Down Comforters

For years I struggled with insomnia and explored every avenue imaginable in an attempt to overcome it – or at least that’s what I thought. My doctor prescribed a number of medications, but I never felt comfortable taking habit-forming drugs. I tried aromatherapy, even inhaling lavender essential oils as they are supposed to induce sleepiness. All to no avail.

Then a friend reminded me that I was overcomplicating the whole ordeal. As it turned out, the solution was much simpler than I could have imagined. Old habits die hard, and I had been sleeping with the same lumpy cotton-stuffed pillow for many years. From the moment I substituted it with a down feather pillow, the difference was apparent. Now I’m sleeping right through the night and waking up refreshed and energized each morning.
