Every cell in our body needs oxygen. Getting that precious oxygen to every cell happens mainly through our circulatory system. Our heart is obviously the pump to keep the fuel reaching all our cells in a timely manner. And it's critical to our good health that we keep that oxygen flow going strong even while will we lie in bed sleeping.
Sleeping with our neck bent too much can reduce the flow of blood to our brain, which means less oxygen reaches our brain. That can cause all kinds of problems if it happens on a regular basis. So it is important that while we sleep our neck not be bent too much because the big arteries in our neck need to keep flowing unrestrictedly. Here's where the right pillow comes into play.
When we first go to bed we are happy to rest our head on our pillow. It feels good to relax and rest after a long day. And if our neck is bent too much at that time it may not feel like it because it feels so good just to be in bed. If we fall asleep without the proper neck and head support it's possible we could be diminishing the amount of blood our brain gets throughout our night's sleep. A contour foam pillow could be the right choice.
Sleeping on memory foam contoured pillow is perhaps one of the most effective ways to get the proper support for both your neck and head. A contour neck pillow is designed specifically to mold to your individual shape whether you sleep on your back, side or stomach. It is the contoured shape that allows the pillow to be used in any of these three positions. And it's the inherent ability of memory foam in memory foam contour pillows that conforms to your individual shape. That's what helps keep the air passages as well as the arteries aligned for maximum flow while lying in bed sleeping. Some people report a reduction in snoring as a result of switching to a memory foam contour pillow. Another significant benefit of using a foam contour pillow is a reduction in sleep disorders that result from lack of oxygen. This is due to the relaxation of throat muscles during sleep, which results in more oxygen into the lungs and more oxygen to the brain. Another noted benefit is the reduction of back and neck pain. The contour foam pillow allows the neck and head to be supported but not contorted. This more natural and beneficial position of the neck and head allows the spinal column to stay more properly aligned.
Some regular pillows work well for supporting the head and neck while we sleep. Other pillows are too thin or too thick or too soft or too hard. But how do you know if your pillow is just right for you? Some indicators that your pillow may not be working well for you are: difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; using more than one pillow in bed; using a rolled up towel or some kind of cloth to add support under your neck or head; or you use your arms as a pillow.
Thousands of people have switched to memory foam pillows for many reasons and have reported very good results. If it brings you a better night's sleep, it's well worth trying.
