A Pillow That Can Make You Healthy and Sleep Well

=================================================

 

There are many stores in Japan where they only sell pillows. We never

realized that pillows alone can make money in business. Pillow Talk,

a comedy movie in 1959 featuring Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Randall is back again.

 

There are inns and hotels in Japan where you can choose your type of

pillow. Interestingly enough, according to various clinical studies

done by some universities in Japan, the right size and softness of

pillow can influence your health and intelligence. Do you believe

that?

 

***Trivia:** Did you know that elephants and giraffes use substitute

pillow? Elephants gather grass and use it as a pillow. In the case of

giraffe, they usually sleep while standing, but when they want to

rest well, they use their own hip as a pillow.*

 

Well, let's try to find the most suitable pillow for you and me.

 

A rich man, Mr. Sakai, was suffering from backache, shoulder pains,

migraine, and stress, especially when he wakes up every morning. He

thought of his pillow might be giving him problem when he saw a

signboard of " PILLOW STORE " in Paris. He entered the store and bought

a soft pillow, which costs 120 dollars, but the result was not as

much as he expected.

 

When he came back home in Tokyo from a long trip abroad, he

immediately went to his family clinic for health diagnosis. He was

diagnosed with " Occipital Neuralgia " . He was suggested that its cause

was due to poor sleeping position and angle.

 

All of us have seven cervical vertebrae bones as seen in the below

illustration.

There are spaces between these intervertebral discs where hundreds of

nerves are passing, extending to brain, arms, shoulder, and other

parts of the body.

 

It is, therefore, necessary to have a good rest around the neck to

have a comfortable passage for nerves during your sleep.

 

Failure to sleep well may create symptoms of occipital nerve pain,

such as headache, shoulder pain, stiff neck, and numbness around the

arms.

 

Well, what is the right angle for the head, neck, and shoulder during

your sleep? Is there any clinical or scientific way to measure it?

Yes, it exists scientifically.

 

It is a place we call " outer space " or " space " where there is no

gravity at all. However, it is impossible to create such space in our

home. We tried to find a possible way to create such.

 

You have heard about the " Dead Sea " , a salt lake on the border

between Israel and Jordan. The water in the lake is nearly 10 times

saltier than ordinary seawater. Even you do not know how to swim, you

will be floating. Doctors believe that you can be in most relaxed

position while you are floating in this kind of water just like you

are floating in outer space.

According to some orthopedists, a pillow positioned into a certain

angle could reduce stiff shoulder, headache, and backache, and many

pillow makers believe in it. Our own studies done with the

cooperation of a medical university students and doctors showed the

very same result.

 

To simulate the experience with floating in salty water, like that of

Dead Sea or in the outer space without gravity, the angle of pillow

to neck was about 15 degrees. You can check the degree with a simple

protractor you used when you were in your geometry class.

We tried to analyze the structure of the intervertebral disc using

CAT scanner, and the answer came to be that 15 degrees is one of the

best positions compare to other angles or degrees.

 

Of course, there are people who are more comfortable with other

angles, but this is on isolated cases.

 

How about the hardness of the pillow? Use an ordinary bath towel that

have just the right hardness. We do not recommend using a very soft

pillow like that of feather or sheep fur. Just a simple cotton pillow

is the best in our experiments.

 

##TOSSING AND TURNING IN BED AT NIGHT

 

What is the main reason of tossing and turning in bed at night? When

you sleep in face up position, the body pressure is well-balanced and

have a good blood circulation.

 

When you sleep in your side, then the body pressure is one-sided.

Temperature of the bottom side rises higher, and then the blood flow

will be unbalanced.

 

To correct the body temperature and blood flow, the brain will send

signal to toss and turn the body to properly balance the blood flow.

Now, you understand why your body toss and turn during sleep.

 

Naturally, if the body tosses and turns while sleeping, the body

loses its energy for it, and you will feel tiredness when you wake

up. Tiredness appears as headache, stiff neck, backache, and stress.

 

Well, let us make a sample pillow for good night sleep, which may

even stop snoring. An old hardened pillow, thickness of about 1 to 1½

inches, rolled with a new bath towel will do.

 

Height of the pillow should be about 15 degrees to your neck.

With this position, most people sleep well and get healthier than

ever before.
