The Queen of Neck Pillows

Keep Your Pillow on the Mattress, not on your Floor

Today's post is not necessarily about a pillow for neck pain, stiff neck or even helping you sleep. Rather its a special bed wedge that i discovered after a customer called asking about it. My customer needed something to keep in between his headboard and his mattress. He said, "do you have a long rectangular pillow that i could place so that i don't keep losing things. My pillows, books and other other things keep falling on the floor."

So i did some research, and lo and behold there is something called the bed wedge that "keeps your pillow under your head and not under your bed". Check out the Bed Wedge Here:

Can Music Help Me To De-Stress So I Sleep Better?

Listening to some relaxing music before bed time may help you sleep.  Here's the thing, it won't hurt...(well maybe if the music is particularly painful to listen too - just joking, then it wouldn't be called relaxing)!  

No really though, music has been one of those thing that's been used for a "billion" year to help relax you for sleep.  Just like acupunture; it's been shown to help many things, for a long time.  A music therapist is the practitioner that can help more with this if you think you can use it.

Can Drinking Affect My Sleep?

The jury's out on this one.  After a number of study's they've shown how alcohol actually reduces your sleep; at least good sleep anyway.  You want to get R.E.M. sleep, deep, restful sleep.  After a few drinks you may feel like you pass right out to sleep, but time after time, we are shown how it's not the most restful sleep you can get!

A recent 2013 study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, showed that having alohol before bed can cause you to wake up during the night and not feel as rested when you wake up the next morning. The study further showed that alcohol consumption reduces the time it takes to fall asleep. So while it may help you for the first part of the sleep cycle, it doesn't help in the second part of your sleep cycle.

Choosing a Pillow that You Can Adjust Easily...

A travel pillow that is not U shaped

I have many customers that ask for a recommendation of a travel pillow. Many times they are very happy with the pillow that use everyday. However, when it comes time to travel they are searching for the right pillow. Its tough sometimes to get a proper night's sleep with hotel pillows because they do not provide any support for the neck.

The Chiroflow water travel pillow is one that I highly recommend. The great thing is that it is a rectangular shaped pillow, and you can vary the amount of support with the pillow as well. Rather than a u shaped travel pillow which is great for sitting around, this one can be used for sleeping. The waterbase adjusts to your sleeping positions. 

The dimensions of this pillow are: 13.5"x 21"- so it is definitely small. It can fit easily in with your luggage for easy travel.
