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!

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.

eek,
I am currently traumatized. Yesterday, I got emotionally raped. By a girl. I got emotionally raped. And I don’t understand why I am so shook up over the comments she made and the gestures… and everything that happened. But I felt drained when I left, and wished I had never came in the first place. It wasn’t worth watching you DJ to feel like this. I feel gross and dirty. Anyways. A week from today I will be on Haight&Ashbury with the love of my life. It will have been exactly a year since we both realized that we love eachother. I am so excited to be able to share the experience together again. BFD is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to be there all day with you. I don’t care that all of our friends will be there, also enjoying the concert. The whole time I want to concentrate on you and do everything I can to make you happy. That’s what I live for, is to when you are truly happy. I can hear it in your voice and see it in your smile. And when I know that your that happy because of me… well. Lets just say thats the best feeling ever. I am sorry I hurt you the other day. I know the only time you really get angry is when your sad. I try not to mess up, but sometimes I don’t think about the consequences of my actions. And after I mess up… I want to die, because I don’t ever want to hurt you.
On another note Spacesleeper is going to be sponsoring the band Cerra Velle. You can find them on myspace… or whichever networking site is best for you… I’m sure they have. There will be MUCH, much more to come about that and I am truly excited for the chance to get to work with these guys!

unloved.
I have had a “blogger” account for almost three weeks now. To the avail of no followers. Thats how lame I am. Yes I realize that if I post a blog on one site… its the same on the other site. But somebody throw me a fucking bone man. There has to be SOMEBODY remotely interested in my adventures that doens’t already have a TUMBLR and a MYSPACE that is on BLOGGER and has looked at my profile… Or maybe not. Whatever. I feel unexciting. Thats not a word. Whatev.
this is why it started.
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.
