It has also cleared several stringent screenings including ISO 9001:2008 certification International Quality Management. The bedding equipment would essentially be an electric potential carbon fibre thermotheraphy mattress complemented by ‘high performance health pillow’ and ‘Hokutolite blanket’ which could improve healthcare and prevent diseases.

According to Mr. Lew Mun Yee, President and Founder of Amlife, they have been collaborating with the World Sleep Society and several authoritative and prestigious organizations in the sleep technology industry to advocate sleep care initiatives. Last year, the joint congress of World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) and World Sleep Federation conferred the World Sleep Distinguished Award in Prague to Amlife — making Malaysia the only Asian country to receive the prestigious Award. This year, Amlife had rolled out its regional roadshows targeting strategic audiences including the general public with sleep health talks, workshops, tips & solutions in key Asia Pacific countries – Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and now Malaysia. Mr. Lew said the current “sleep crisis” brings forth a sound “sleep economy” as people are beginning to take sleep quality very seriously. The relation of one’s health is strongly linked to good sleep has been established firmly in people’s mind. The market will continue to grow with good momentum and the “quality sleep market” industry will be a major trend in the future.

Amlife has invited Professor Dr. Laura Palagini, a renowned psychiatrist and an expert in sleep from Italy to advocate the importance of quality sleep. She touched on sleeping disorders in relations to mental health, a host of cardiovascular diseases and even Alzheimer’s disease. With over two decades of research experience in biological, clinical psychology and an expert in sleep disorders, Dr. Laura explains circadian sleep timing is regulated by factors within the body but also by factors outside the body, environmental factors such as sunlight and lifestyle. “Disrupting circadian sleep timing impairs the sleep machine which regulates sleep. Sound sleep is one of the three pillars of good health along with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Sleep disorders impact health quality and trigger problems such as obesity, diabetes, weakened immune systems, various psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety and psychosis. Ultimately, our well-being & life quality, social & work productivity issues get compromised,” explained Doctor Laura. This is why we should sleep and wake up at the same time everyday.

Dr. Koyabu Miki, a Western medical specialist / professional who also has extensive knowledge in Traditional Chinese medicine from Japan presented on sleep disorders and their adverse effect on our body, with focus on our immunity system and women’s health. He also explained many modern lifestyle diseases have caused countless people to be immobile and bedridden. By using the revolutionary technology of electric potential therapy from Amlife mattress, these diseases can be prevented. Amlife is currently available in Brunei, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Taiwan.
