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 people sleep better.
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 1960's. 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 stated, "Just see a film from the 1960's; everybody had long hair and was slim! People in the 1960's thought about peace, meditation, the environment, and personal development - most of which is ignored by today's junk 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 and get a Dreamhelmet to pillow the head and block out light and sound. Get a slim and healthy start because of 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 percent cotton cradles the head and a choice of several attractive fabrics grace the outside. The Dreamhelmet costs $29.95 plus shipping. For more information, or to place an order, write to Joe Hart, Dreamcloud Productions LLC, P. O.
