\u201cLike all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen,\u201d the nineteenth-century British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, once said. <\/span><\/p>\n

The above words perfectly describe what happens to people when they set off to new places. There are so many different scents, colors, languages, cultures, and more when a person finds his or herself away from home. It would be impossible to assimilate all of the impressions on the brain, and that is one of the marvels of travel. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But with vacation comes change and, maybe for some, even a step out of their comfort zone. One of the things that impacts us the most is where we stay and the kind of rest we get. Let\u2019s face it, getting something in the realm of seven to nine hours of sleep per night is what the human body needs to function. Without it, you see less than you remember and forget more than you have seen. <\/span><\/p>\n

If a person is exhausted no place will seem enticing.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sicily is \u2018there\u2019 but in the mind not so really \u2018aware\u2019. Wake up on the wrong mattress and the aforementioned will truly come to the foreground. <\/span><\/p>\n

This Mediterranean island has been the heart and crucible of culture and the fate of empires in the area for hundreds of years. After the Phoenicians came, it was the Greeks and Carthaginians until Roman power usurped their positions. For many years, the island changed hands. And for a period, the Moors dominated followed by the Normans, until it became a kingdom in its own right and finally a part of the Italy people recognize today. <\/span><\/p>\n

This vast heritage can be seen all over the island in its Greek temples, Baroque style palazzos, and Norman churches, all of them weaving a rich tapestry of unique history. Visitors can almost feel being a part of the past when they roam the streets of Syracuse, the birthplace of the renowned mathematician and inventor Archimedes. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In parts, the island of Sicily is on the same latitude as the Northern African coast, providing for a mild climate during most of the year. Autumn and spring are the best times to visit, as the summer tends to get rather hot. There is probably nowhere else on the planet that has the same amalgamation of ancient, medieval, and recent history fused with Riviera-style chic and weather. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds enticing! But none of it will register in your mind and heart if you wake up feeling grouchy. Vacations involve a lot of planning. And that does not only include what clothing and footwear to take, flights, hotels, etcetera, but also the mattress is essential. A good night\u2019s sleep is the ticket to having an epic holiday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Keep these <\/span>mattress hacks <\/b>in mind to make sleep easier and more re energizing. Blogs like <\/span>Mattress Matchers<\/span><\/a> can provide further advice: <\/span><\/p>\n
