” is possibly one of the most adult things you could do. Better even than buying a different piece of furniture, like a recliner.
College
Buying a new mattress is a necessary expenditure.
- Your health
College is stressful. 80 percent of college students reported they frequently or sometimes experience daily stress, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Additionally, a study from Brown University found that 73 percent of students were found to have sleep problems. Having poor sleep and a large amount of stress can be a deadly combination and lead to health complications later on in life, including a more irritable mood in general. College students sleep bad enough as it is, there’s no reason to further that problem by not having a comfortable sleep when you do have time.
College is a time of poor eating, stress and just being poor in general, but there’s no reason for your sleep to suffer. Having a better night’s sleep will help you tackle the daily stresses like a professional and make even a little part of your life better.
