Lack of sleep can affect the health and quality of life of those in need of care.
Healthy sleep means being able to fall asleep quickly, sleep through the night, and feel refreshed and not wake up prematurely. But the incontinence of a family member can have a serious impact on the night’s sleep needed – both for the person affected and for the family member caring for them. TENA ProSkin Pants Night Super are designed to be used while lying down at night to keep the skin drier and protected for longer. The disposable pants ensure a peaceful and restful sleep for moderate to severe incontinence.
Restful and sufficient sleep is particularly important for the health, well-being and mental abilities of people in need of care. But caring relatives also need enough sleep to recover and gain new strength. However, many people with incontinence who are cared for in their own four walls also have problems with urine loss at night. Frequent visits to the toilet, regular checks of the incontinence product and nightly product changes can seriously disrupt the night’s sleep of people in need of care and those who care for them.
Poor sleep affects your health
Lack of sleep over a long period of time can significantly affect the health and quality of life of those in need of care. Poor sleep also increases the risk of falling. Last but not least, sleep problems can also have a negative impact on the course of dementia. Caring relatives, on the other hand, often feel resentment, anger or rage towards the person in need of care if care tasks often interrupt sleep at night. This can not only put a strain on the care relationship, but can also lead to complete exhaustion.
Safe protection for the night
Caring relatives should therefore choose a special nighttime incontinence product for their loved ones. It must be particularly absorbent, but also offer good leakage protection when lying down. TENA ProSkin Pants Night Super have been specially developed for use while lying down at night. The disposable pants for mobile women and men with moderate to severe incontinence offer particularly high absorbency in the back area – where it is most important at night. Integrated leak barriers and a dual absorption zone with rapid liquid absorption ensure that the sensitive skin of older people stays drier and protected for longer.
Support in going to the toilet independently
TENA ProSkin Pants Night Super can be put on and taken off like normal underwear. In this way, they support independent toileting and thus promote the independence of those in need of care. The soft and textile-like material of the disposable pants is completely breathable. And like all products from the TENA ProSkin range, the night products are dermatologically tested and certified by the Skin Health Alliance. With their outstanding properties, TENA ProSkin Pants Night Super ensure safety and dryness – and thus a peaceful and restful sleep, without frequent interruptions due to incontinence.
Avoid falls at night
A special product for nocturnal incontinence is also recommended for another reason: If you have to rush to the toilet several times at night in the dark, you run the risk of falling. For people in need of care, there are a variety of dangers and obstacles within their own four walls. Even a doorstep or slipping carpet can easily become a tripping hazard when using the toilet at night. Common consequences include bruises or even broken bones. Falls and the resulting injuries have a major impact on the quality of life of people in need of care. Many of those affected are permanently restricted in their mobility and rely on help.
More relaxed on the toilet
A barrier-free apartment without obstacles or tripping hazards as well as a well-lit path to the toilet make an important contribution to accident prevention. A special night product is just as important for incontinence. Those in need of care feel much safer and more relaxed with TENA ProSkin Pants Night Super because they can go to the toilet more slowly and carefully at night or wait for support from a family member.
