Introducing the Quality of Life Advisory Board

I’m very excited to introduce a series of guest bloggers that will be participating on the Slumber Party Blog over the next few months.

Select Comfort has teamed up with a hand-picked group of five top experts to form The Sleep Number Quality of Life Advisory Board.

The board’s mission? To help people truly understand the bond between sleep and quality of life, and give you practical advice to achieve that healthy balance.

Along with the Sleep Advisory Board (our team of scientists and researchers who help to ensure we are a company firmly grounded in the science of sleep) the Sleep Number Quality of Life Advisory Board is helping Select Comfort to champion the science of sleep and its effects on well being and quality of life.

Through tips from our experts, you can find how getting a good night’s sleep can help you feel and look better every day:
