• Are pressure points the cause of your insomnia?

    Updated: 2010-05-31 01:00:30
    Shelterpop recently ran an article discussing how pressure points may be the reason for your tossing and turning at night. Apparently, sleeping surfaces that are too hard or ‘unyielding’ can create pressure points that make sleep difficult. We’ve written before about bed manufacturers waging war on insomnia but we’re taking this article a little more seriously. [...]

  • Insomnia sufferers should avoid daytime napping

    Updated: 2010-05-19 19:34:58
    Insomnia advice is often inconsistent. One specific piece of advice we often see recommended (and discouraged) is napping – so we were particularly keen to read a recent article from MSN Health & Fitness that specifically discusses whether napping is helpful or harmful.

    A recent article from CBS talks about various insomnia causes.
