subject: Achieving Sleeping Comfort With The Right Pillow [print this page] Quality sleep is an elusive commodity for many people. The challenge of
getting into a rhythmic sleeping pattern is influenced by many factors most people never stop to think about. One such factor is that you may be sleeping on the wrong pillow.
Muscle tension has a significant impact on your ability to enter the first relaxed state of sleep, due to decreased blow flow levels of your body. This leads to an overactive brain that works to keep your body awake. When your pillow creates tension in your neck, your brain gets used to a pattern of not sleeping because it thinks it should be working to resolve this tension.
Aside from lowering anxiety and shutting off your monkey brain, a comfortable pillow suited to your sleeping type will:
- condition your muscles to relax and enter into muscular revitalization
- eliminate pressure from bony prominences (shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles) by allowing increased blood flow
- enable your musculo-skeletal system to naturally adjust and reset
Choosing the right pillow is a significant step towards achieving a good night's sleep. A high-quality pillow will support your head and neck, without applying unwanted pressure, as it conforms to your unique shape. By evenly distributing the weight of your head and neck along the vertebrae, no one area is over active.
When one third of your day is spent sleeping, usually in the same position, it's important to choose a pillow that allows your muscles to relax and rebuild themselves. Proper distribution of the weight of your head is similar to keeping good posture when sitting and is a key attribute to consider when looking for a comfortable pillow.
