Is Your Pillow Sabotaging Your Beauty Sleep?

Did you ever wake up with tousled sheets, misplaced quilts and a naked pillow?

It happens to me all the time. Many people find that they wake in the morning to a melee in their beds and they can see it written all over their faces…and hair.

You aren’t just a messy sleeper, and you aren’t having crazy dreams. All that tossing and turning could be due to improper pillow maintenance.

These simple tips will help your readers evaluate their sleep haven and decide if they need a pillow upgrade:

· Check the size of your case. Whether too big or too small, a case that doesn’t fit correctly will toss and turn with you instead of staying in place.

· Pillows tend to flatten out and bunch on the inside after years of use, not to mention they can trap allergens like dust and germs. Make sure to change your pillows every three months.

· The material of your pillow case is just as important as your actual pillow Try a brand like Branché’s charmeuse pillow covers, compared to cotton or flannel pillowcases, which can get hot and uncomfortable during the night – a big culprit of tossing and turning - Branché’s pillow covers prevents against knotty, tangled hair and “pillow case wrinkles,” aka creases in the skin.

· Try a hypo-allergenic case to protect you from allergens that may hibernate in your pillow while you sleep which can lead to a stuffy nose, sore throat and a groggy morning.
