SlumberBlog - Better Pillows

Many people can only fall asleep on their sides. It can be hard to find the right pillow to do so, most of them being too thick leaving your head and neck at an awkward angle. Waking up in the middle of the night with a pinched nerve in your neck is no fun and is not healthy. This also includes women after their 20th week of pregnancy. Doctors say that pregnant women lying on their backs while they sleep can actually restrict the main vein that bring blood back to the heart. That can sometimes lead to light headed feeling for women when they wake up, and its not good for the baby.

I have heard stories of people who have tried to stay on their side while they sleep but always end up on their backs, causing snoring and restricted blood flow. The culprit could be your big fluffy pillow. It may be forcing you to roll over during the night without you being aware.

Try the Slender Sleeper.

It is supportive without being to thick and may help you remain on your side. Also, you may want to put a that fluffy pillow at the middle of your back. That way, you wont be able to roll over as easily.

As always, Art.
