Sažetak
Man spends a third of his life in sleep. Since early times it is well known that sleep is an essential physiological function, but it is not thoroughly investigated to these days. Even some sixty years ago the sleep was a poorly explained phenomenon. Despite all this it can be stated that hardly any other physiological function attracted human curiosity and initiated the need for the elementary understanding as did the sleep. The object of this research is a mattress, or the interaction of the man and the bed in the function of healthy sleeping. Polysomnographic tests were used to investigate the quality of sleep on two types of beds ("GR" and lattoflex type). Somnological analysis showed that the sleeping on the bed with the GR-spring core is better than on the lattoflex bed. However, no significant differences were found among the analyzed characteristics. The research, which was performed at the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Zagreb and in the Centre for sleep and sleeping anomalies in Zagreb indicate that the problem of bed and sleep should be treated in an interdisciplinary way, and the specifications are given for the application of the results of this study, as well as for the further research.
