General Science / Re: Why does a pillow on my tummy make me sleep better at night?
« on: 09/11/2013 06:31:47 »
Related to this issue of heavy pillows on one's tummy, I was talking about this today with a teenager and she said that this might be related to a tendency people have to sleep on their stomachs. Very, very good insight, I told her.
Also I finally weighed my pillow today and it's between 5 and 6 pounds.
And really, since i have been doing this about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I haven't flipped onto my side and thereby bend my body into a fetal position for several hours several nights a week. Seems to me that this current heavy pillow arrangement removes the desire to go onto my side, etc., and it also very greatly encourages a better night's sleep.
