There are a number of common reasons for sleep problems in adults and we will review these in this article.

Babies require a great deal of sleep. A newborn baby will sleep up to 16 hours per day. At first they will wake up every 2 to 3 hours to feed. Gradually as the weeks go by, they will sleep for longer periods. From around 6 months old they will sleep 5 or 6 hours continuously, giving parents much needed rest.

Parents will know and tell you that if you have a child with a sleep problem it can be very stressful. Adults need their sleep too, and being woken by a child during the night is very wearing. We all have a cycle in sleep of moving between REM (Rapid Eye Movement) light sleep when we are dreaming, and NREM (Non Rapid Eye Movement) which is a deep sleep. It is during the REM stage that we or a child is most likely to wake up.

Alpaca wool has some wonderful qualities and as we examine them you will see why we here at Penrose Products love this fibre and use it. One of the reasons and a very important one for us is that alpaca wool is a good insulator and yet helps regulate temperature in our pillows and duvets. Alpaca wool is also naturally anti-allergenic so allergy sufferers will not suffer using alpaca wool products. There are many other reasons too so please read on.

Alpacas are domesticated members of the camelid family; the others are llamas, camels, guanacos and vicunas. They are native to South America, living in the higher altitudes of The Andes, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. Alpacas are kept for their fleece and have been farmed for thousands of years. There are 2 breeds of Alpaca; the Huacaya (pronounced wakaya) and Suri. The Suri is not common in the UK and has a fleece which can be compared to dreadlocks which are long and loose.
