The Best Travel Companion
The Spacesleeper is a new, innovative travel pillow that lets you rest your head comfortably while keeping your neck at a natural angle. This helps you avoid waking up with that stiff neck that is so commonly a byproduct of those travel pillows that go around your neck. It’s compact size makes it a great alternative to lugging around standard bulky pillows. And Spacesleeper doesn’t move or slide down. This makes it ideal for sleeping comfortably as a passenger in a car, plane, bus or train.
The Spacesleeper pillow also prevents dirt and germs found on many surfaces from touching your face. Even using a standard pillow to protect your face is ineffective because those pillows become receptacles for dirt and germs themselves. That’s the magic of the Spacesleeper travel pillow. Your face doesn’t touch anything and yet is incredibly comfortable. Just by keeping the dirt and germs away from your face many adolescent and adult skin problems may be reduced or even eliminated.
Order your Spacesleeper pillow today and make your next travel experience your most comfortable adventure ever!

Start the War on Aging
One of the first places we notice aging is in our skin. Most people know that the main cause is sun damage so any wrinkle prevention plan must include sunscreen. But I wanted to mention another wrinkle cause you may not have considered, your pillow. Did you know that how you sleep and what you sleep on can affect your looks. Dermatologists can often identify the side of the face you sleep on just by looking at your wrinkles.
So what are Sleep Wrinkles?
Every night while your sleeping, skin can take excessive damage being creased firmly against your mattress or pillow. These “sleep wrinkles” are temporary and usually last only a few hours into the day. While this may seem somewhat insignificant these “sleep wrinkles” can actually become permanent. You are, in effect, ironing in facial wrinkles on your skin every time you sleep. Spacesleeper allows your skin to be free of contact during the night, allowing for more comfort and leaving you “sleep wrinkle” free. Here is a quote from the Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies:
Keep pillows away from your face. “Watch out for sleep wrinkles,” says Dr. Binstock. These are wrinkles that are caused by pressing your face into the pillow at night. If you’re guilty of this habit, learn to sleep on your back instead, or experiment to find a position where your face is not pressing the pillow. You may see some of your smaller lines fade away.

A quick search of the net will reveal that sleeping on you back is the most common suggestion. Unfortunately, thats not a comfortable option for many people. Spacesleeper allows you to comfortably sleep in any position you like.
Spacsleeper also has the additional benefit of keeping your face away from the dirt and oils that accumulate on your pillow. Most people realize that dirty pillowcases can also contribute to wrinkles. We’ve all seen the thousands of cleansers dedicated to help us rid our faces of those dirt and oils. They all recommend some kind of daily cleansing routine to help avoid wrinkles and protect your skin. It wouldn’t make much sense to clean your face each day only to then spend the next 8 hours rubbing the dirt and oils back in. Well now you don’t have to. The spacesleeper pillow creates space between your face and any surface and helps you avoid re-exposing your face to dirt and natural oils. So give your face some space and look younger, longer.

According to the TMJ Association, “Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorders (TMJDs)…” are a “…set of conditions that can cause pain in the area of the jaw joint and associated muscles and/or problems using the jaw. Both or just one of the TM joints may be affected. TMJDs can affect a person’s ability to speak, eat, chew, swallow, make facial expressions, and even breathe.”
Signs and symptoms of a TMJ disorder may include:
Read what doctors and patients have to say about their experiences with the Spacesleeper Pillow: “When I first saw the Spacesleeper pillow, I knew that it would be a great product for my patients. Over the years I’ve been working with patients to get them to change their sleeping habits. Sleeping with pressure on the lower jaw can have numerous bad effects. It makes the bite asymmetric, puts pressure on the jaw joint and helps cause asymmetric grinding and clenching. The Spacesleeper can help temporomandibular problems by keeping patients off their jaw at night. I have been able to help numerous “TMJ” patients including myself when jaw joint and muscle pain flares up. The Spacesleeper, when used properly, can prevent patients from sleeping on their lower jaw. This is important and can alleviate acute pain relatively quickly. I also love to use the Spacesleeper for patients who undergo jaw and facial surgery. This helps everything to heal symmetrically by not putting pressure on the jaw or unequal pressure on the face. Lastly, I have found my orthodontic treatments are a lot more consistent and faster treatment when the patient doesn’t sleep on their jaw. So, routinely, this is a “go to” device.”
Thomas R. Pitts, D.D.S., M.S.D. “Since I came upon the “Spacesleeper” pillow, I’ve given one to each of my TMJ dysfunction patients. Everyone of them has experienced a significant reduction, if not a total elimination of myo-fascial pain. I’m employing splint therapy much less often and have drastically reduced the administration of prescription drugs to patients with this disorder.”
Louis Anderson, D.D.S., M.S.
Katy, Texas “I have seen remarkable results with my patients using the space sleeper. Patients suffering from sleepless night due to neck and jaw pain have reported significant improvement in the amount and quality of their sleep. I’d recommend this device to anyone with chronic neck, jaw pain, or headaches that seem, at their worst, in the morning.”
Bryan C. Hansen, M.S., D. C.
Reno, NV “Having been a long time TMJ sufferer, I would wake up exhausted and with severe headaches. I actually felt like I had been punched in the face. I’ve been wearing the “Spacesleeper” pillow for four weeks, and it has changed my life. The headaches are gone and I have no pain in my face. I’m sleeping normally for the first time in years, and I feel rested and full of energy for my day.”

Houston, Texas Post Operative Discomfort
After several years of engineering, research and observation, the Spacesleeper Pillow has become a revolutionary adjunct to medical and dental regimens and is already being widely used by doctors to assist their patients in many ways. Because their patients can sleep on the side or back when wearing the pillow, it has been effective in reducing postoperative discomfort in the following ways:
In addition we have observed startling impact on:
The concept of creating a space between the face and any sleeping surface is the secret. Several prototypes were researched before the ideal structure was attained. We are continually seeking ways to improve the Spacesleeper Pillow. The feedback we receive from doctors, their patients and members of our development team indicate there may be further applications.
Signs and symptoms of a TMJ disorder may include:
- Migraines that are more intense upon waking
- Sore jaw muscles
- Ear pain, ringing in the ears or even hearing loss
- Facial pain or muscle spasms
- Jaw popping/clicking
- Locking of the jaw
- Difficulty in opening the mouth fully
- Difficulty chewing
- Discomfort while talking or chewing
- Frequent neck or shoulder aches

- Facial Trauma Surgery
The design of the Spacesleeper Pillow also lends itself nicely for treatment of hospital patients. Since the critically designed outer case can be cleaned, infection and cross-contamination is greatly reduced.
In addition, this amazing pillow reduces post-surgical relapse in plastic and reconstructive facial surgical patients. Preventing these patients from sleeping on their faces only helps during post-operative recovery. Other Medical BenefitsIn addition we have observed startling impact on:

TMJ
TMJ disorders cause tenderness and pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) — the joint on each side of your head in front of your ears, where your lower jawbone meets your skull. This joint allows you to talk, chew and yawn.
Between 5 and 15 percent of people in the United States experience pain associated with TMJ disorders, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health. Women are more likely than men to develop TMJ disorders.
In most cases, pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders can be alleviated with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments, but more-severe cases may need to be treated with dental or surgical interventions.

everything you need to know... and more.
The TMJ:"TMJ" stands for TemporoMandibular Joint, or the jaw joint. You have two TMJs, one in front of each ear, connecting the lower jaw bone (the mandible) to the skull. The joints allow movement up and down, side to side, and forward and back—all the mobility necessary for biting, chewing and swallowing food, for speaking and for making facial expressions.
TMJs:Temporomandibular joint diseases and disorders(TMJDs), commonly called TMJ, are a collection of poorly understood conditions characterized by pain in the jaw and surrounding tissues and limitations in jaw movements. Injury and conditions that routinely affect other joints in the body, such as Arthritis, also affect the temporomandibular joint.
Who is Affected by TMJDs?: The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that over 10 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ problems at any given time. While both men and women experience TMJ problems, the majority of those seeking treatment are women in their childbearing years.
Causes:Not all causes are known. Some possible causes or contributing factors are injuries to the jaw area, various forms of Arthritis, dental procedures, genetics, hormones, low-level infections, auto-immune diseases, stretching of the jaw as occurs with inserting a breathing tube before surgery, and clenching or grinding of the teeth.
Diagnosis:Diagnosing TMJDs can be difficult and confusing. For example, facial pain can be a symptom of many conditions, such as sinus or ear infections, decayed or abscessed teeth, various types of headache, and facial neuralgia (nerve-related facial pain).
At present, there is no widely accepted, standard test to correctly identify all TMJ conditions. In most cases, however, a complete evaluation, including a detailed medical history, the patient’s description of symptoms, and physical examination of the head, neck, face and jaw provide information useful for making a diagnosis.
Tests that are recommended are often intended to rule out other possible medical conditions. A diagnosis of TMJDs may be made only after every other possibility has been considered and eliminated. Many TMJ patients see multiple healthcare providers, such as primary care physicians, dentists, sleep specialists, ear, nose and throat specialists, neurologists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, pain specialists, chiropractors, etc., in their search for answers.
Before undergoing any costly diagnostic test, it is always wise to get an independent opinion from another healthcare provider of your choice and one not associated with your current provider.
Progression of TMJDs:Some TMJ problems improve on their own, without treatment, within weeks or months with simple home therapy. For others, symptoms worsen over time and develop into long-term, persistent and debilitating pain. Most people with TMJ problems have relatively mild or periodic symptoms.
Symptoms:Pain is the most common symptom. TMJ pain is often described as a dull aching pain in the jaw joint and nearby areas, including the ear, which comes and goes. Some people, however, report no pain, but still have problems using their jaws. Other symptoms can include:
Additional symptoms may include: ringing in the ears, ear pain, decreased hearing, dizziness and vision problems.
Keep in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common, and is not always a cause for concern. Many people with certain TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the pain is severe and lasts more than a few weeks, see your healthcare provider.
Treatment:Because most common jaw joint and muscle problems are temporary, lasting only weeks or months, simple care is all that is usually needed to relieve the discomfort. Self-care practices, for example, eating soft foods, applying ice or moist heat, and avoiding extreme jaw movements (such as wide yawning, loud singing, and gum chewing) are useful in easing symptoms.
Unfortunately, treatments are based largely on beliefs that are not grounded in thorough scientific research. As a result, some patients are made worse by these treatments.
Insurance Coverage:Many medical and dental insurance plans do not pay for treatment of jaw joint and muscle disorders, or only pay for some procedures. Until the causes of the various TMJ diseases and disorders have been discovered, and quality science demonstrates that treatments are effective without causing harm, insurance companies will not recognize treatments that have questionable outcomes. Contact your insurance company to see which treatments are covered.
Can TMJDs be Prevented?:Patients who are told they should undergo treat-ment(s) to prevent the development of a TMJ problem should know that there is currently no evidence that such conditions can be prevented.

Is extremely addiciting. I can’t stop reading peoples secrets. Secrets are like drugs. I want more and more and more. But they’re probablly not healthy for me… or maybe they are. Maybe reading others secrets makes me feel like I can relate so I don’t post my deepest and darkest thoughts. I can’t believe how many people are out there, who love someone who doesn’t love them back, or know they exist. I have been there, I have done that. I guess you just have to go for it or forget about it. A lot of times I forgot about it. But for this one… I did. I had always thought of me and Shawn instead of me and Ian. No matter how mysterious and charming and romantic and passionate Ian was… I would always find myself hoping that Shawn was secretly jealous of us. That he wondered what it would be like to be fucking me instead of some other girl… exactly whay I was doing to him. Everytime me and Ian did almost anything I found myself thinking about Shawn. I was infatuated, I was obsessed. I would do almost anything to have him talk to me for just a second. Or leave him a text message so maybe he would think about me just for a few minutes. And then one day… I realized. It had to be me and him. We were meant to be together. I didn’t care that they were childhood friends. I didn’t care that I ripped them apart. I didn’t care that Ian almost went schizophrenic… and is still recovering… over the entire situation. All I wanted was you. And now I have you. And now I am more content then ever and all I want to do every single day is make you happy. I am still infatuated and I am still obsessed. This weekend will be the best weekend of my life. And I am literally crying right now to think of how happy we are going to be. And how much fun we are going to have. I love you so much and I am so happy how everything went. I know you have trust issues because of it… but deep down I think I did the right thing. And one day I will prove to you how much I love you, because I know right now you don’t believe me.
that didn’t end up going how I thought it would. LOL.
