Contact: Dr. Mark Hooper Jeanne Turner 1-888-676-4332 1-847-202-0582 Wilson, NC turner7@comcast.net The Five Habits of Highly Successful Sleepers Wilson, N.C. –January 27, 2010—Every year, like mystical words from the Dalai Lama, the latest best seller sweeps the globe, revealing how we can achieve our goals. Most contain great advice that's possible to follow—if you're sleeping well. Essentially, it doesn't matter what your goals are—to be the wealthiest entrepreneur, the neighborhood's nicest mom, the most tweeted twitterer, or to challenge Apolo Ohno's speed records—without proper rest you won't claim the prize. According to a British Medical Journal study, sleep-deprived drivers are as risky as drunk drivers. Lack of sleep can delay healing and contribute to obesity, diabetes and multiple health issues. The Ideal Pillow presents the five habits of highly successful sleepers. 1. Make sleep a priority. "Think of it as social networking with your body," says Dr. Mark Hooper, founder of The Ideal Pillow, Wilson, N.C. "Every organ from your brain to your skin will thank you. A full eight hours of rest replenishes your energy and rejuvenates your entire body." 2. Create the environment. Keep your bedroom exclusively for sleeping. "Shut off the computer and the TV for at least an hour before going to bed," says Hooper. "Keep the room dark and find routines that help you relax before retiring." 3. Take advantage of technology. While the bedroom might be the last place you would think of ergonomics, a proper bedding manufacturer would. The Ideal Pillow is the first company to utilize computer precision to design a pillow that conforms to your body shape, age, weight and sleep style. Hypoallergenic down and the finest quality fibers and materials create the ultimate sleep experience. 4. Align your spine. Leading medical experts know that proper posture doesn't end when we lay down our heads. Dr. Mark Hooper founded The Ideal Pillow to help solve problems he encountered among patients in his chiropractic practice. "The perfect pillow will provide support for your neck and head to keep the spine in proper alignment," says Hooper. 5. Don't take our word for it, check your sources. Reliable news outlets around the country are buzzing over The Ideal Pillow for a good night's rest. This Wall Street Journal article is quoted as saying about its Ideal Pillow test run, "Our test sleep was dreamy." Isn't that just as it should be? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703816204574487184169751174.html About The Ideal Pillow The Ideal Pillow broke new ground in the sleep industry as the world's first company to create a pillow designed by a medical practitioner—a chiropractor and the company's founder, Dr. Mark Hooper.

Contact: Dr. Mark Hooper Jeanne Turner 1-888-676-4332 1-847-202-0582 Wilson, NC turner7@comcast.net Dieter's Dream--Sleep the Weight Away Weight Control One of Many Health Benefits of Proper Sleep Wilson, N.C. –March 1, 2010—The best kept secret for the way to get bikini-ready in time for the beach might be hiding in your bedroom. How can forty winks help take care of extra fat? Dr. Mark Hooper, founder of The Ideal Pillow has some advice during this year's National Sleep Awareness Week, March 7-13, to focus on health benefits associated with proper rest, including, surprisingly, weight control. Two appetite-controlling hormones are affected by loss of sleep. The result? You're hungry! Not only are you hungry, in one sleep study, the participants' desire for high-calorie, carbohydrate-dense foods rose 45% after inadequate sleep. Another study indicates that those who sleep less than eight hours a night have a higher level of body fat. How do you break a vicious cycle of sleepless nights with days fueled by caffeine? Dr. Mark Hooper, founder of The Ideal Pillow, based in Wilson, North Carolina, has the right advice. Most common tips, such as avoiding caffeine, are familiar. But have you ever taken a sleep vacation? This can help restore a normal sleep cycle if a person has been sleep deprived for a long time. The idea is to fill up the sleep bank and also reestablish a sleep routine and rhythm to determine the right number of hours of sleep per night your body needs to feel refreshed and healthy. "The best way to do this is to leave home if possible," says Hooper. "One factor in insomnia is stress—so you need to not only leave work stress behind but household chores and distractions." One household basic that should that should travel is your pillow. "A pillow is a commonly used part of a sleep surface that plays a large role in supporting the spine and comfort for your head," says Hooper. Chiropractor and The Ideal Pillow founder Mark Hooper tried “nearly every pillow on the market” with little success in matching the right pillow to his patients' needs during his 25 years of practice. Combining years of research with his expertise and experience, Dr. Hooper configured a system based on varying body measurements, sleeping positions and personal characteristics – and The Ideal Pillow was born. He implemented a unique computerized fitting system that customizes the pillow for each individual to help create the right environment for a healthy, refreshing night's sleep. "A pillow that supports the neck and lumbar region and cradles the head with just the right amount of firmness provides not just optimum back health but overall health and restorative rest," says Hooper. And once a new healthy sleep routine established Hooper says stick to the schedule even on the weekends. "Everyone enjoys sleeping in occasionally," says Hooper, "but a regular pattern of waking and sleeping seven days a week is best for optimal health."
