Looking for Insomnia treatments? Try a Different Pillow

Insomnia can have a multitude of causes. Thus insomnia treatments vary greatly. In this article we will examine the inability to fall asleep stemming from discomfort caused by bad sleeping positions.

Poor resting posture can lead to aches and pains as well as restlessness. Often times, unexplained back pain, aches and sore muscles are caused by sleeping awkwardly. So for some people falling asleep and resting throughout the night is just a matter of finding a better way to get comfortable.

While this is not guaranteed to work for everyone, here is one of many insomnia treatments that a large number of people say has worked wonders for them. What is this amazing solution? It is memory foam.

This “amazing” sleep aid is comprised of several components, the most notable one being polyurethane. It is dense yet flexible, and was designed to help astronauts combat the G-force experienced during takeoff. While this cushioning device never made it in the capacity for which it was created, it has found a second and more productive role.

After performing favorably in a series of test studies, the memory foam was used to bring relief to patients suffering for bed sores and other aches associated with long stints in bed. Remember that this implement was devised by NASA. Thus you can guess that it had a high price tag. The cost made it impractical for wide spread use. However, the development of similar foam products at much more affordable prices have brought about the use of memory foam by the general public.

Not only is this foam used in pillows, but also in mattresses and devices designed to support the back. This brings us back to our original purpose. Memory foam pillows and mattresses have proven effective as a posture related insomnia treatment. There’s no guarantee, but these items might work for you.
