"Sleep is the most essential recovery tool we have and something that we need to do well every night in order to look, feel, and perform our best. Tailoring your own personal sleep sanctuary for maximum comfort is key to optimizing your sleep. People often overlook the importance of a good set of pillows, but Sleep Crown has taken pillow imagining to a whole new level and has become one of my favorite small business brands in recent years. Founded by my friend, Julie Westervelt, a restorative yoga teacher, Sleep Crown launched at the Biohacking Conference a few years ago and introduced the biohacking community to the concept of weighted sleep therapy. 

Sleep research reveals that it’s not just the number of hours of sleep you get every night, but that it’s crucially important that those hours of sleep are uninterrupted. The original Sleep Crown is an over-head pillow engineered to cocoon your head and block out light, muffle sound, and provide a gentle weight to insulate you from ambient disruptions that can wake you in the middle of your restorative deep sleep cycles. A smaller traveler version was released last year, and the newest addition is the Noble Body Pillow for a comforting, full-body hugging sensation. I can’t even convey how luxurious these pillows feel with their soft bamboo jersey knit fabric pillow cases, and I highly recommend you try them out for yourself. A Sleep Crown would also make for a fantastic gift for anyone in your life who you want to give the gift of better sleep!"
