Is your pillow Tired? Just hang on and testdrive yours...!!

Did you know that a feather pillow lasts for about eight years?? A regular down pillow holds a life san of 5 years and a man-made filling pillow about six months to two years.

A simple test* can determine if "your pillow is tired"!
Lay the Feather or Down pillow on a hard surface and fold it in half or thirds and squeeze out the air. Release the pillow. If it unfolds and return to its original position, it is enough support. A tired (or overused) pillow will stay folded.

Polyester pillows you fold the same way as above but add a shoe on top. If it "pings" off the show the pillow is in good shape.
So either you need to go out and buy a new pillow right now before that it is always goof to consult a physiotherapist before shopping. We love out tempura pillows that do state that your alignment is maintained...

*these is just a guidelines and all out of shape pillows will need replacing if not supporting...

Study shows that Cognitive Therapy* Provides Insomnia Relief

According to a study conducted in the U.S., cognitive behavioral therapy* can benefit people with chronic insomnia. The researchers who conducted the study studied data gathered from 115 patients between the ages of 14 and 81 who had chronic onset insomnia, sleep maintenence insomnia or both. These patients went through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which makes the person learn to identify thoughts and patterns that interfere with sleep. After this, around 50% and 60% of patients said that they experienced remission of the primary sleep difficulty they suffered from. Read more about this exciting study

* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as described by The Beck Institute states that this method is one of the few forms of psychotherapy that has been scientifically tested and found to be effective in over four hundred clinical trials for many different disorders. In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. Indeed, much of what the patient does is solve current problems. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.

Afternoon Nap is underestimated

Take Five - whenever you need. Napping is important for good health but it is an art form and can be a very difficult one to master. The most difficulty can be found when trying to relax enough to fall asleep, which is enhanced by a worry that you won't wake up in time. With our Napping Sessions we have designed soundtracks based on our most popular sounds, in timed increments. You can choose from four lengths of time, and be woken up by a gradual and smooth alarm. A personal time zone of relaxation in balance with a pleasant awakening - all in time for that meeting.

To fall asleep you have to set yourself up for a relaxed state of mind. This is required in order to fall asleep, and the better you do this the better your chances are for a good nights rest and a pleasant tomorrow. You are prewired to take advantage of sounds for sleep and relaxation because of the soothing and calm it invokes. You may also fall asleep more readily when given a rhythm to focus on which will help you to redirect your thoughts from those things that could keep you awake.
