Wanna Lose Weight? Get a Dreamhelmet
The results of recent scientific studies make it likely that using the Dreamhelmet, a combination sleep mask sound-blocking pillow, may aid weight loss by helping you sleep better.
(PRWEB) May 26, 2005 -- University of Chicago researchers reported in the
December 7 (2004) issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine that insufficient
sleep causes changes in levels of hormones that regulate hunger, making a person
crave fattening foods,
The study is believed to be the first one to show
that sleep is a major regulator of the hormones ghrelin, which triggers hunger,
and leptin, which tells the brain when it’s had enough food. This affirms a
quote by Jim de Cordova, creator of the Dreamhelmet, a patented sensory
deprivation device: “If you don’t sleep – you must eat, and
vice-versa.”
Both sleep deprivation and the percentage of Americans
fighting obesity have been increasing since the 1960s. According to the National
Sleep Foundation, Americans are averaging about two hours less sleep per night
since that time. De Cordova believes these two trends are more than just casual
bedfellows, and are aggravated by an increasingly frantic and noisy
society.
De Cordova states: “Just see a film from the ‘60s – everybody
had long hair and was slim! People in the ‘60s thought about peace, meditation,
the environment, personal development, most of which is ignored by today’s trash
culture. To lose weight and be healthy, a person needs to slow down, think about
what’s really important, and learn to sleep right. Turn the TV off! – get a
Dreamhelmet to pillow the head - block out light and sound. Slim and Healthy
start with better sleep.”
Blocking light and sound and providing a pillow
so the wearer can sleep anywhere, the Dreamhelmet has secret pockets near the
temples that contain foam ear plugs. These pockets can hide credit cards, money,
valuables, spare car or house keys or an alarm watch for a personal wake-up
signal. The Dreamhelmet also converts to a simple small pillow, attachable
pillow, hand warmer or muff.
100% cotton cradles the head and a choice of
several attractive fabrics grace the outside. The Dreamhelmet costs $29.95 plus
shipping. The direct 24 hour order number is (888) 918-5630. The website is www.dreamhelmet.com.
