Sleep Disorders - Your Pillow

One of the things we have done to handle our recent problem with sleeping is to get new pillows. We prefer natural fibers over foam. Especially as the man made fibers leach chemicals into the air. However, we do find that the shape of the pillow makes a difference.

Our new pillows are down, but not over puffed. They are comfortable, and don't 'trap' my head.



How to Choose a Perfect Pillow for the Deepest Night Sleep


Sleeping is one of the most important things for us to maintain our health. Proper sleep affects how we perform throughout the day. The better we sleep, the better our performance. In spite of the importance of sleep, most pillows were not designed to properly support the body to ensure a good night's sleep.
