Beyond the fact that Mediflow Waterbase pillows are clinically proven to improve your sleep quality and reduce neck pain AND that they are customizable to suit your personal pillow needs, there are five crucial reasons to include them in your retail game plan:

5) Buying a Mediflow pillow does not involve a 4 am wakeup call.
4) Buying a Mediflow pillow does not require you going out into the cold, or even getting out of bed if your laptop is close.
3) Buying a Mediflow pillow does not involve waiting in lines, or fighting angry consumer mobs.
2) Buying a Mediflow pillow as a gift pretty much makes you the coolest gift-giver ever.

And the number one reason why you should buy a Mediflow pillow on Black Friday:

1) You don’t have to put pants on to buy yourself a pillow!

So there you have it, no early wakeups, no going out in the cold, no lines, no fights, no disappointments and NO PANTS.

Disclaimer: If you already sleeping on a Mediflow pillow, you most likely will be sleeping so soundly and comfortably that your 4 am Black Friday alarm may be ignored. We apologize for any inconvenience, and any damaging effects this may have on the economy.

Don’t Worry, the Devil isn’t at Your Bedside

We’ve all heard people tell harrowing nighttime tales of alien abductions, visits from ghosts and even demonic possessions. Maybe you’ve even experienced an episode yourself. Well, good news – that most likely was NOT Lucifer at your bedside.

The scientific explanation is sleep paralysis – a short period of time during which voluntary muscle movement is inhibited, but ocular and respiratory movements remain intact. In other words, you can see your surroundings, and sometimes even feel or see a presence in the room with you (enter: aliens, devils, Elvis etc.) but you cannot move your body.  Essentially, your mind is awake, but your body and muscles are still in REM sleep.

A recent study published in Sleep Medicine Reviews  examined thirty-five different studies discussing lifetime incidents of sleep paralysis. The most interesting conclusion was that while the odds of sleep paralysis occurring in the general population are less than eight percent, the chances of incident are higher among both college students and psychiatric patients.

While I’m sure there is a joke to be made about the similarities between psych patients and college kids, the one thing they definitely have in common is a strong likelihood for disrupted sleep. Those with poor or irregular sleep patterns, including sleep disorder sufferers, are more likely to experience sleep paralysis.

So what can you do to protect yourself from nighttime demonic possessions? Do your best to avoid irregular sleep patterns and get as much QUALITY sleep as possible.  Mediflow waterbase pillows are clinically shown to improve sleep quality  – you will fall asleep faster and experience less tossing and turning. The less you disturb your REM sleep, the less vulnerable you become to sleep paralysis. Your body…and soul will thank you!
