Without Sleep

The record for someone to go without sleep was 18 days, 21 hours and 40 minutes. This occurred during a rocking chair marathon. This did not come without consequence, however, as the person who set the record reported hallucinations, blurred vision, concentration and memory lapses, paranoia and slurred speech.

Know Your Pillow!


Are you a side sleeper? Stomach sleeper? Maybe you just like laying flat on your back and pretending you're a corpse until sleep overwhelms you. Hey, we're not going to judge. The good news is, we have a pillow for you! You need your neck and shoulders supported, your spine in line, and we're going to help you get that healthier rest and sleep you need. If you go onto sleepys.com and look at Bedding → Pillows you can find at the very top 3 top rated pillows for Back, Side and Stomach sleeper pillows all with high ratings and currently on sale for $60 a piece.
I, personally, am a back sleeper so I'm going to share with you some information on my favorite pillow, the Back Sleeper Position Pillow. It's a farm but relatively flat-structured pillow which elevates the head and supports the neck. This is great if, like me, you're a back sleeper because you like to watch TV or read a book until you fall asleep. I personally am mostly guilty of reading online articles on my laptop until I pass out. This pillow is perfect because it's designed partly as a wedge, which means it can support your upper back as well.
