Sleep - Introduction

WE ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP ANY ORDERS FOR THE NEXT 5 PLUS WEEKS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE.

An estimated 100+ million Americans have occasional sleep problems, of which 40 million have so-called "sleep disorders", and over 50% of the population is walking around deprived of sleep on a daily basis. Studies show it is getting only worse with each passing decade, and there are no signs of things getting any better. In fact, over the past 5 years alone there has been a startling 33% increase in those of us reporting trouble sleeping! Can you imagine what statistics for a full decade ahead will be? Unfortunately, it does not look like we are heading in the right direction in terms of sleep as a society.

Statistically, half of the American population is walking around tired, or in need of more quality sleep. Many of us do not even realize this is the case and think we are just tired from "too much work", but not because we have not slept well and long enough.

In our busy, fast-paced society, it seems we are constantly moving, thinking, and trying to get "more" done. The first thing many of us think of doing when we do have so-called "free time" is to catch up on a little TV time or do some activity that we have "not had the time to do", of course aside from catching up on our sleep. And greater quality and quantity sleep is exactly what most of us really need.

Not receiving the quality and quantity of sleep our minds and bodies need has an amazing affect on our lives. It can change the way we see and experience the world and our lives. One of the quickest ways to improve the quality of most of our lives and waking hours, as the statistics show, is to simply get a better night's sleep. It is such a simple answer to such a complex problem.

In terms of sleep and work performance, do you think our sleep-deprived states have an affect on how well we do our jobs? You bet they do! Studies show that being tired on the job lowers our personal and collective levels of productivity in drastic ways. This translates into a loss of billions of dollars every year. Ouch!

And, we are not alone as Americans. This trend can be found in other modern, industrialized countries around the world as well. Maybe it is time we wake up and get some quality sleep!

Luckily, there are many things we can do to get a better night's sleep.

Having the right pillow, which means an anatomically correct pillow, precisely designed for the human body, is an important step in the right direction. It is an essential step. The wrong pillow can lead to tossing and turning, body aches and pains, and take away from the sleep we all need. The days of big, fluffy pillows of the past are, simply stated, on the way out. “Bigger is always better” is an outdated concept! An analysis can quickly show us that the pillows many people use today are not as body-friendly or anatomically correct as they could and therefore should be. The pillows we choose can make huge difference in the quality of sleep we achieve.

At the same time, there is more we can do to help us achieve our goal of getting a better night's sleep. We at Innovative Sleep Solutions Inc. find it hard to believe that other "specialty" pillow companies want to sell you pillows, and yet amazingly there are very few who actually provide information about SLEEP. How can this be the case?

Yes…we do feel that we offer the most incredibly versatile memory foam pillow in the world, which provides the support and comfort you desire. But at the same time, what is our ultimate goal? It is all about achieving a better night's rest! We feel it would be an injustice not to provide you with quality information on the topic of sleep itself and a few tools to help you along the way.

"In the end…it's about a better night's sleep!"
