Neurosurgeon Invents Pillow That Helps People Get a Good Night's Sleep

Lack of sleep experienced by millions of older adults can complicate treatment of a host of age-related medical conditions from arthritis to diabetes, heart and lung disease and depression.

MICHIGAN, If you have trouble sleeping through the night, or your snoring or sleep apnea wakes your significant other (or even you at times). Dr. Joe Berke, retired neurosurgeon-turned-inventor may have the solution for you.

Dr. Berke has developed and patented the Better Sleep Pillow www.bettersleeppillow.com he feels will help you sleep longer and more deeply, while reducing or eliminating snoring altogether. He ought to know. Dr. Berke’s need for better sleep, and his empathy for other sleep-deprived sufferers, stems from a private battle with arm, shoulder and neck pain. He tried other conventional and orthopedic pillows made from latex foam, polyester, and goose feathers, but none worked for him. So he decided to invent one himself.

With Edison-like tenacity, he tried different materials and designs. After many years of development and more than 1,000 clinical trials, Dr. Berke and his son Jason invented a contoured, visco-elastic foam, multi-positional, multi-purpose orthopedic pillow. The visco-elastic memory foam was originally developed by NASA researchers for the Space program. The heat and pressure sensitive foam reacts to body weight and temperature, exactly molding itself to a person’s head shape for increased comfort while lying down.

This innovative pillow features a unique recess along the front width of the pillow that comfortably accommodates a person’s shoulder. The center is recessed for arm comfort and the sides are sculpted to accommodate stomach-and side-sleepers. Regardless of how a person prefers to sleep – stomach, side, or back – the Better Sleep Pillow? evenly distributes and reduces pressure on a person’s arm, shoulder, and neck, thus helping maintain the head, neck, and spine in the correct position for improved breathing. This in turn, keeps the nasal and throat air passages open, reducing snoring as well as sleep apnea – a common but dangerous sleep disorder marked by repeated episodes of cession of breathing, which can lead to high blood pressure, cardiac disease, and disordered thinking and mortality.

Dr. Berke states that the pillow is not a cure-all for people with sleeping problems. But for those who are sleep-deprived due to shoulder, neck, and arm discomfort, Dr. Berke recommends trying the Better Sleep Pillow?.

Featured on the NBC Today show on March 1, 2005 as part of an investigation into better sleep products for seniors, more than 400 pillows were sold online in less than 2 hours.

The Better Sleep Pillow is one of the least expensive ways to try to improve sleep. Some sleep problems do require medical treatment. But for those adults whose lack of sleep is caused by snoring, neck, shoulder, or pain, Better Sleep Pillow offers many suffers the hope of a good night’s sleep.
