I use the Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow recommended; when I replace it I'll probably buy the upgrade pick mentioned in the article just to see if it's much nicer.
I've spent years trying different pillows (usually super-expensive ones) and the memory foam is by far the best for me (I am also a side sleeper).
Other random insomnia advice: try to focus on relaxing each and every muscle in your body so that you are totally slack. Mindfulness apps/podcasts can help you do this. It helps me a lot. Low-dose melatonin (1mg) is good when you're training yourself to sleep but I wouldn't take it long-term (very vivid dreams are a side effect).
- Bootwizard 7y agoI've tried mindfulness and melatonin before. Definitely took melatonin long enough to get the side effects. I'll try to get back into mindfulness but it was a difficult habit to form. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely check out this pillow.
- balfirevic 7y ago1 mg melatonin is actually more than triple the recommended dose (0.3 mg). Most people should be able to take that indefinitely.
